Sports Gun Market Trends:
The increasing commercialization of sports guns as a recreational gaming tool and the extensive participation in various skeet shooting, high power rifle, popinjay, skirmish, and cowboy action shooting games by kids and youngsters are some factors primarily driving the market growth. In line with this, the ongoing investments in prominent sporting events, such as the Olympics, Commonwealth, and Asia games consisting of shooting games, are further supplying the demand for shotguns. Such firearms are used in diverse academies that provide proper training to individuals interested in national-level shooting games, which, in turn, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the escalating usage of the pistol as a preferred non-lethal tool over rifles and shotguns, owing to their convenience and easy-to-fire solution, is supporting the market growth. Apart from this, major mergers and acquisitions (M&A) amongst key players to innovate sport guns with enhanced efficacy and their availability across different distribution channels are creating a positive outlook for the market.
