The uncertain economic circumstances, complex political situations, and weakening security conditions across the globe have given rise to unrest and protests. Armed forces and law enforcement officers are increasingly called upon to deal with internal and external threats and it is imperative that they are well-equipped to handle these scenarios. Non-lethal weapons provide the perfect solution here as they help in managing the situations effectively without any lethal impact on the people.

Armed forces increasingly operate in urban terrains, where they have to deal with criminals and anti-social people and groups that live among the civilian population. In addition, law enforcement officers often have to deal with uncontrollable mobs and transnational threats. Such circumstances emphasize the need for non-lethal weapons which minimize the risk of injury by using lethal force.

Non-lethal weapons are specially designed and employed to incapacitate an individual or vehicle while reducing injury to personnel and damage to property and surrounding. They are broadly classified into counter-personnel and counter-material capabilities, which are used for controlling crowds and for stopping vehicles respectively. They provide flexible alternatives to the challenge that law enforcement officers or soldiers face. Some missions where they prove to be effective are patrols, checkpoints, crowd control, convoys, and vessel stopping.

The North America non-lethal weapons market was valued at $2,125.6 million in 2014, and is projected to reach $2,805.6 million by the end of 2019, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. The market, by applications, was led by police forces in 2014 with a share of 87.0%. The market for offensive weapons is projected to reach $2,314.4 million in 2019, at a CAGR of 6.0%. The directed energy weapons market is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.7% by 2019. The U.S. is the leading market among all countries in North America for non-lethal weapons.

Leading players in North American market for non-lethal weapons include NonLethal Technologies, Inc., TASER International, Inc., Lamperd less Lethal Inc., LRAD Corporation, and others.
