Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vrrsgq/global_ammunition) has announced the addition of the "Global Ammunition Market to 2016" report to their offering.

One of the major drivers in this market is the increase in the global defense budget. With the increase in the global defense budget the demand for ammunition is also expected to increase.

The Global Defense industry is investing extensively in R&D activities. This has resulted in the development of technologies that can help augment the endurance and survivability of army weapons in hard atmospheric conditions. As a result of emerging technologies and changing environments, DODs of different countries are investing in new and improved ammunition. For instance, there is a rise in the demand for guns that require low maintenance and do not become heated up. Therefore, with the increase in R&D, the demand for the advanced ammunition is also increasing.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the increase in the prices of raw materials. The rise in the raw material prices has resulted in pricing pressure for ammunition manufacturers and they are forced to pass on the increased cost to the customers.

The key vendors dominating this market space are:

  • Alliant Techsystems Inc.
  • BAE Systems plc
  • General Dynamics Corp.
  • Nexter Group.
