Ammunition Market Drivers

Growing Spending on Military & Defense 

• Countries and governments around the world are increasing their spending on military and defense applications to deal with rising political tensions and increasing risk of terrorism. This increased spending on military and defense is projected to uplift the sales of ammunition over the coming years.  

Modernization of Law Enforcement 

• Law enforcement agencies and organizations around the world are being modernized and equipped with advanced weapons and ammunition to deal with rising crime rates effectively. Surging violence and criminal activities around the world are also contributing to high demand for law enforcement modernization thereby also favoring ammunition market growth.  

Restraints 

Environmental Contamination 

• Traditional lead-based ammunition has been known to contaminate soil as well as water. As focus on sustainability increases, preference for sustainable ammunition alternatives is projected to rise and render traditional ammunition obsolete. Using sustainable materials for ammunition manufacturing could reduce profits for market players and slow down market growth. 

Stringent Regulations for Firearms 

• Sales, import, export, and usage of firearms and ammunition are highly regulated by governments around the world. Imposition of more strict regulations to own, sell, import, or export firearms and ammunition is expected to slow down the sales of ammunition in the future.
