Governments in Asia Pacific countries have announced a lockdown to mitigate the effects, negatively impacting the manufacturing sector. In the APAC, China is the largest manufacturer of ammunition, followed by India and Japan. The dynamics of the military and defense sector in Asia Pacific countries have changed dramatically due to a sharp drop in demand. Ammunition production has slowed because of the lockdowns. India and Thailand, for example, have announced reductions in defense spending as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, ammunition, and assembly line manufacturing all over the APAC region have been impacted. Despite the importance of ammunition manufacturing for military applications, supply chain disruptions have temporarily slowed production. Several APAC countries have decided to cut their defense budgets in general.
