Product Definition:
A holster is a device used to hold or carry a weapon such as a gun.
Leather (plain, basketweave, or glossy):
Leather is a flexible, durable, and dry material made from the skin of cattle. It is obtained from tanning animal hides that are processed into leather by curing them with salts such as nitrates or phosphates. The process of making leather involves several stages including de-tailing, degreasing, soaking & washing to remove impurities and further processes of dyeing & finishing according to the type of product required.
Nylon:
Nylon is a polymer and it's also known as Polyamide (PA) or Polyurethane (PU). Nylon is produced by the polymerization of hexamethylene diisocyanate. It has different grades such as type 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 which are used for different applications.
Application Insights:
Armed forces was the largest application segment in 2015 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The global holster market for armed forces is anticipated to reach USD 4,836.5 million by 2030 as soldiers prefer using modern equipment and weapons while serving in military operations globally.
The civil segment held a significant share of the global revenue in 2015 owing to increasing use of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices among individuals globally which has led to an increased demand for holsters that are capable of holding these devices safely without any harm coming into contact with device screen or edges. Moreover, growing popularity of carrying concealed handguns has also positively influenced growth across regions.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global holster market in 2017 owing to the presence of major military and law enforcement personnel across the region. The U.S., being a leading country in terms of defense spending, has its fair share of holsters for guns and other personal protection equipment. Moreover, increasing cases of violent crimes have led to an increase in demand for these products among civilians as well as law enforcement agencies across North America over the past few years.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising investments by various government organizations towards improving security infrastructure at both domestic and international levels coupled with rapid urbanization taking place across most countries present in this region including China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia Philippines Pakistan Thailand Vietnam etc.; all these factors are anticipated to drive product demand during the forecast period from 2018 To 2030 (as per GII).
