Description
The Global Mortar Ammunition Market was valued at US$ XX Mn in 2016 and is expected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2022 growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. A mortar is a device that can launch projectiles at short ranges and low velocities. It propels explosive shells into high-arching ballistic trajectories. The weapon is loaded with a short, often smooth-bore barrel, generally less than 15 times its caliber. Modern mortars are light and easily portable. Ammunition for mortars generally comes in two main varieties: fin-stabilized and spin-stabilized. Fin-stabilized mortars have short fins on their posterior portion, which control the path of the bomb in flight. Spin-stabilized mortar bombs rotate as they leave the mortar tube, which stabilizes them in the same way as a rifle bullet. Both types of rounds can be either illuminative, smoke, and high explosive.
Market Dynamics
Increase in threats from Terrorist Organizations and Obsolete and Ageing Equipment of some Countries are the primary drivers of global mortar ammunition market. Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America have been prone to violence and terrorist attacks but in recent times, the threat of terrorism has spread rapidly to Europe and North America and the major party responsible for this has been the Islamic State which has replaced the Al-Qaeda as the number one global terrorist organization.Thus, there will be additional spending on Mortar Guns by European countries to better defend themselves against such threats.
Market Segmentation
Global ammunition market is segmented based on application (defense, commercial and civil), caliber (small caliber ammunition, medium caliber ammunition, large caliber ammunition, artillery ammunition, and mortar ammunition), type (cartridge-based and non-cartridge based), and cartridge type (rimfire and centerfire).
Regional/Geographic Analysis
There will be additional spending on Mortar in European countries to better defend themselves against terrorist threats. Asia Pacific region is expected to do a comprehensive modernization of its armed forces and will boost the Global MortarAmmunition market. Low demand is expected in North America due to large cuts in the defense budget. But the Asia Pacific region will see the highest rates of growth and the rest of the world will drive the growth in the Global Mortar Ammunition Market.
