Asia-Pacific Riot Control Equipment Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Riot Control Equipment Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period.

  • Although the COVID-19 pandemic affected the economy of all countries in the region, sales of riot control equipment were not largely affected during and after 2020 in the Asia-Pacific region. The region witnessed several protests and riots in the same year and later, resulting in law enforcement agencies using riot-control equipment to handle the crowds.
  • Increasing dissatisfaction with local governments in countries like Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia is leading to a rise in major violence and riots, generating demand for the riot control equipment market in this region. Similarly, in India, communal violence often occurs, driving the demand for riot control equipment.
  • Additionally, technological advancements in less-lethal weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance and offensive purposes, such as dropping low-velocity ammunition and pepper sprays, are expected to provide growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.
  • These factors are expected to continue driving demand for the market as law enforcement agencies strive to reduce fatalities and casualties in such events, which is likely to increase the demand for the Asia-Pacific riot control equipment market during the forecast period.

China to Dominate the Market

  • China, one of the world's largest emerging economies, has been facing numerous protests and demonstrations that often turn violent and result in loss of life and property. The enforcement agencies in the country are often under-equipped, which sometimes leads to unwanted casualties. To mitigate such incidents, the government of China has been increasing its expenditure on public security, including state security, police, domestic surveillance, armed civil militia, and other measures to deal with riots and public disturbances.
  • The rise in public security expenditure in China has been driving the market for riot control equipment in the country. China is also conducting extensive research and development (R&D) to develop sophisticated riot control equipment that can tackle huge mobs without endangering the lives of law enforcement personnel.
  • For example, in September 2019, China designed a sonic weapon that selectively targeted individuals or groups in a crowd, leaving them unable to control muscle movement and rendering them easy pickings for riot police to round up.
  • The procurement of new weaponry and the ongoing R&D for developing sophisticated riot control equipment is expected to drive the China segment of the market during the forecast period. This positive outlook of the market is due to the rising demand for riot control equipment to address labor-related, environmental, and educational issues, among others, which have led to protests and demonstrations. The use of less-lethal ammunition has also contributed to the positive outlook of the market, which is expected to grow further as China continues to invest in public security and R&D.
