South America-Non Lethal Weapons Market Analysis

The Latin American non-lethal weapons market is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 3% during the forecast period.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market since there was a decrease in demand for the procurement of new non-lethal weapons by various countries worldwide due to a fall in the production of non-lethal weapons by various manufacturers. Additionally, this led to a decline in the revenues for various manufacturers across the globe, owing to late deliveries of the final product, manufacturing shutdowns, reduction of staff at the production facilities as well as limited availability of components that are essential for the manufacturing of the final product. The post-pandemic scenario has created new opportunities for non-lethal weapons manufacturers. Significant increase in procurement plans by various countries worldwide has given a boost to the production of non-lethal weapons, which is anticipated to lead to growth in the market in the coming years.
  • The rise in civilian unrest and protests in the Latin American region has resulted in the governments taking precautions and arming the military and the police forces with non-lethal weapons to tackle such situations.
  • Technological advancements, in terms of non-lethal weapons, are expected to provide growth opportunities for the players in the region in the years to come.

South America-Non Lethal Weapons Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the South America-Non Lethal Weapons Market according to our research experts:

Law Enforcement Segment Held the Largest Share

The law enforcement segment held the largest market share and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The last three years saw numerous riots in countries like Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Argentina. The local economic crisis and political instability in the countries were the major reasons for the riots. In such situations, non-lethal weapons play an important role in riot control, as they can be used as a less dangerous alternative to firearms in order to reduce the risk of harm to the public or in situations where some degree of force is necessary but where the use of firearms would be disproportionate. 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. The use of non-lethal weapons by police forces is increasing in Latin American countries. Thus, the growing requirement for crowd control weapons is propelling the growth of the law enforcement segment of the market studied.

Brazil is Expected to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period

In 2021, Brazil occupied the largest share of the Latin American non-lethal weapons market. This demand can be attributed to the growing civilian unrest and riots in the country. There has been a surge in prison riots in Brazil in recent years, claiming the lives of hundreds of people. A major reason behind the increasing prison riots is the lack of resources for the country's overcrowded and underfunded prison system. The government is focusing on mitigating the threats pertaining to such situations in the future, which is expected to help the growth of non-lethal weapons in the country. In addition, urban violence and civilian protests are on the rise. Non-lethal weapons, like tear gas, rubber bullets and batons, pepper spray, and tasers, are prioritized in police operations across Brazil. Non-lethal technology companies have witnessed a revenue increase of almost 30% in Brazil, and the overall government policy toward the use of less harmful devices is anticipated to prompt more sales in the country. In addition, certain units of the Brazilian military are gradually increasing the stock of non-lethal weapons, such as electro-shock taser guns. All these factors are expected to help the growth of the market in Brazil in the years to come.
