Electrical Weapons Market Analysis
The Electrical Weapons Market size is estimated at USD 1.78 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.41 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.34% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The electrical weapons market is poised to witness significant growth in the coming years, owing to the increasing need for effective self-defense solutions for law enforcement and military agencies.
Factors such as the growing number of violent clashes worldwide have led various law enforcement agencies to increase their acquisitions of electrical weapons, which is expected to drive the growth of the market studied. The increase in the number of investments by electrical weapons companies to develop technologically advanced weapons that are cost-effective and provide high countermeasure capabilities is anticipated to lead to the growth of the market studied during the forecast period.
On the other hand, the growing number of legal and regulatory challenges coupled with the potential capability of law enforcement or military personnel to misuse electrical weapons are expected to hamper the growth of the market studied in the long run. Nevertheless, the growing integration of electrical weapons with advanced technologies such as IoT and the increasing potential for the need for electrical weapons globally are expected to open up new business opportunities for various manufacturing companies, leading to significant growth in the market studied.
Electrical Weapons Market Trends
Law Enforcement Segment Will Showcase Remarkable Growth During the Forecast Period
The law enforcement segment is anticipated to grow significantly in the electrical weapons market. There has been noteworthy growth in terms of the need for law enforcement agencies worldwide to use electrical weapons, with conducted electrical weapons such as Taser guns gaining greater significance.
The increasing number of violent clashes between police and civilians in recent years has primarily boosted the need for such weapons. The rise in such cases has led to enforcement personnel being issued with electrical weapons ranging from electric shock batons and other hand-held weapons to weapons capable of delivering dart-like projectiles that administer an electric shock to a person located at some distance.
Various companies have also invested in integrating advanced technologies into their products to provide a competitive edge to law enforcement agencies. For instance, in June 2023, the Salt Lake City police department announced that they would be using new stun guns and other devices, which the company Axon Enterprises Inc. demonstrated. The new range of tasers comes equipped with ten cartridges and fire one probe per shot, thereby allowing precise contact with the target.
Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period
Asia-Pacific holds the highest shares in the market studied and is expected to continue its domination during the forecast period. Factors such as growing investments by various countries in the Asia-Pacific for procurement of advanced electrical weapons for law enforcement as well as the military are expected to generate growth in the market studied.
According to the data presented by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), there has been a significant growth in conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region recently. Violent clashes in countries such as India, Japan, South Korea, and Myanmar have led to an increase in the need for new electrical weapons acquisitions within the region. Furthermore, various manufacturing companies in the Asia-Pacific are now also looking forward to investing significantly in research to develop hi-tech electrical electrical weapons.
Reportedly, in April 2023, China initiated testing of a portable electromagnetic riot gun that offers tactical superiority over its traditional counterparts in terms of noise, muzzle flash, and recoil. Unlike traditional firearms that fire round bullets, the electromagnetic gun fires projectiles shaped like a coin, as the gun is designed for riot control purposes rather than causing lethal damage. The weapon uses nine coils to accelerate projectiles, which are stored in a magazine behind the coils.
