The global ammunition market is estimated to reach a value of USD 7.78 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 1.93% from 2015 to 2020

The ecosystem of the ammunition market comprises raw material suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and end users. The key end users of the ammunition market are defense and homeland security sectors, followed by civilians. The ammunition market is characterized by direct distribution channels and the presence of mainly OEMs and Tier 1 & Tier 2 companies. 

Some of the key players of the ammunition market include Orbital ATK (U.S.), General Dynamics Corp. (U.S.), Poongsan Corporation (South Korea), BAE Systems (U.K.), and Nammo AS (Norway), among others. These players are adopting strategies such as new product developments, long-term contracts, and business expansion to strengthen their positions in the global ammunition market. They are also focusing on developing new products by investing considerable amounts of their revenues into R&D to introduce advanced ammunition with higher precision and reduced weight.
