The global ammunition market is envisioned to garner $31.71 Billion by 2031, growing from $21.98 Billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2022 to 2031.
The term "ammunition" describes the projectiles and explosive charges used in small arms, artillery, and other firearms. The most common way to describe its size is in terms of caliber. The diameter of the projectile, measured in millimeters or inches, such as projectiles less than 20 mm, is known as the caliber. Small-arms weapons are defined as those with a diameter of 60 inches, whereas artillery weapons have bigger calibers. Many individuals participate in hunting and shooting as a hobby or sport, and they require ammunition to do so. As a result, the demand for ammunition in the hunting and sporting sector is quite high. Additionally, the growing popularity of shooting sports such as target shooting, clay pigeon shooting, and biathlon has contributed to the increased demand for ammunition in recent years. The ammunition market's growth in the hunting and sporting sector is expected to continue in the coming years as more people participate in these activities.
The production and use of ammunition can have negative environmental impacts, which have become a growing concern for both governments and consumers. Some of these impacts include pollution from the manufacturing process, waste from expended cartridges, and lead contamination from lead-based ammunition. In response to these concerns, many governments have implemented regulations aimed at reducing the environmental impact of ammunition production and use. For example, some countries have banned or restricted the use of lead-based ammunition, which can leach into the soil and water and harm wildlife.
The ammunition market has been growing steadily in recent years due to increasing demand from law enforcement agencies, military, and civilians. There is a growing demand for ammunition that is more accurate, reliable, and efficient. This has led to innovations in ammunition design and technology, such as new materials, coatings, and manufacturing processes. The ammunition market is not limited to military and law enforcement agencies. There is a growing demand for ammunition from civilians, particularly in regions where gun ownership is legal. Companies that can successfully expand into new markets could see significant growth opportunities.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought several uncertainties leading to severe economic losses as various businesses across the world were on a standstill. The pandemic caused disruptions to global supply chains, which affected the production and distribution of ammunition. In addition, restrictions on travel and gatherings resulted in the cancellation of many shooting events and competitions, which reduced the demand for ammunition. Moreover, government agencies and law enforcement increased their purchases of ammunition to ensure adequate supplies for their operations during the pandemic. The closure of shooting ranges and other recreational facilities resulted in a decrease in demand for ammunition in some areas.
The key players profiled in this report include Northrop Grumman Corporation, FN Herstal, Olin Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation, BAE Systems, Inc., Rheinmetall Defense, Nexter KNDS Group, Hanwha Corporation, ST Engineering, and Remington Arms Company LLC.
