Restraining Factor

Restrictive Gun Laws in Different Countries May Inhibit Market Growth

Gun ownership laws have evolved over the past several decades across countries, becoming more restrictive with growing instances of gun violence. For example, gun laws have grabbed attention in the US owing to the recent instances of mass shootings in the country. The right to possess firearms is constitutionally protected in the US under the Second Amendment, but misuse of this right has forced the US Supreme Court to impose prohibitions on gun ownership and usage. Similarly, Canada has strict gun laws, prohibiting the possession of automatic weapons and restricting the purchase of handguns and semiautomatic shotguns or rifles. In Australia, the National Agreement on Firearms instituted licensing and registration requirements for owning firearms. These laws are likely to limit the small caliber ammunition market growth as the increasing stringency of gun regulations in many countries will inevitably inhibit the adoption of any sort of ammunition.

Regional Insights

High Demand for Firearms in the US to Propel the North America Market

At USD 4,412.9 million, North America dominated the small caliber ammunition market share in 2019 and the region is expected to hold its leading position in the global market during the forecast period. The main reason for the region’s dominance is the easy accessibility to firearms in the US, which is fueling the demand for small ammunition in the country. Furthermore, the region is home to some of the largest defense organizations such as General Dynamics and Olin Corporation that are constantly developing and introducing advanced guns and ammos in the US market.

In Asia Pacific, the primary growth driver is the increasing intensity of cross-border tensions between major military spenders such as India and China. Meanwhile, in Europe the demand for small ammunitions is being driven by the rising investments in defense technologies by private companies in the region.
