Global Sniper Rifle Market Highlights 2020 – 2029
The global sniper rifle market, which garnered a significant revenue in 2020, is anticipated to record a modest CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2021-2029. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increase in purchase of military sniper rifles by government agencies and their growing use for sports shooting. The escalating number of sniper rifle procurements in the defense sector can be ascribed to the increasing military expenditure and surge in initiatives for the modernization of equipment by various armed forces across the world. According to our analysis, the global military expenditure reached almost $2 trillion in 2019, the highest value recorded in the past 3 decades. Moreover, with the ability of modern rifles to shoot larger distances with high precision, the sniper rifle market is projected to progress tremendously in the coming years. The rising demand for maintaining a sufficient stock of weapons and ammunition, which is further leading to an increase in the number of arms imports is also anticipated to drive the market growth. As per the data stated by The World Bank, 27.022 billion arms were imported globally in the year 2019.
The market is segmented by range into up to 1000 meters, and beyond 1000 meters. Among these segments, the beyond 1000 meters section of the range segment is anticipated to hold the leading share in the year 2021 in the global sniper rifle market owing to the preferences of the armed forces for best weaponry with a range of over 1000 meters. Moreover, countries facing terrorism threats and cross-border tension are obtaining advanced sniper guns for responding to long-term threats, which is estimated to lead to an increase in demand for these weapons, hence propelling the growth of this segment.
