The Global Airsoft Guns Market size is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 7.6% CAGR during the forecast period.

LAMEA’s expansion is primarily attributable to the shifting consumer tastes toward adventure sports and increased disposable income, notably among young working populations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Thereby, the LAMEA region registered $105.3 million revenue in the market in 2022. LAMEA is seeing a faster-growing average number of airsoft events. Cities like Riyadh and Jeddah have established airsoft communities and fields where players can engage in games and competitions. As the popularity of airsoft continues to grow in LAMEA, it's possible that more events and dedicated airsoft venues will emerge, providing opportunities for players to enjoy the sport and engage in competitive and recreational activities. Some of the factors impacting the market are rise in health and fitness concern among individuals, growing preference for real shooting simulation sports, and problem with airsoft guns and trademark conflict.

The market benefits from people's growing knowledge of health and fitness issues. Along with social advantages, airsoft weapons also provide several physical and psychological advantages. Adequate mental health results from improved endurance, energy levels, circulation, and general physical health. Airsoft sports are team games where players must rely on one another, allowing busy individuals to socialize for a change of pace. Numerous sports groups actively host leagues, events, and competitions to promote this. Therefore, the market is expected to develop owing to the rising acceptance of recreational activities including airsoft guns among public in order to maintain health and fitness. Additionally, the development of airsoft parks and fields is gaining the attention of major corporations at an increasing rate. The sport's continued popularity attracts many new players, which is the primary element contributing to the expansion of the market. A lot of new players are also drawn in by organizations that turn abandoned homes and disused training grounds into professional airsoft fields. The growing player base of airsoft guns has transformed the sport and hobby into a thriving and inclusive community. It has also encouraged product innovation, event organization, and the development of dedicated venues, ultimately contributing to the sustained growth of the market.

However, the market is growing slowly due to trademark disputes because it is difficult for some businesses to produce realistic reproductions of actual guns. Manufacturers still struggle to achieve rapid expansion as concerns about the possible violation of intellectual property laws, particularly those associated with trademarks. Trademark disputes have significantly constrained the supply of raw materials, which has posed a problem for the market. Furthermore, the emergence of airsoft fields in numerous locations results from increasing interest in airsoft guns. But despite the abundance of fields and arenas, the excessively high entry fees hinder many people from participating. Hence all of these factors are hampering the growth of the market.
