For instance, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine are a few of the major factors that have been generating huge demand for ammunitions globally. Moreover, most European countries have already announced to double their military budgets, which is also boosting the procurement of ammunition and firearms. For instance, in March 2022, seven countries, including Germany, Belgium, Romania, Italy, Poland, Norway, and Sweden, announced an increase in their defense spending due to the invasion of Russia in Ukraine. As a result, according to several defense sources, Germany announced that it would be spending an additional US$ 112 billion in its military expenditure, that also led to rise in its military spending from 1.53% of the national GDP to above 2%.
The sudden increase in demand for ammunition since 2020 is also driving the ammunition market growth. The Europe firearm & ammunition industry witnessed a ~400% increase from 2020 to 2021, according to several defense sources that have increased the procurement of ammunition.
