North America takes the largest market share

The gunshot detection systems market industry has been studied by the Marketsandmarkets researchers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it is the North American market that accounted for the largest market share in 2022.  Law enforcement agencies are also increasingly using the technology, particularly in this region. And the analysts suggest that market growth in the upcoming years is probably going to be driven by increased spending in border security. These tools can aid border patrol agents in detecting and stopping smuggling, infiltration, and illegal immigration.
