Technological Advancements Like the Smart Gun Technology Projected to Drive the Market Growth During the Forecast Period

Technological advancements like the Internet of Things (IOT) and the penetration of digitalization are driving the growth of the market currently. One such result of the penetration of the technological advancements in this industry is the smart gun technology. Though this technology is available for the industry since a long time, their demand has seen a surge in the number of lost/stolen rifles and shotguns in countries such as United States of America in the last 5-10 years. Even though the numbers reduced in the last two years, they are still significantly high, which has resulted in the regaining of traction in terms of emphasis on smart guns. Smart guns can only be operated by its legal owner and prevents the access by other people. This can help in lowering the gun related injuries and homicides. A law passed in New Jersey requires every gun shop to sell only smart guns three years after the technology is commercially available. 40% of the gun owners in United States are ready to adopt smart guns. Many new startups in United States have started focusing on development of smart guns again after the backlash the market received during 2014-2015 by gun right activists, National Rifle Association, retailers, and others. SAAR, a Switzerland based company is planning to start selling smart assault rifles equipped with user recognition technology to law enforcement agencies. The company aims to start selling the gun from second half of 2020. Increasing use of RFID and fingerprint recognition technology is fueling the market growth for smart guns. Such developments are expected to help the growth of the market in the years to come.

North America to Remain Dominant During the Forecast Period

North America is currently the largest market for rifles and shotguns and the region is also expected to continue its dominance in the market by growing with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Most of the demand for rifles is from the US military. During the forecast period, the US Army plans to buy a mix of more than 120,000 new light machine guns and rifles, built around new ammunition, to replace both the M4 carbine and M249 Squad Automatic Weapon for its soldiers. The Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program was designed to replace the standard rifle and squad machine gun for close-combat units such as infantry, scouts and combat engineers in the Army. In this regard, three contractors Sig Sauer, General Dynamics-OTS and Textron Systems were selected in 2019. The contractors are expected to deliver 28 prototype automatic rifles and 38 prototype rifles along with 660,000 rounds of ammunition for testing and evaluation by the end of 2021. Also, in March 2020, Heckler & Koch was awarded a USD 33,5 million U.S. Army contract modification for new sniper rifles. The modification contract was related to a previous contract or Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper Systems (CSASS) and the Squad Designated Marksman Rifle. The contract had an estimated completion date of March 16, 2022. In addition to military procurement, incidents such as mass shootings have propelled the market for civilian and homeland security procurements of rifles and their ammunition in the region.
