The ammunition market in South & Central America is expected to grow from US$ 2,528.09 million in 2022 to US$ 3,270.05 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2028.

Technological Advancements Across Firearms Industry

Technological advancements in the firearm industry are generating huge demand for new and advanced ammunition across the world. It has been witnessed that the introduction of new guns and launchers has been rising over the past few years, which is increasing the demand for new and innovative firearm components. For instance, the introduction of longer 52 caliber barrels has led to an increased range of 155mm guns, which has been adopted by several armed forces such as army, navy, and air forces. These barrels are also likely to replace the traditional 39 caliber systems and cater to the low range challenges of such barrels.

Further, several projects launched by armed forces to introduce new guns and firearms are also likely to propel the introduction of new firearm parts that are expected to catalyze the ammunition market growth. Moreover, the use of composite materials in the missiles and guided munitions across different armed forces are expected to boost the market in the coming years.

Market Overview

The ammunition market in South America is bifurcated into Brazil and the Rest of South America. The Rest of South American countries include Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and others. South American countries have experienced a rise in military expenditure over the years. This growth is attributed to the rising government initiatives to strengthen their military and law enforcement agencies to protect against external and internal threats by acquiring advanced equipment and weapons across South American countries. South American countries such as Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, and Colombia are involved in the production and export of munitions. This growth in ammunition trade across South America is also boosting the growth of the ammunition market in the region. The constant supply, availability, and proliferation of ammunition to civilians, law enforcement, and the military is one of the major factors driving the ammunition market in South America. Brazil and Argentina, for example, are involved in the production and export of ammunition. The expansion of the ammunition trade in South America is also boosting the market growth. Changing laws and regulations regarding civilian use of arms and ammunition are expected to provide growth opportunities for the SAM ammunition market during the forecast period. Major players in the South America ammunition market are CBC, FAMAE – Fábricas y Maestranzas del Ejército Todos Los Derechos Reservados, Aguila Ammunition, IMBEL, and OTIC-CAVIM. Most of the players are local players and state-owned enterprises, providing support of ammo to relevant local border guards, military personnel, and law enforcement officers, such as police officers. Global players can enter the South America market based on brand equity and capture a large market share with a few local players in the region. Further, ongoing ammunition deals and renewals with existing local state market players are likely to be an entry barrier for foreign players. Such involvement of local players in the ammunition market is driving the growth of ammo and creating the revenue for the South America region.
