The global ammunition market is estimated to be valued at US$ 32,103.4 Mn in 2025 and is expected to reach US$ 40,050.0 Mn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% from 2025 to 2032. The global ammunition market has been witnessing steady growth over the past few years. Ammunition refers to the projectiles fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon. It consists of cartridges or shells containing gunpowder. Factors such as rising defense budgets of countries and increasing instances of cross-border conflicts have been driving the demand for various types of ammunition globally. However, stringent government regulations regarding the purchase, sale and transportation of ammunition pose challenges to the market. Rapid urbanization and growing crime rates have also been propelling the ammunition requirement for law enforcement agencies. The market is anticipated to grow further in the coming years due to rising geopolitical risk combined with recent developments around automatic weaponry.

Market Dynamics:

The global ammunition market is primarily driven by increasing defense spending of major countries aimed at strengthening their military capabilities. Escalating geopolitical tensions and cross-border conflicts have prompted governments worldwide to modernize their armed forces with advanced weaponry requiring large volumes of ammunition. Meanwhile, growing instances of urban crime and rising terrorist activities have also augmented the need for ammunition from law enforcement agencies. Further, high costs associated with setting up ammunition manufacturing plants also restrain the entry of new players. On the other hand, continuous research & development towards the development of eco-friendly ammunition using non-toxic bullets offers lucrative opportunities for sustained market growth over the forecast period.
