According to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), small arms are weapons
intended for use by an individual and include rifles, pistols,
assault rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns. On the other
hand, light weapons are used by two or more persons serving as a crew
and include grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft
guns, mortars, and anti-tank guns. All these light weapons are less
than 100 mm in caliber. The rapidly changing nature of warfare and
militarization of police forces across nations have boosted the
demand from the global small arms and light weapons market.

Defense Sector to
Dominate Demand from Global Small Arms and Light Weapons Market
Small arms and light
weapons are cheap and easy to handle, conceal and transport. The
United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs notes that small arms
and light weapons have become the weapons of choice in civil wars and
for organized crime, terrorism, and gang warfare. While military and
law enforcement agencies across the globe are fuelling the global
small arms and light weapons market, illegal trading of small arms in
sensitive regions has emerged as a major challenge faced by the
market. 3D printing guns and corner shot rifles is the latest trend
in the market. 3D printed guns are untraceable during any security
checks, which has increased its demand among terrorists and
criminals. Corner shot rifles let a combatant fire without actually
facing the target.
Based on mechanism,
small arms and light weapons can be segmented into automatic,
semi-automatic, select fire, and manual weapons. The demand for
automatic and semi-automatic small arms and light weapons has been
significantly high. Defense, commercial, and homeland security are
the key end user segments of the global small arms and light weapons
market. The defense sector dominates the overall market.
Demand for Small
Arms and Light Weapons Surges in Syria
Geographically, the
global small arms and light weapons market has been segmented into
Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World. The U.S.
and Israel are the key regional segments of the global small arms and
light weapons market. However, in the near future, Asia Pacific is
expected to emerge as a prominent region in the market. The Middle
East is another major contributor to the global small arms and light
weapons market due to the political instability, civil unrest,
domestic terrorism, and tensions between Iraq and the neighboring
Gulf states. Further, the ongoing conflict in Syria has propelled the
demand for small arms and light weapons.
