December 14, 2023 | Aerospace and Defense

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Ammunition Market Report by Product Type (Bullets, Aerial Bombs, Grenades, Mortars, Artillery Shells, and Others), Caliber (Small, Medium, Large), Guidance (Guided, Non-Guided), Lethality (Less-Lethal, Lethal), Application (Defense, Civil and Commercial), and Region 2024-2032,” the global ammunition market size reached US$ 24.8 Billion in 2023.  Ammunition is the essential component of firearms and artillery, comprising various projectiles, propellants, and primers. It also plays a pivotal role in military operations, law enforcement activities, and civilian firearms use. Ammunition is engineered to precise specifications, ensuring compatibility with specific guns and achieving desired performance characteristics. Some of the standard types of ammunition designed for various purposes include target shooting, self-defense, hunting, and military combat. It is also available in diverse calibers, sizes, and configurations, catering to the specific needs and requirements of end-users. Ammunition production involves careful manufacturing processes to maintain quality, reliability, and safety standards, making it a critical component in firearms functioning.

Global Ammunition Market Trends:

The ongoing need for military and defense capabilities worldwide, as nations invest in upgrading their armed forces, modernizing equipment, and maintaining stockpiles of ammunition to ensure national security represents the key factor impelling the market growth. In addition to this, law enforcement agencies and armed forces rely on a steady supply of ammunition for training exercises and operational activities, which is creating a positive outlook for market expansion. Concurrently, the increasing civilian ownership of firearms, driven by concerns about personal safety, self-defense, and recreational shooting along with the rising consumer interest in shooting sports and hunting has boosted the demand for specialized ammunition tailored to these needs. In line with this, significant technological advancements in ammunition design and manufacturing processes, such as the development of advanced materials and ballistics technology, enhancing product performance and reliability are impelling the market growth. Moreover, the global arms trade and exports of ammunition contribute significantly to market growth as countries engage in international transactions to meet their defense and security requirements. Besides this, the development of innovative ammunition technologies, such as smart or guided ammunition, offering improved accuracy and precision, make them attractive to military and law enforcement agencies, which is fueling the market growth. Furthermore, the globalization of terrorism and insurgency threats, along with the evolving nature of modern warfare, including asymmetrical conflicts, has led to increased procurement of ammunition, acting as a growth-inducing factor. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 34.6 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 3.62% during 2024-2032.
