全球小型武器和轻武器市场(2024-2034)Global Small Arms and Light Weapons Market 2024-2034 |
2024年全球小型武器和轻武器市场预计为371.2亿美元,预计到2034年将成长至487.4亿美元,预测期间(2024-2034年)年均成长率(CAGR)为2.76%。
小型武器和轻武器 (SALW) 是一类广泛的便携式枪支,包括手枪、步枪、霰弹枪和机关鎗。它的简单性、经济性和易于隐藏性使其非常容易获得并被广泛使用,无论是合法的还是非法的。小型武器虽然对于自卫和执法至关重要,但在武装衝突、恐怖主义和组织犯罪中也很有用。小型武器的全球扩散对安全、人权和发展构成严重威胁。这种影响在受衝突影响的地区尤其严重,助长暴力、阻碍和平建设并破坏人道主义努力。
儘管小型武器和轻武器(SALW)通常被认为是技术含量相对较低的武器,但它也受益于技术进步。主要发展之一是材料方面。聚合物和复合材料等先进材料的使用促进了更轻、更耐用、耐腐蚀的枪支的发展。弹药设计的改进,包括增强制动力和减少后座力,进一步提高了轻小武器的有效性。注重人体工学、模组化和准确性的枪械设计创新大大提高了小型武器的可用性和性能。消音器技术的进步减少了枪支的声学特征,使它们更安静、更隐密。此外,还开发了防弹背心和头盔系统等技术,作为减轻轻武器火力影响的对策,增强战斗情况下的个人保护。然而,值得注意的是,虽然技术提高了小型武器的能力,但也促进了其扩散和滥用。
有几个因素促使了小型武器和轻武器(SALW)的国际扩散。关键因素之一是衝突和不稳定。受武装衝突影响的地区往往治理薄弱、边界模糊、法律和秩序崩溃,所有这些都促进了小型武器的扩散。组织犯罪在这些武器的贩运中也发挥着重要作用,犯罪网络往往与贩毒、人口贩运和其他非法活动有关。恐怖主义也是一个因素,恐怖组织利用小型武器进行攻击和恐吓民众。有关枪支销售和拥有的监管薄弱使得这些武器更容易获得和滥用。最后,枪支的非法製造通常发生在秘密工坊中,这破坏了管制小型武器分销和使用的努力,并使问题更加恶化。
小型武器和轻武器 (SALW) 的影响因地区而异。小型武器对非洲大陆的影响重大,许多国家都经历着武装衝突和严重的枪支暴力。中东地区安全情势复杂,小型武器在衝突和恐怖主义中扮演重要角色。在拉丁美洲,与毒品有关的暴力和组织犯罪正在推动许多国家小型武器和轻武器的扩散。
儘管欧洲总体上比其他地区受到更严格的监管,但它也不能免受小型武器问题的影响,并面临与非法人口贩运和恐怖主义有关的课题。亚洲的情况好坏参半,有些国家面临重大小型武器课题,而有些国家则实施了有效的监管措施。应对小型武器问题的全球课题需要采取多方面的方法,包括解除武装、復员和重返社会方案、改善边境管制、国际合作和社区为基础的暴力预防措施。
联邦政府已授予昆士兰公司 NIOA 一份价值数百万美元的合同,开始为澳洲国防军采购和供应下一代小型武器(ADF)。该合约是向澳洲士兵、水手和飞行员提供更多致命武器系统的 5 亿美元承诺的一部分。澳洲国防军将透过各个分包商从 NIOA 获得新型狙击步枪、手枪、霰弹枪、个人防卫武器、战斗刀具和突击破片系统。NIOA将成为该合约的主承包商,并将与国内外供应商和武器製造商合作,提供采购、整合、交付和持续支援。
巴西陆军已收到首批 50 支新型 7.62 毫米 IA2 突击步枪。这些武器是巴西陆军根据 "获得全面作战能力" 战略计画购买的,由国有公司Imbel製造。陆军评估中心已收到第一批7.62毫米IA2进行技术和操作测试。一旦获得批准,该工厂将开始生产新一批1,450支7.62毫米步枪。IA2 是根据去中心化绩效条款 (Termo de Execuco Descentralizada-TED) 合约购买的,巴西政府机构、公司和国有企业使用该合约来实施联合专案。
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.
