Market Scenario

An electroshock weapon is an incapacitating weapon that is utilized for disrupting superficial muscle functions of a person by inducing an electric shock. A conductive energy device is a type of electroshock weapons that fires projectiles that administer the shock through a thin, flexible wire. Other electroshock weapons such as stun batons, electroshock belts, and stun guns, induce an electric shock by direct contact. The growing demand for crowd control weapons is driving market growth. The rising civil unrest across the globe due to economic and political crises has compelled military and law enforcement agencies to utilize such weapons that do not cause severe injury. Additionally, increasing military expenditure by developing countries such as China and India is also driving the global electroshock weapons market. Also, the growing deployment of military personnel in non-combat zones to adhere to law and order and maintain peace has also boosted the market growth. However, strict government regulations and concerns regarding the environment are some of the factors projected to hinder market growth.
