Major Driver Impacting Market Growth
The increase in instances of terrorist activities and conflicts and the rise in the number of illegal activities will propel the growth of the light weapons market. Terrorist acts entail the use or threat of violence to instil fear in a large number of people, not only the direct victims. Light weapons such as pistols, rifles, submachine guns, assault rifles, and light machine guns are used by law regulators to control terror activities. As terrorist activities, conflicts, and illegal activities grow, there will be an increased demand for light weapons to mitigate them. For instance, in March 2023, according to Global Terrorism Index (GTI) 2023, the number of deaths more than doubled, albeit from a low base from nine deaths in 2021 to 19 in 2022, with 11 of these occurring in the US during terrorist attack. Thus, the increasing instances of terrorist activities and conflicts and the rise in the number of illegal activities will contribute to the growth of the light weapons market.
