Overview:

De-escalation tactics have evolved, and riot gear has shown to be a valuable resource in efforts to prevent injury and loss of life on both sides. Riot control refers to the activities used by military, police, and other security personnel to prevent violence, disperse crowds, and arrest participants in a riot, demonstration, or protest. The riot control equipment market includes all of the equipment utilised by law enforcement, military, and other security agencies. Researchers are working hard to develop less-lethal weapons that will help police and military professionals better manage crowds. Moreover, Riot control equipment consists of protective gear and non-lethal weaponry that disturbance control officers employ during a riot.

Segmentation of Riot Control Equipment:

  • Riot Protection Helmet.
  • Gas Mask.
  • Crowd control systems.
  • Riot Shield.
  • Body Armour.

Indian Scenario:

There is significant progress in the development of non-lethal crowd control methods, the police safety equipment employed in India has evolved. The government has made strides toward making survival and protection a priority. The Defence Purchase Council (DAC) bolstered the “Make in India” campaign in November 2021 by granting Acceptance of Necessity (AN) to capital acquisition bids worth Rs. 7.965 crore (US$ 1.07 billion) for armed services modernization and operating needs. While increasing the automatic route limit for FDI in the defence sector to 74 percent, this will boost national security, product design self-sufficiency, investments, revenue, and employment. MSMEs are one of the most important sectors that has benefited from the Atma Nirbhar Bharat and has demonstrated excellent results. The contribution to riot control equipment research, development, and modernization will be the driving force stalwarting India’s presence in international markets for riot control equipment in the future.
