Personal Safety Need of Civilians Driving Demand for Non-lethal Weapons

Less lethal or non-lethal weapons are generally used in life threatening situations and they are capable of causing temporary non-fatal damage to a living target. These non-lethal weapons generally include light devices, air power weapons, knives, stun guns, pepper sprays, batons, tasers, etc. The demand for less lethal self defense weapons has increased in North America as a result of growing concern about personal safety in the region. Women are the major buyers of self-defense weapons and accordingly most of the non-lethal weapon manufacturers are developing weapons which can meet demands of their women customers.

Non-lethal and self-defense weapons market in North America is highly fragmented and there are many companies operating in the space which specialise in specific non-lethal weapon types. Major players operating in the non-lethal weapons market include TASER International Inc., SABRE Security Equipment Corporation, Safariland Group, AMTEC Less Lethal, LRAD Corporation, Pepperball Technologies, FoxLabs, MACE Security, Surefire, Streamlight, Tigherlight among others.
