Self-defense Product Market Size

Self Defense Products Market Size

The global self-defense product market size was estimated at USD 5.84 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 6.09 billion in 2025 to USD 10.01 billion in 2034 at a CAGR of 5.7%. Personal safety has become a top priority for everyone, especially women. Women must be equipped with self-defense techniques that can empower them to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations.
 

Over the past few decades, there has been a high shift among women across the globe in terms of careers and aspirations. Women are making inroads into different fields as access to education, empowerment, and mindsets change. Which enhances the adoption of self-defense products. For instance, 1 in 7 women in their lifetime have been injured because of violence by an intimate partner, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. 1 in 7 women have also been stalked in their lifetime to the extent that carrying out harm, or even killing, them or their loved ones was feared.
 

1 in 4 women experienced extreme violence such as strangling, beating,  or burning; 1 in 5 women have been raped. About half of these rape victims (46.7%) report being raped by someone they knew, and half of those victims (45.4%) report being raped by an intimate partner.
 

According to a recent analysis of FBI Crime Data conducted from 2013-2022 covering 227,207 reported kidnappings across 6,396 law enforcement agencies—representing only 29% of the total population—women were more than twice as likely to be abducted than men and were the most at risk before the age of 30. Ten percent of the victims were between the ages of 0-9, 17 percent were between the ages of 10-19 and 31 percent were between the ages of 20-29. Of the kidnapped people overall, 48% were under the age of 30. Out of these victims, 75.93% were female, and 23.72% were male, illustrating the vulnerability of women to abduction.
