The Law Enforcement Segment is Expected to Experience the Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
Non-lethal weapons and related equipment have a vital role in law enforcement, which aims to protect individuals and uphold the law. They may be used as a less dangerous alternative to firearms, in order to reduce the risk of harm to members of the public and to criminal suspects, or in situations where some degree of force is necessary but where the use of firearms would be disproportionate. Moreover, the use of physical force (e.g., hands, fists, feet) by officers will increase the odds of injury to officers and suspects alike. Law enforcement agencies include special, local, state police, federal agencies, or drug enforcement administration that use non-lethal or less-lethal weapons to avoid injury to officers in close contact situations. Advances in less-lethal technology offer the promise of more effective control over resistive suspects with fewer serious injuries. The use of non-lethal weapons by police forces is on the rise, due to political unrest in recent years. The political turmoil in the region was the driving factor for extreme violence and riots in 2021. In April 2022, Violent riots erupted in the central Swedish city of Orebro on Friday as counter-protesters attacked police ahead of a planned right-wing extremist demonstration. The growing requirement for crowd control weapons is propelling the growth of the law enforcement segment of the market studied. The Law Enforcement segment will continue to experience high growth rate owing to the fact many European nations.
The United Kingdom to Dominate the Europe Non-lethal Weapons Market
The United Kingdom currently has the highest market share in the non-lethal weapons market. This is mainly due to the development of new less-lethal weapons that are efficient and less harmful in subduing the threat. The UK Army developed a new non-lethal weapon called Variable Kinetic System (VKS), to help soldiers in Afghanistan irritate and deter potential adversaries. The weapon fires paintball-like projectiles filled with a hot pepper solution. Moreover, the majority of law enforcement and police officers carry less-lethal weapons, like Tasers, batons, and canisters of mace spray that are less harmful when compared to traditional firearms. The Non-Lethal Weapons market in the United Kingdom will continue to grow as the number of assaults on police officers in the country is increasing, prompting the government to strengthen the police. 140,228 full-time equivalent (FTE) officers were in the post as of 31 March 2022 in the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales. this was an increase of 4% on March 2021 (up 4,927 FTEs from 135,301 officers), excluding transfers, 12,789 new police officers (FTE) joined the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales in the year ending March 2022, an increase of 662 (or 5.5%) on the previous year. This is the second-highest number of joiners in a year since records began, just behind the year ending March 2020 when there were 12,883 joiners (excluding transfers). excluding transfers, 8,117 (FTE) police officers left the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales in the year ending March 2022.
the police officer leaver rate (leavers as a proportion of headcount at the start of the year) was 6.0%, similar to levels seen between the financial years ending 2016 and 2019, and follows a dip in the leaver rate seen in the previous year coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. An increse in the number of police personals will directly increase the Non-lethal market in the country.
