North America Riot Control Equipment Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.36% through 2030

The North America Riot Control Equipment market is growing due to increasing civil unrest, heightened security concerns, and technological advancements

According to TechSci Research report, “North America Riot Control Equipment Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the North America Riot Control Equipment market stood at USD 2.85 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 3.67 billion by 2030 with a CAGR 4.36% during forecast period. The North America Riot Control Equipment market is experiencing significant growth, driven by various factors such as increasing civil unrest, advancements in technology, heightened public safety concerns, and evolving law enforcement strategies. Riot control equipment plays a crucial role in managing public protests, demonstrations, and riots, ensuring the safety of both law enforcement personnel and the general public. As societies face growing instances of civil unrest, particularly in the United States, the demand for riot control solutions has surged. Law enforcement agencies are increasingly investing in advanced riot control tools that can effectively manage large crowds while minimizing harm to individuals and preventing the escalation of violence.

A key driver of this market is the increasing need for non-lethal riot control equipment. Non-lethal solutions, such as tear gas, rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, water cannons, and less-lethal projectiles, are gaining prominence as law enforcement agencies seek to avoid fatalities and injuries while maintaining public order. The shift toward non-lethal options stems from growing concerns about police brutality and the ethical implications of using excessive force. This has led to a demand for equipment that can incapacitate or disperse individuals temporarily without causing permanent harm. Technologies like Long-Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) and directed-energy weapons, which emit loud noises or temporary disorienting pulses of energy, are gaining traction as effective tools to control crowds with minimal physical injury. The growing preference for non-lethal equipment is aligned with a broader societal demand for more humane law enforcement practices, thus driving market growth.

Technological advancements also play a significant role in the development of the North American riot control equipment market. The integration of advanced technologies, including surveillance systems, body cameras, drones, and AI-powered crowd management solutions, is transforming how law enforcement agencies approach crowd control. Drones, for example, provide law enforcement with real-time aerial surveillance of large crowds, allowing for better situational awareness and informed decision-making. These unmanned aerial vehicles can detect threats, monitor crowd behavior, and support the deployment of appropriate riot control tactics. Similarly, AI-powered crowd analytics platforms are being used to assess the mood and movements of crowds, predict potential flashpoints, and guide officers in making real-time decisions. By providing valuable data, these technologies allow law enforcement agencies to manage crowds more effectively and reduce the need for forceful interventions.

Despite these advancements, the North American riot control equipment market faces several challenges. One of the primary challenges is the increasing public concern over the ethical implications of using riot control equipment. As protests and demonstrations become more frequent, especially in the United States, the use of force by law enforcement agencies has been subject to greater scrutiny. The widespread use of equipment such as rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper spray has led to debates about their safety and effectiveness. Critics argue that such tools can cause long-term physical harm, especially when used improperly, and contribute to the escalation of violence during public demonstrations. In response, law enforcement agencies are increasingly seeking alternatives that can effectively manage crowds while mitigating the risks associated with conventional riot control methods.
