According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Sniper Rifle Market is accounted for $2.82 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.36 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.53% during the forecast period. Sniper rifles are high-precision, long-range rifles that are used in both military and law enforcement applications. It is a portable shoulder-fired weapon system with a choice between a bolt action and semi-automatic action. It is fitted with a telescopic sight for extreme accuracy. It is used in civil applications, such as hunting. The primary function of sniper includes providing detailed surveillance from a concealed position, neutralizing high-value targets to reduce the enemy’s combat, and others. Enhanced application of sniper rifles in defensive and offensive applications boosts the demand for the global sniper rifle market.

According to the proposal request from the Indian Army, 212 rifles have been intended to be procured for the Indian Air Force, and 88 sniper rifles are likely to be acquired by the Indian Navy.



 

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increase in the defense budget

Many nations across the globe are increasing their defense budgets to reinforce the military strength of their nation. Rise in military budget upgrades the existing equipment range while replacing the obsolete warfare equipment. Growing security threats and increasing geopolitical issues across the borders are creating a need for the procurement of sniper rifles. Many nations are escalating their sniper squadrons while incorporating a wider application of sniper rifles in military applications which is driving the market demand.

Restraint:

Size and weight

Sniper rifles are very heavier. They have more parts to maintain, so there are more risks for failure. It’s not quick to point and fire. It’s not easy to maneuver with a rifle in tight spaces, as well. Attackers can disarm more easily if you’re holding a rifle because of the barrel size. All these factors are hindering the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements

Technology plays a vital role in strengthening the military base of any nation. Sniper rifles have witnessed advancements in terms of bullet loading, self-steering bullets and cutting edge technologies. Long-range precision rifles are used for commercial purposes as well. Up-gradation of existing military equipment and the procurement of advanced weapons is proliferating the demand for the global sniper rifle market.

Threat:

Slow rechambering

Rifles are the best choice when it comes to accuracy. But they are slow in rechambering. Sniper rifles have too many options. It is heavier and big in size. The accuracy rate that estimates how much the aim moves while reloading is comparatively slow. It makes huge destruction while in the time of war if they are not concentrated. These factors are hampering the growth of the market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 had a moderate effect on the sniper rifle market. The onset of the pandemic led to a decline in procurement orders for sniper rifles by various countries due to restrictions in trade and lockdown. Moreover, a decrease in the production of sniper rifles by various companies due to a reduction in the workforce led to manufacturers being unable to meet the production deadlines, leading to various manufacturers facing heavy losses.

The military segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The military segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its better surveillance. Sniper’s primary function in modern warfare is to provide detailed surveillance from a concealed position. It reduces the enemy's combat ability by neutralizing high-value targets. Its procurements can be attributed to the increasing defense expenditure and equipment from various armed forces. Many regions have been upgrading their military by procuring various advanced sniper rifles. Such advancements are expected to lead to the growth of sniper rifles for the military segment.

The beyond 1,000 meters segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The beyond 1,000 meters segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its long-range. The rifle allows hitting targets at over 1.5 km under any weather conditions without prior adjustments. Armed forces of several countries and rifle manufacturers are collaborating in developing advanced sniper rifles with increased range and accuracy. This rifle helps countries that are currently facing terrorism threats and tensions across its borders and fuelling the market growth.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to its military modernization programs and equipment modernization initiatives. This region has replaced their legacy M40A6 and Mk13 Mod 7 bolt-action sniper rifles with advanced Mk22 Mod 0. It has the most advanced sniper rifles. These advancements are expected to lead the sniper rifle market witnessing growth in the North American region during the forecast period.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing investments of emerging countries such as China and India to strengthen the military force. The rising need amongst the defense forces for advanced ammunitions is owing to an increase in joint agreements with the military organizations of the developing countries. These investments are fuelling the market growth in this region.
