The global small arms market is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. One of the major factors that are fueling the market is the rising usability of small arms in the armed forces in the nations. Small arms are handy, light-weighted, easy to carry, and quick to use which makes them desirable for most defense professionals and civilians.

For instance, in January 2022, the Indian Armed Forces announced that they have received the first batch of 70,000 rifles from Russia as part of a larger contract to procure and manufacture the AK 203 assault rifles.
The global small arms market is segmented based on the type and end-user. Based on the type, the market is segmented into handguns, shotguns, machine guns, and rifles. Based on the end-user, the market is sub-segmented into civil & commercial, and defense.
