Dublin, Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Medium & Large Calibre Military Ammunition - Market and Technology Forecast to 2033" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global ammunition market is being reshaped by the ongoing war in Ukraine and the crucial need for increased production. With heightened consumption, many Western countries have found themselves unprepared for high-intensity conflict against peer adversaries. Especially alarming is the shortfall in European stockpiles, which fail to meet NATO's 30-day minimum requirement. Consequently, governments are updating their strategies to ensure they are better equipped for sustained conflicts by maintaining larger reserves.
This situation has highlighted deficiencies in both stockpiles and production capacities, as defense production had been downscaled to suit peacetime needs in recent decades. The war has shifted priorities, intensifying demand for greater production capacity and resilience. Ammunition manufacturers face pressure to quickly enhance production, a process that often demands one to three years to set up new lines. Interim strategies include acquiring underutilized facilities and investing in stronger supply chains and smaller suppliers.
While the demand surge is expected to persist in the medium to long term, uncertainties remain about the market's direction post-Ukraine war. Industry leaders should consider adopting sustainable production practices, balancing immediate needs with long-term stability. Competition is set to increase, especially in a fragmented European market where nations are pursuing greater autonomy in ammunition production. This raises concerns about potential overcapacity and competitiveness issues in the future.
Adding complexity are global trade tensions and tariffs impacting supply chains, raising costs, and posing economic stability threats. The U.S., being a global economic leader, influences this dynamic significantly, and upcoming tariffs slated for mid-2025 are expected to have widespread effects, especially across Europe. These challenges underscore how geopolitical and economic policies are collaboratively redefining the global ammunition market.
