Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing penetration of technology including facial recognition cameras, thermal imaging technology, and artificial intelligence (AI)--based solutions has resulted in the innovation of many new security surveillance cameras in the past few years. In addition, 4K CCTV surveillance cameras provide clear video footage. Hence, security authorities can monitor the city effectively and efficiently.
Moreover, the emergence of lightweight raw materials for personal protective equipment for police enhances survivability and performance during critical missions. In addition, players in the market in focus are focusing on the use of lightweight materials to manufacture products. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
One of the primary trends in the market is the use of electronic components in personnel protective suits. In addition, with the highly dynamic conflict environment, police and law enforcement officials, such as anti-riot police, must be provided with optimal situational awareness and connectivity for their interaction with command centers.
As a result, designers are focusing on making mission-centric, scalable, and modular personnel protective equipment. In addition, advancements in electronics have made it possible to include sensors, communication, and data-gathering instruments in body armor to make it more effective. Therefore, such developments are likely to drive the growth of the global police and law enforcement equipment market during the forecast period.
The materials used in the manufacturing of personnel protective equipment are influenced by several safety regulation norms. In addition, personnel protective equipment has to go through several checks for compression resistance, high ballistic protection, impact resistance, and safety features. For example, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has been setting standards for body armor equipment since 1972.
Moreover, the NIJ classifies the armor based on the levels of ballistic performance of the equipment. For any performance level, the standard requires that the bullet must not perforate the vest, and the vest should protect against blunt trauma. In addition, the NIJ Standard-0101.06 has certain body armor performance standards for law enforcement. Hence, such standards factor may hinder the innovation level for personnel protective equipment growth, which may hinder the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The police segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Factors such as the constitutional authority and large-scale usage of various police and law enforcement equipment by the police station to maintain law and order in the area and prevent crime are fuelling the growth of this segment. In addition, the growing number of police tactical units and rising civil unrest globally are also driving the police segment.

The police segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 1.36 billion in 2018. Moreover, growing advanced communication systems and digital technologies such as facial recognition are being leveraged by police to coordinate their work, share information, and get help quickly by deploying closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras with night vision and facial recognition capabilities. In addition, Asian countries have been prone to extremist and insurgent threats. As a result, this has made the police leverage digital technology to identify the threat and resolve such issues. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on the product, the segment is classified into lethal and non-lethal weapons, surveillance systems, communication systems, personal protective equipment, and others. The lethal and non-lethal weapons segment will account for the largest share of this segment. Some of the main factors that are fuelling the growth of the lethal and non-lethal weapons segment include the extensive usage of lethal weapons as primary equipment and reducing the risk of exposure to injury and death. In addition, the non-lethal equipment is being used at a large scale by police and law enforcement personnel to limit the escalation of violence, as well as in cases where the use of lethal force is undesirable, such as riot control, prisoner control, crowd management, refugee control, and self-defense. Furthermore, the demand for rubber bullets, tear gas, blunt trauma bullets, and electrical weapons such as Tasers is propelling the demand for the lethal and non-lethal weapons segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
