Market Overview:
The global airsoft guns market grew at a CAGR of around 6% during 2015-2020. Airsoft guns are replicas of real steel weapons that fire plastic projectiles via gas, spring, or electrical systems. They are mostly used for recreational purposes in military simulation (Mil-Sim) games wherein players participate in mock fights with authentic military-style weapons and tactics. Due to their effectiveness at close range, airsoft guns are also utilized by special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams and military units for training purposes. Besides this, these guns find application in correct weapon manipulation drills, muscle memory training, stress inoculation, and force-on-force simulations. They are also used for indoor shooting and as props in filmmaking and television (TV) production sets.
The rising concerns about health and fitness are increasing the number of sports enthusiasts worldwide. This represents one of the key factors driving the popularity of adventurous sports and outdoor leisure activities, especially among the young population. This trend, along with the growing travel and tourism industry, is escalating the demand for airsoft guns. Moreover, several organizations are transforming old buildings and previous training camps into professional airsoft fields to expand their businesses. They are also conducting sports leagues, competitions, and events, which is providing lucrative opportunities to manufacturers for introducing innovative products and attracting a large consumer base. Apart from this, the leading players are focusing on improving the aesthetics, size, and weight of airsoft guns to provide a realistic experience. They are also developing safe and economic models using biodegradable materials, which is anticipated to stimulate the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global airsoft guns market to exhibit moderate growth during the next five years.
