Small Arms Market Industry Overview
The small arms market features a fragmented landscape, with numerous players holding significant market shares. Notable players include HSturm, Ruger & Co. Inc., Sig Sauer Inc., Heckler & Koch GmbH, Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta SpA, and FN HERSTAL.
Leading OEMs are prioritizing the development of durable, precise, and ergonomic products to attract new customers. For instance, in November 2022, Malaysia's Maruss Sdn Bhd and Indonesia's PT Pindad inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for arms manufacturing. This collaboration aimed to explore opportunities, such as contract manufacturing for small arms and their components. PT Pindad was also set to provide ammunition of a different caliber.
Given that most market contracts involve substantial volumes, companies stand to gain higher revenues per contract. However, this comes amid fierce competition as more countries bolster their local small arms production, hinting at heightened market rivalry in the future.
