DUBLIN, October 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Small Arms Market - Analysis and Forecast (2016-2022)" report to their offering.

The global small arms market is expected to reach $5695.86 million by 2022.

Global small arms market is a well-established industry with a few reputed players. But with the waning geopolitical situation fraught with sectarian wars in the Middle East, political instability and local armed insurgencies, the demand for small arms is set to grow rapidly in the coming years.

Increasing participation in hunting and shooting sports, rising demand for self-defense and law enforcement are some of the key drivers of the global small arms market. Product launches and acquisitions are some of the strategies which are being adopted by the key market players to maintain their dominance in the global small arms market.

The global small arms market is segmented based on gun type, cutting type, by operation and on use across different applications.

Based on the type of cutting, small arms are classified into rifled and smooth bore. Rifled bore small arms have internal grooving while smooth bore small arms lack internal grooving.

There are three types of small arms based operation viz. automatic, semi-automatic and manual small arms. The demand for semiautomatic small arms is expected to show high growth during the forecast period on account of an increased demand for commercial firearms. Factors like rise in social violence in parts of Europe with the inflow of immigrants from the Middle East will create a demand for self-defense and law enforcement small arms.

Small arms finds its use across different applications viz. military, law enforcement, civilian self-defense and hunting and shooting sports. Hunting and shooting sports have the biggest market followed by military small arms.
