What Key Drivers Are Expected to Influence Future Light Weapons Market Growth?
The escalation in terrorist actions and conflicts, coupled with the rise in illicit activities, will catalyze the expansion of the light weapons market. Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence causing fear among a large population, beyond just the immediate victims. Light weapons such as pistols, rifles, submachine guns, assault rifles, and light machine guns are deployed by law enforcement officials to manage these terror threats. The growth in terrorism, conflicts, and unlawful acts will necessitate a higher demand for light weapons to counteract them. For example, Global Terrorism Index (GTI) 2023 reported that in March 2023, the death count more than doubled from nine in 2021 to 19 in 2022, with 11 of these occurring in the US following a terrorist attack. Therefore, the accelerating trends in terrorist activities, conflicts, and the increase in illegitimate deeds will influence the growth of the light weapons market.

Which Companies Hold the Largest Share Across Different Light Weapons Market Segments?
Major companies operating in the light weapons market include Lockheed Martin Corporation, Alliant Techsystems Inc., Rheinmetall AG, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Thales Group, BAE Systems plc, Northrop Grumman Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation, FN Herstal Group, Heckler & Koch GmbH, Kalashnikov Concern, SIG Sauer Inc., Colt's Manufacturing LLC, Beretta SpA, Smith & Wesson Brands Inc., Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc., Taurus Holdings LLC, Savage Arms, Steyr Arms, IWI Ltd., Springfield Armory Inc., Ceská zbrojovka AS, Mauser Jagdwaffen GmbH, Radom LLC, Serbska Fabrika Automobila, Arsenal Inc., Zastava Arms, China North Industries Group Corporation Limited., HS Produkt d.o.o.

What Trends Are Driving Growth in The Light Weapons Market?
Prominent organizations in the light weapons market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as fully automatic machine guns, to increase market dominance and gain a competitive advantage. Fully automatic light machine guns are low-weight firearms capable of firing incessantly as long as the trigger is engaged, making them suitable for prolonged fire in military and law enforcement scenarios. For example, in February 2023, Caracal International LLC, a firearm manufacturer from the UAE, introduced the CARACAL LIGHT MACHINE GUN 556 (CLMG 556) at the International Defense Exhibition (IDEX 2023). This gun, the first of its kind in the UAE, focuses on end-user experience and employs cutting-edge rapid prototyping and precision manufacturing technologies. It comes with a five-position movable stock, an adjustable cheekpiece, and a comprehensive rail for accessories. Furthermore, it also incorporates a permanent iron sight with range customization, an integrated bipod with adjustable height, and a hammer-forged chrome-plated barrel available in three swappable lengths (13", 16", and 18") for additional durability.
