Global Tear Gas Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Tear gas, also known as a lachrymator agent or lachrymator, is a chemical weapon that stimulates the nerves of the lacrimal gland in the eye to produce tears. In addition, it can cause severe eye and respiratory pain, skin irritation, bleeding, and blindness. Tear gas are commonly deployed for riot control by law enforcement and military personnel.

Tear Gas Growth Drivers

Global community violence and protests on the rise
Civil unrest and political instability have increased dramatically during the seemingly never-ending pandemic. Due to lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions and economic instability have led to increased uncertainty and unease. There has been a huge increase in demonstrations, demonstrations, and protests related to a wide range of factors, including Black Lives Matter, COVID measures, Indian farmer demonstrations, economic policies in Latin and South America, and more. Law enforcement agencies around the world routinely used tear gas to disperse large groups of protesters. Since its first appearance during World War I, tear gas has been classified as a non-lethal weapon and has become the weapon of choice for law enforcement officers. So-called non-lethal weapons are those designed to limit the escalation of conflict in the absence of lethal force. As a result, there is a growing market for tear gas where conflict persists and where there is less international and national regulation, especially in East Africa, the Indian subcontinent. The rise in violent demonstrations around the world is bound to increase the demand for tear gas, thereby driving the tear gas market to some extent.

Tear Gas Market Challenges

With the continuous advancement of society and the continuous development of technology, more and more alternatives to tear gas have been proposed to disperse protesters and prevent the conflict from escalating. Such as active denial systems, a relatively new technology that emits highly targeted electromagnetic rays that heat the skin on contact without leaving any lasting effects. In Stockholm, officials known as Dialogue Police negotiated with protesters and explained police actions. In Berlin, police used signs and announcements to let protesters know their intentions. Spanish police use third-party negotiators who mediate the exchange of information between the police and the public, a community policing practice aimed at promoting peaceful political expression rather than suppressing it, which could avoid an escalation of conflict and thus reduce the use of tear gas. Whether it's a gentler and more accurate new technology, or a more peaceful solution to the dispute, these will have some impact on the tear gas market and create some challenges.
