Market Insights

Small arms and light weapons (SALW) are the most preferred choice of weapons for the law enforcement bodies. The portability and size factor of these weapons make them suitable for use in most of the common crime scenarios. Several countries across the world have taken initiatives to modernize their weapons and in this case SALW?s are no exception. With the rising instances of violence and criminal offences, SALW?s are increasingly being adopted by different law enforcement and civil safety bodies.

The SALW?s market is majorly driven by defense modernization and law enforcement modernization programs. Security agencies in developed countries are constantly in the hunt to adopt the latest weapons in order to improve security. Moreover, rising instances of illegal activities in urban areas has also impacted the growth of the SALW?s market positively. Small arms, due to their small size, are suitable for use in urban warfare. Rising terrorist activities is another prominent factor leading to the increasing adoption of SALW?s across various countries. These factors in combination are expected to continue driving the SALW?s market growth during the forecast period.

However, various countries across the world have enforced stringent firearm legislations, which makes it difficult for the common man to own it. For example, according to The Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules 1962 (India), the sale, acquisition, possession, manufacture, import, export, and transport of firearms and ammunition is prohibited unless under a license. This makes it difficult for common people to possess weapons for their safety, thereby limiting the consumer base. This forms one of the major restraints for the SALW?s market growth.

The overall SALW?s market is categorized on the basis of product type and application. Based on the product types, the market is classified into small arms and light weapons, wherein each of the two is further categorized into sub segments. The small arms segment comprises of rifles, pistols, shotguns, handguns and others. The light weapons segment has been segmented into grenade launchers, landmines, rocket launchers, mortars, anti-tank weapons, rocket propelled grenades and others.  The market is categorized, based on application, into military, law enforcement and others. The others segment includes sports, security guards, bodyguards and civilians.

Key Trends

  • Continuous R&D activities to improve the efficiency and also to upgrade the existing weapons
  • Increasing trend for 3D printed guns and corner shot rifles
  • Developing countries are increasingly adopting SALW?s

Small Arms and Light Weapons: Controlling the Real Instruments of War?

One of the dominant features of the global community in the 1990s has been the violent breakdown of civil society in dozens of countries throughout the world. From the socialist states of the former Soviet bloc to Africa and Asia, we have witnessed the outbreak of ethnic, religious, racial, linguistic and other forms of communal strife and the melting away of social norms and government structures that would otherwise contain the violence. Adding to the disorder, in many instances, has been a significant upsurge in armed banditry and criminal violence.

The importance of this "failed state syndrome" during this decade can hardly be overstated. The very nature of conflict has been transformed?from traditional combat between nation-states to inter-communal conflict within states. Such strife typically involves a wide variety of actors, including governments, rebel movements, armed political militias, ethnic and religious groups, tribes and clans, expatriate and diaspora groups, criminal gangs and mercenaries. Common distinguishing characteristics of this type of intra-state conflict include multiple warring parties, blurred lines of conflict, greater involvement of civilians, and the fact that the conflict itself is not fought on traditional battlegrounds but in local communities; indeed, within society itself. Also characteristic of these conflicts is the presence among the warring parties of irregular and paramilitary forces with little or no formal military training and few compunctions about violating the rules of war. All too often, it is children and teenagers who are recruited or forced into these organizations and then made to kill, loot and rampage.

Another defining characteristic of such conflict is the fact that widespread death and suffering result not from the major conventional weapons traditionally associated with war?tanks, aircraft and warships, for example?but from small arms and light weapons. The global proliferation of assault rifles, machine guns, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and other "man-portable" weapons has increased both the frequency and intensity of modern conflict and greatly complicated the task of restoring peace. Such weapons are readily obtainable on international markets, both legal and illicit, and are easily mastered by untrained and unprofessional soldiers, even children. Of the 49 major conflicts that have broken out since 1990, light weapons were the only arms used in 46; only one conflict (the 1991 Gulf War) was dominated by heavy weapons.  [Ref: armscontrol.org]
