Market Introduction

North America has one of the largest armed forces in the world. In North America, most ammunition is produced by government-owned contractor-operated manufacturing plants that are owned by the US government but allocated to and operated by a private company for a definite period. This allows both entities to look after their interests, while performing duties for which they are best suited. The government establishes requirements and retains its ammunition supply base for use in case of a national emergency. The contractors have to compete for the initial deal and then manage the facilities to implement ammunition production. Resultantly, the ammunition industry in the region witnesses a great profit. The market growth in the region is majorly driven by the rising investment in research and development for military modernization plans for procuring the latest ammunition assets to replace the existing ammunition assets. Increasing defense budget in the region and long-term competitive strategy of the US Department of Defense for developing advanced technologies and new concepts of warfare is anticipated to drive the demand for small caliber ammunition. In addition, strong presence of several established market players in the region such as Northrop Grumman Corporation and General Dynamics Corporation contribute to the demand and supply of small caliber ammunition in the region. Furthermore, US the army is deployed in more than 150 countries of the world. Growing investments by homeland security and law enforcement departments and rising need of modernizing military operations with rapid changes in warfare are the major factor driving the growth of the North America small caliber ammunition market.

In case of COVID-19, North America is highly affected specially the US. The COVID-19 pandemic has had no impact on ammunition demand in the defense sector in the United States. The US Department of Defense (DoD) has asked manufacturers to continue with ammunition-related product activities. However, demand for ammunition in civil and commercial applications has shifted, particularly in sporting and hunting activities. The demand for ammunition for self-defense purposes has increased significantly. “About 2 Million Guns Were Sold in the US as Virus Fears Spread,” according to the New York Times, which highlights the increased ammunition demand for self-defense applications in April 2020.
