Covid-19 Scenario

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global small caliber ammunition market. This is owing to disruptions in the supply chain, production, and distribution of small caliber ammunition, resulting in a reduced demand for small caliber ammunition products.
The closure of shooting ranges and hunting grounds, and restrictions on international trade also led to the reduced demand for small caliber ammunition products during the pandemic.
The military and law enforcement sectors continued to drive the demand for small caliber ammunition during the pandemic. On the other hand, the demand from the civilians came down because of the closure of shooting ranges and hunting grounds.

By size, the small caliber ammunition market is categorized as 5.56mm, 7.62mm, 9mm, .50 caliber, and shotshells. Among these segments 7.62mm segment captured the significant market share as compared to other segments owing to the higher use of this ammunitions by civilians and armed forces of countries. Furthermore, the development of advanced 7.62mm ammunition is another trend in the segment. For instance, in 2019, a major ammunition manufacturer announced the development of a new 7.62mm round that was designed to increase accuracy and consistency at longer ranges. The development of advanced 7.62mm ammunition offers opportunities for market players to differentiate their products and capture market share.

By application, the small caliber ammunition market is categorized as military, civilians, and law enforcement agencies. The civilians segment dominated in the global market segment due to the rising concerns regarding personal safety which increases the demand for small caliber ammunitions. For instance, in the U.S., the civilian application for small caliber ammunition is highly fragmented, with many small and large manufacturers catering to the demand for ammunition. The demand for small caliber ammunition in the civilian segment is driven by the need for reliable, affordable, and accurate ammunition for recreational shooting and personal protection.

The key market players in the small caliber ammunition market are Northrop Grumman Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation, Nammo AS, CBC Global Ammunition, Olin Corporation, BAE Systems Plc, FN Herstal, Vista Outdoor Inc., Poongsan Corporation, and DSG Technology AS.
