Middle-East And Africa Non-lethal Weapons Market Analysis
The Middle East and African non-lethal weapon is expected to register a CAGR of 4.34% during the forecast period
- The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to various countries implementing border restrictions as well as lockdowns which led to restrictions in terms of the supply of the components which are used to make the less lethal weapons. During the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturing witnessed a steep decline due to supply chain disruption. Post the lockdown, however, the demand has surged on account of the ongoing political turmoil in some countries like Lebanon, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, and Libya, leading to situations similar to an insurgency.
- The increasing dissatisfaction with the local governments in these countries is leading to an increase in major violence and riots, necessitating law enforcement agencies to utilize non-lethal methods for crowd management. This has led to an increase in orders to procure new non-lethal weapons to effectively tackle a dangerous situation.
- With the presence of very few players in non-lethal weapons manufacturers in this region, there is a profitable scenario for new companies to enter the Middle East and Africa non-lethal weapons market. However, the low GDPs of the African countries and recurring investments required to evolve a non-lethal weapon in compliance with developing industry norms may hamper the growth of the market.
