In 2023, the ammunition market was estimated to be worth USD 23,469.05 million. According to projections, the ammunition market industry would expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.16% from USD 24,462.11 million in 2024 to USD 33,887.62 million by 2032. Because of the increasing number of armed conflicts and border disputes worldwide, the ammunition market is continuously expanding. Additionally, throughout the course of the forecast year, the modernization of law enforcement and military organizations is anticipated to propel the region's market.
To meet demands that have begun to increase quickly due to ongoing international wars, the U.S. Army is increasing the stakes on military modernization, particularly in the development of artillery. The service is now working up to 70-80,000 shells each month by early 2025, with the goal of reaching a rate of 100,000 155 mm shells per month by that time. This increase in output is intended to support Ukraine's defense against Russia, but it also serves to restock American and NATO stockpiles. The company is spending money on production technologies. It focuses on robotics that could generate the higher quality and efficiency that the investment is intended to achieve. It is valued at $500 and is reportedly altering the production methods at artillery plants in Texas, shifting the workforce toward more technical positions rather than employment cuts. The Scranton Army Ammunition Plant can now produce 36,000 rounds per month instead of just 24,000, and there is also the possibility of adding more production lines. Since 2022, the United States has sent more than 3 million 155-millimeter rounds to Ukraine.
