全球小型武器和輕武器市場(2024-2034)Global Small Arms and Light Weapons Market 2024-2034 |
2024年全球小型武器和輕武器市場預計為371.2億美元,預計到2034年將成長至487.4億美元,預測期間(2024-2034年)年均成長率(CAGR)為2.76%。
小型武器和輕武器 (SALW) 是一類廣泛的便攜式槍支,包括手槍、步槍、霰彈槍和機關鎗。它的簡單性、經濟性和易於隱藏性使其非常容易獲得並被廣泛使用,無論是合法的還是非法的。小型武器雖然對於自衛和執法至關重要,但在武裝衝突、恐怖主義和組織犯罪中也很有用。小型武器的全球擴散對安全、人權和發展構成嚴重威脅。這種影響在受衝突影響的地區尤其嚴重,助長暴力、阻礙和平建設並破壞人道主義努力。
儘管小型武器和輕武器(SALW)通常被認為是技術含量相對較低的武器,但它也受益於技術進步。主要發展之一是材料方面。聚合物和複合材料等先進材料的使用促進了更輕、更耐用、耐腐蝕的槍支的發展。彈藥設計的改進,包括增強制動力和減少後座力,進一步提高了輕小武器的有效性。注重人體工學、模組化和準確性的槍械設計創新大大提高了小型武器的可用性和性能。消音器技術的進步減少了槍支的聲學特徵,使它們更安靜、更隱密。此外,還開發了防彈背心和頭盔系統等技術,作為減輕輕武器火力影響的對策,增強戰鬥情況下的個人保護。然而,值得注意的是,雖然技術提高了小型武器的能力,但也促進了其擴散和濫用。
有幾個因素促使了小型武器和輕武器(SALW)的國際擴散。關鍵因素之一是衝突和不穩定。受武裝衝突影響的地區往往治理薄弱、邊界模糊、法律和秩序崩潰,所有這些都促進了小型武器的擴散。組織犯罪在這些武器的販運中也發揮著重要作用,犯罪網絡往往與販毒、人口販運和其他非法活動有關。恐怖主義也是一個因素,恐怖組織利用小型武器進行攻擊和恐嚇民眾。有關槍支銷售和擁有的監管薄弱使得這些武器更容易獲得和濫用。最後,槍支的非法製造通常發生在秘密工坊中,這破壞了管制小型武器分銷和使用的努力,並使問題更加惡化。
小型武器和輕武器 (SALW) 的影響因地區而異。小型武器對非洲大陸的影響重大,許多國家都經歷著武裝衝突和嚴重的槍支暴力。中東地區安全情勢複雜,小型武器在衝突和恐怖主義中扮演重要角色。在拉丁美洲,與毒品有關的暴力和組織犯罪正在推動許多國家小型武器和輕武器的擴散。
儘管歐洲總體上比其他地區受到更嚴格的監管,但它也不能免受小型武器問題的影響,並面臨與非法人口販運和恐怖主義有關的課題。亞洲的情況好壞參半,有些國家面臨重大小型武器課題,而有些國家則實施了有效的監管措施。應對小型武器問題的全球課題需要採取多方面的方法,包括解除武裝、復員和重返社會方案、改善邊境管制、國際合作和社區為基礎的暴力預防措施。
聯邦政府已授予昆士蘭公司 NIOA 一份價值數百萬美元的合同,開始為澳洲國防軍採購和供應下一代小型武器(ADF)。該合約是向澳洲士兵、水手和飛行員提供更多致命武器系統的 5 億美元承諾的一部分。澳洲國防軍將透過各個分包商從 NIOA 獲得新型狙擊步槍、手槍、霰彈槍、個人防衛武器、戰鬥刀具和突擊破片系統。NIOA將成為該合約的主承包商,並將與國內外供應商和武器製造商合作,提供採購、整合、交付和持續支援。
巴西陸軍已收到首批 50 支新型 7.62 毫米 IA2 突擊步槍。這些武器是巴西陸軍根據 "獲得全面作戰能力" 戰略計畫購買的,由國有公司Imbel製造。陸軍評估中心已收到第一批7.62毫米IA2進行技術和操作測試。一旦獲得批准,該工廠將開始生產新一批1,450支7.62毫米步槍。IA2 是根據去中心化績效條款 (Termo de Execuco Descentralizada-TED) 合約購買的,巴西政府機構、公司和國有企業使用該合約來實施聯合專案。
The global Small Arms and Light weapons market is estimated at USD 37.12 billion in 2024, projected to grow to USD 48.74 billion by 2034 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.76% over the forecast period 2024-2034.
Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) are a broad category of portable firearms, including pistols, rifles, shotguns, and machine guns. Their simplicity, affordability, and ease of concealment make them highly accessible and widely used, both legally and illegally. While essential for self-defense and law enforcement, SALW have also been instrumental in armed conflicts, terrorism, and organized crime. The global proliferation of SALW poses a significant threat to security, human rights, and development. Their impact is particularly devastating in regions affected by conflict, where they fuel violence, hinder peace building, and impede humanitarian efforts.
While often perceived as relatively low-tech weapons, small arms and light weapons (SALW) have also benefited from technological advancements. One key development is in materials: the use of advanced materials such as polymers and composites has led to lighter, more durable, and corrosion-resistant firearms. Improved ammunition design, including enhanced stopping power and reduced recoil, has further increased the effectiveness of SALW. Innovations in firearms design, focusing on ergonomics, modularity, and accuracy, have significantly improved the usability and performance of small arms. Advancements in suppressor technology have reduced the acoustic signature of firearms, making them quieter and more discreet. Additionally, technologies such as ballistic vests and helmet systems have been developed as counter-measures to mitigate the effects of small arms fire, enhancing protection for individuals in combat situations. However, it's important to note that while technology has improved the capabilities of SALW, it has also contributed to their proliferation and misuse.
Several factors contribute to the global prevalence of small arms and light weapons (SALW). One significant factor is conflict and instability. Areas affected by armed conflict often experience weak governance, porous borders, and a breakdown of law and order, all of which facilitate the proliferation of SALW. Organized crime also plays a crucial role in the illicit trade of these weapons, with criminal networks often linked to drug trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activities. Terrorism is another factor, as terrorist groups rely on SALW for carrying out attacks and intimidating populations. Weak gun control laws further contribute to the spread of SALW, as lax regulations on the sale and ownership of firearms make it easier for these weapons to be acquired and misused. Lastly, illegal manufacturing of firearms, often taking place in clandestine workshops, undermines efforts to control the distribution and use of SALW, exacerbating the problem.
The impact of small arms and light weapons (SALW) varies significantly across different regions. In Africa, the continent is heavily affected by SALW, with many countries experiencing armed conflicts and high levels of gun violence. The Middle East has a complex security landscape, with SALW playing a crucial role in conflicts and terrorism. In Latin America, drug-related violence and organized crime have driven the proliferation of SALW in many countries.
While Europe is generally more regulated than other regions, it is not immune to the problem of SALW, facing issues related to illegal trafficking and terrorism. Asia presents a mixed picture, with some countries facing significant challenges related to SALW, while others have implemented effective control measures. Addressing the global challenge of SALW requires a multifaceted approach, including disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration programs, improved border control, international cooperation, and community-based violence prevention initiatives.

The Federal Government has inked a multi-million dollar arrangement with the Queensland business NIOA to begin acquiring and supplying the Australian Defence Force with the next generation of small guns (ADF). The contract is part of a $500 million promise to supply greater lethality weapon systems to Australia's soldiers, sailors, and aviators. The ADF will receive new sniper rifles, handguns, shotguns, personal defence weapons, fighting knives, and an assault breaching system from NIOA through a variety of subcontractors. NIOA will be the prime contractor under the contract, working with local and international suppliers and weapon manufacturers on the purchase, integration, delivery, and ongoing support.
The Brazilian Army has received an initial shipment of 50 new 7.62mm IA2 assault rifles. These weapons were purchased by the Brazilian Army under the 'Obtaining Full Operational Capacity' strategic programme, which was manufactured by state-owned Imbel. The Army Assessment Centre will receive the first batch of 7.62mm IA2s for technical and operational tests. The factory will begin production of a new batch of 1,450 7.62mm rifles after gaining approval. The IA2s were purchased under a Decentralised Performance Term (Termo de Execuco Descentralizada - TED) contract, which is utilised by Brazilian government organisations and enterprises, as well as state-owned businesses, to carry out joint programmes.
