Which Key Market Drivers Will Shape Light Weapons Industry Trends in 2025-2029?
Growth in the light weapons market is expected to be driven by increasing terrorism and conflict incidents as well as growing illicit activities. Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence, causing fear among more than just the immediate victims. Law enforcement agencies employ light weapons like pistols, rifles, submachine guns, assault rifles, and light machine guns to counteract terrorist actions. As the frequency of these activities rises, demand for light weapons to curb them is also expected to surge. For example, Global Terrorism Index (GTI) data from March 2023 indicated a more than double increase in death rates - from nine deaths in 2021 to 19 in 2022, with 11 of these in the US as a result of a terrorist attack. Therefore, escalating rates of terrorism, conflict and unlawful activities are expected to further spur the light weapons market growth.

Which Global Trends Are Driving Light Weapons Market Expansion?
Leading enterprises in the light weapons industry are concentrating on technological enhancements, like fully automatic machine guns, to expand their market presence and gain a competitive advantage. Fully automatic light machine guns are convenient firearms due to their lightweight and ability to continuously discharge rounds whilst the trigger is held down, making them perfect for ongoing utilization in military and law enforcement scenarios. For instance, Caracal International LLC, a firearm manufacturer based in the UAE, launched the CARACAL LIGHT MACHINE GUN 556 (CLMG 556) at the International Defense Exhibition (IDEX 2023) in February 2023. Developed as UAE's first machine gun, the CLMG 556 is designed with the user experience in mind, incorporating cutting-edge rapid prototyping and precision manufacturing techniques. It also includes a five-position telescopic stock, an adjustable cheekpiece, and a long rail for attachments. Additionally, it also comes with a preset iron sight with range adjustment capacity, an integrated bipod with an adjustable height, and a hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel offered in three changeable lengths (13", 16", and 18") for added durability.
