North America Non-lethal Weapons Industry Overview

The market for North American non-lethal weapons is fragmented, with several players providing various types of less-lethal weapons to military and law-enforcement agencies. Some prominent North American non-lethal weapons market players are Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc., Pepperball Technologies Inc., Genasys Inc., Axon Enterprise Inc., and Safariland LLC. 

To increase their market share, the companies are implementing merger and acquisition strategies by acquiring companies that complement their existing product portfolio. For instance, in May 2021, Byrna Technologies Inc. announced the acquisition of Mission Less Lethal from Kore (US) Outdoor Inc. Mission Less Lethal is one of the US-based manufacturers of shoulder-fired .68 caliber non-lethal launchers for law enforcement and other security agencies. 

The companies are also introducing product innovation initiatives to strengthen their market presence. On this note, in May 2022, Verus Research received a small business innovative research (SBIR) contract from the US DoD Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office (JIFCO) that provided funds to develop broadband counter-electronics weapons (BCEW). The BCEW is a long-range, non-lethal weapon that is expected to be used for stopping vehicles and vessels. Such agreements for developing new, less-lethal weapons are expected to help the companies increase their regional footprint.
