A holster is a case used for carrying a gun and is primarily made of leather or plastic. It is usually placed in a location from where the gun can be withdrawn easily for use. Holsters are mainly attached to a waistband or belt, but they can also be fastened to other parts of the body such as the ankle and shoulder. Holsters are mainly designed to provide protection to the handgun, and secure its retention and provide ready access to it.
The global holster market, in terms of revenue, was valued US$ 1,581.2 Mn and in terms of volume, it was 31,021.7 Thousand Units in the year 2018, and is expected to increase with a significant CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period. The market for holsters is increasing globally owing to the increasing investment in the defence industry. With the increasing use of guns, the demand for Holster Market rises gradually. They are mostly used by uniformed law enforcement officers and security personnel, and plain-clothed officers. The National Defence has an upper hand on capability planning and has constantly made best practices to make sure that Canadian Armed Forces have the abilities and resources needed to fulfil their engagements. However, stringent environmental rules and regulations on the material used for manufacturing holster may hinder the global Market demand for the product.
