Market Introduction

The small caliber ammunition market in SAM is further segmented into Brazil and the Rest of SAM. The Rest of SAM countries include Argentina and Colombia. With a few countries having complex macroeconomic and political environments, the region has a mixed growth scenario. Despite these obstacles, positive government-led initiatives to boost economic growth and the defense industry are expected to support the future growth of the small caliber ammunition market in this region. Brazil led the region in military spending in 2019, spending US$ 26.9 billion, followed by Colombia, Chile, and Argentina, which spent US$ 10.0 billion, US$ 5.1 billion, and US$ 3.1 billion, respectively. The constant supply, availability, and proliferation of ammunition to civilians, law enforcement, and the military is one of the major factors driving the small caliber ammunition market in SAM. Brazil and Argentina, for example, are involved in the production and export of ammunition. The expansion of the ammunition trade in SAM is another driving force behind the region's market expansion. Changing laws and regulations in this region regarding civilian use of arms and ammunition are expected to provide growth opportunities for the small caliber ammunition market during the forecast period of 2021–2028.

In case of COVID-19, SAM is highly affected especially Brazil, followed by Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. The recent outbreak of the COVID–19 has significantly affected the SAM region and is continuing to shatter several countries. Until the outbreak of COVID–19, the defense industry was experiencing substantial growth in terms of production and services. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, ammunition, and assembly line manufacturing all over the world have been impacted. The government of South America has taken an array of actions to protect its citizens and contain COVID-19’s spread. Brazil is the largest spender in the military sector, followed by Colombia and Chile. The COVID-19 has hit hard on these three countries, and the military forces in the countries mentioned above are substantially dependent on international military equipment suppliers. The closure of international borders, restrictions in international trades, and governmental focus towards containing the spread of the virus have been deprioritizing military expenditure. This factor negatively influences various military and defense equipment markets, including small caliber ammunition.
