IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID's influence on the market for non-lethal weapons is unpredictable, and it is expected to remain in effect until the second quarter of 2021.

To contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, governments around the world implemented harsh lockdown and made social distance essential. As a result, numerous organisations began work-from-home programme as safety precautions. This resulted in a sharp drop in demand for non-lethal firearms for personal use all around the world.

Furthermore, the nationwide lockdown compelled non-lethal weapons manufacturing plants to shut down partially or completely.

The negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused global delays in actions and projects aimed at developing breakthrough non-lethal weaponry alternatives.

The less lethal ammunition market is divided into law enforcement, military, self-defense, and others based on end user. The law enforcement segment is expected to develop at the fastest CAGR during the projection period. The growing militarization of law enforcement agencies around the world, as well as an increase in political disputes and civil unrest, can be contributed to the expansion of this category.

the shotgun weapon type category led the less lethal ammunition market, accounting for more than 54% of worldwide sales. The category dominated the entire LLA market and is predicted to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period due to the popularity of the 12-gauge calibre among end-users and manufacturers.

The launcher weapon category is also one of the most popular in the less-lethal ammunition market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2 percent from 2021 to 2028. The segment is expected to rise due to the introduction of superior 40 mm calibre low-velocity cartridges with improved precision and dependability in all climatic situations.

Bullets made of rubber Due to the increasing use of 12-gauge shotguns and 40mm rubber bullets for mass control activities, this category dominated the market in 2022 and is predicted to increase at the greatest CAGR during the forecast period.

Rounds of Bean Bags The category is likely to expand during the projection period as law enforcement agencies increasingly deploy bean bag rounds for crowd control management.

Bullets made of polyethylene/plastic The increased use of polyethylene/plastic bullets by developing countries such as India is likely to fuel segment expansion.

Smoke and OC/CS Munitions The segment will increase at a favourable pace in the global market during the projected period due to the widespread use of smoke munitions for medium to long-distance law enforcement to ensure physical integrity.

Rounds of Flash Bang Flash bang rounds emit terrible noise between 140-180 DB, which is why they are accepted by all governments worldwide.

Paint balls are widely employed by law enforcement organisations for tactical combat training and crowd control activities, hence the segment will develop steadily over the projection period.

Others Wax bullets, wooden bullets, and sponge grenades are among the items under the Others category.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
