Global Self-Defense Products Market by Product (Folding Knives, Pepper Sprays) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
Global self-defense products market was worth USD 2.4 billion in 2018. It is projected to grow at 5.9% CAGR between 2019 and 2025. The global market is driven by rising civil unrest around the world. The demand for self-defense arms is not only driven by civil tensions but also recreational activities like hunting and camping.
The market is also being accepted by consumers because it offers a variety of personal safety products that are convenient. Manufacturers are also working hard to develop compact products that have more than one feature.
Gerber Auto Knife, a fully-automatic stainless steel tool with a release button that is large enough to be used easily, is an example. Gerber also offers folding Tanto Knives with torch lights. These integrations will enhance the functionality and performance of folding knives which will in turn favor market growth.
Hunting is a popular outdoor activity in America. This is driving demand for folding knives that can be used to defend oneself and other purposes. About 11.5 million hunters aged 16 and over participated in American hunting activities in 2016.
These knives are essential tools for hunters due to their compact size and folding function with a lock blade. These knives can be used for many purposes, including skinning and other hunting activities. Folding knives are expected to be in high demand because of their ability to help hunters survive and self-defense. This will fuel the global market.
Product Insights
The largest share, 71.2%, was attributed to folding knives in 2018. The product has been modified in many ways since the introduction of folding knives. These include utility features, design, raw materials, knife structures and appropriate applications. Consumers are increasingly looking for compact folding knives because of their versatility and small size.
Manufacturers have made it their mission to accommodate multiple features and tools in a single folding knife. The James Brand has an updated folding knife, Elko, that features a titanium handle and doubles as a keyring. The Elko features a 1.79-inch blade with a nail nick and opens with a razor thin point. As an additional utility, the keyring point can also be used as a screwdriver or a light pry instrument in a pinch.
The popularity of pepper sprays has been high and they are expected to grow at a 5.7% CAGR over the forecast period. Because pepper sprays are becoming more popular among women, they have gained increasing acceptance in the international market as a convenient and effective self-defense tool. Unisafe Technologies, a well-known spray manufacturer, has seen a 200% increase in sales. This is mainly due to the increased demand from women.
Distribution Channel Insights
Sporting goods stores had the highest share at 55.0% according to the distribution channel in 2018. This distribution channel is popular because it allows for easy availability and legal authorization to sell these products.
These products will see the greatest growth in online distribution over the next few years. Manufacturers are turning to more convenient distribution methods to reach large customer bases due to the growing tech-savvy population and increasing popularity of online shopping. Some of the most popular suppliers of personal defence products are third-party retailers like Amazon.com and PepperEyes.com.
Regional Insights
The largest share, 30.0%, was held by North America in 2018. The majority of the demand comes from Americans who use stun guns, pepper sprays and folding knives. The market is expected to grow rapidly due to increased investments in the research and development of safer self-defense weapons for civilians. The market will be able to expand due to the fact that Canada's crime rate is increasing.
Asia Pacific will experience the highest CAGR of 6.4% between 2019 and 2025. This market is primarily driven by India's increasing penetration of these products. The market will see a rise in demand due to the increasing civil unrest in India, China, Japan and other countries.
