Global Ammunition Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Ammunition market size was valued at US$ 35510 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 16070 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -10.8% during review period.
Ammunition encompasses materials designed for use in various weapon systems, including those that are fired, scattered, dropped, or detonated. This category includes both expendable items, such as bombs, missiles, grenades, and land mines, as well as component parts like bullets and warheads that interact with targets to achieve desired effects. Ammunition is essential for the operation of mechanical weapons, supporting a wide range of applications from individual self-defense to large-scale military engagements. It plays a pivotal role in both offensive and defensive strategies, and its significance spans military, law enforcement, and civilian sectors.
Market Trends and Developments
The global ammunition market is currently influenced by several critical trends. The ongoing geopolitical tensions and military conflicts, notably the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, have significantly increased the demand for military propellants and explosives. These conflicts are driving nations to boost their defense budgets and invest in advanced munitions to enhance their military capabilities and ensure national security. This surge in demand is evident in the increased focus on long-range artillery systems capable of striking targets at extended distances. Military forces are also prioritizing precision-guided artillery shells to improve accuracy, minimize collateral damage, and enhance the overall effectiveness of their strikes. Additionally, the rise in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has led to a growing need for artillery shells equipped with non-lethal and counter-UAS capabilities to effectively neutralize hostile drones while reducing the risk of collateral damage.
Key Players and Market Distribution
The ammunition industry is marked by its relatively low technology barriers and high labor intensity. Key players in the global market include prominent companies such as Orbital ATK, Vista Outdoors, Olin Corporation (Winchester Ammunition), Ruag Group (Ruag Ammotec AG), FN Herstal, and Nammo. Among these, the top three—Orbital ATK, Vista Outdoors, and China North Industries Corp (NORINCO)—command a significant portion of the market, holding over 22% of the global market share collectively. The United States and Europe are the leading regions in terms of consumption, accounting for approximately 47% of the global volume. This dominance is driven by the substantial demand for ammunition across both military and civilian applications within these regions. As the industry progresses, advancements in ammunition technology, including precision-guided munitions and counter-UAS capabilities, are expected to further shape market dynamics and drive future growth.
