Less-lethal ammunition is distributed for commercial purposes, such as law enforcement, prisons, military, and authorized government agencies, through either B2B (business-to-business) or B2C (business-to-customer) channels. In the B2B model, manufacturers sell finished products to firms like firearms stores or distributors, while in the B2C model, they directly sell to end customers. These non-lethal bullets, made from hard plastic or polyethylene, can be discharged from shotguns or similar weapons and designed to incapacitate suspects without causing permanent harm. They are highly valuable for law enforcement agencies in situations where lethal force may not be necessary or suitable.

Plastic bullets are notably effective in situations where law enforcement officers need to maintain a safe distance from suspects, as they can be fired from several meters away. The global market is highly competitive, with participation from both regional and multinational entities. Governments engage in contracts with numerous domestic and foreign entities to procure products and services. Consequently, manufacturers find themselves in competition not only with other major corporations and defense contractors but also with smaller firms specializing in specific technologies or capabilities. Additionally, state-owned defense manufacturers' offerings further contribute to the competitive landscape.
