List of Tables

The Global 40mm market is estimated at USD 1.65 billion in 2025, projected to grow to USD 2.75 billion by 2035 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.24% over the forecast period 2025-2035.

Introduction to 40mm Market:

The 40mm caliber plays a vital role in modern military operations due to its widespread use in grenade launchers, automatic grenade systems, and vehicle-mounted weapons. Designed primarily for anti-personnel and area denial purposes, the 40mm round provides troops with a powerful yet portable solution for engaging enemies behind cover or within fortified positions. It is available in various configurations, including low-velocity rounds for handheld launchers and high-velocity types for automatic systems. Its versatility has made it a mainstay in armed forces around the world, supporting both offensive maneuvers and defensive tactics. As military engagements increasingly take place in complex urban and asymmetric environments, the demand for scalable, suppressive fire solutions like the 40mm continues to grow. This caliber not only delivers substantial tactical advantages but also complements a wide array of operational platforms, making it a critical asset in the global defense inventory.

Technology Impact in 40mm Market:

Advancements in munitions and delivery systems have significantly elevated the effectiveness of the 40mm caliber. Smart grenade technology now enables airburst capabilities, allowing for precision engagement of targets hidden behind obstacles or entrenched positions. Enhanced explosive compositions and fuse mechanisms have improved lethality and reduced the risk of dud rounds, increasing overall battlefield reliability. Digital fire control systems and integrated targeting modules further enhance the accuracy and ease of use for dismounted soldiers and vehicle crews alike. Materials innovation has led to lighter weapon systems that maintain durability under extreme operational conditions. In addition, the development of non-lethal variants, including tear gas and rubber baton rounds, expands the 40mm's utility in crowd control and peacekeeping missions. These technological improvements ensure that 40mm systems remain relevant and effective across a broad spectrum of military and security operations, adapting smoothly to the changing demands of modern warfare.

Key Drivers in 40mm market:

The sustained relevance of 40mm weapon systems is driven by their adaptability, effectiveness, and broad mission compatibility. The shift toward irregular warfare and urban combat environments has created a strong demand for weapons capable of delivering indirect firepower without causing extensive collateral damage. The 40mm excels in these scenarios, offering controllable force with scalable impact. Military modernization programs across the globe often prioritize munitions that can fulfill multiple roles, and the 40mm's modularity allows it to be tailored to mission-specific requirements. Its use in both lethal and non-lethal forms broadens its appeal to armed forces, police units, and paramilitary groups alike. Additionally, the growing need for mobile, lightweight systems that can support rapid-response and special operations has reinforced the 40mm's place in infantry and vehicle armament. Its relatively low cost compared to larger caliber systems, combined with continual improvements in performance, ensures it remains a favored choice for contemporary and future combat needs.

Regional Trends in 40mm Market:

The adoption and application of 40mm systems show distinct patterns across global regions, shaped by each area's security landscape and defense strategy. In North America, extensive use of the 40mm by military and law enforcement is supported by consistent innovation and integration into tactical doctrine. European forces emphasize interoperability and crowd-control capabilities, utilizing both lethal and non-lethal 40mm rounds in peacekeeping and domestic security roles. The Asia-Pacific region, facing diverse security challenges, has accelerated investment in 40mm technologies, particularly for jungle and urban warfare scenarios. In the Middle East, the caliber sees wide deployment due to its utility in both conventional warfare and counter-insurgency operations. African and Latin American nations are increasingly turning to 40mm systems as cost-effective solutions for internal security and border control, often incorporating them into broader modernization efforts. These regional trends reflect how the 40mm adapts to local conditions, reinforcing its status as a critical tool in global defense arsenals.

Key Defense 40mm Program:

Rheinmetall has secured contracts with two European NATO customers to supply 40mm ammunition to their armed forces, with the combined value of these agreements exceeding €30 million. One European NATO customer entered into a framework contract with Rheinmetall to procure up to 300,000 rounds of 40mm ammunition, including both low velocity (LV) and high velocity (HV) variants. Under this contract, an initial order of approximately 75,000 cartridges has already been placed. Additionally, under a separate agreement, the same customer is scheduled to receive around 45,000 programmable 40mm x 53 HV HE-T ABM (High Velocity High Explosive-Tracer Airburst Munition) rounds during the first half of 2024.
