The United Kingdom ammunition market size reached USD 881.60 Million in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.98% between 2025 and 2034, reaching USD 1.18 billion by 2034.
The United Kingdom ammunition market growth is bolstered by a larger calibre due to its substantial impact energy upon hitting the target
Large calibre is highly effective in armed forces use, and sizable games and proves to be very effective for hunting due to its stopping power. Few of the large calibres such as .50 BMG excels in shooting at extremely long range. They are ideal for military and law enforcement as they are capable of penetrating through heavy barriers.
Rockets and missiles offer long-range accuracy which is exceptionally critical for military operations. Their adaptable weapons, from high explosives to anti-tank arsenal adapt to war situations. They are efficient towards aircraft and reinforced targets, improving military efficacy. They provide power and discourage probable dangers in military and civilian security.
In May 2023, Germany and the United Kingdom announced a pioneering agreement to join forces on the next phase of the development of advanced armour-piercing tank ammunition. The Enhanced Kinetic Energy (EKE) round is poised to considerably improve the armies' potential against changing enemy threats. This advanced armour-piercing ammunition plays a crucial role in the defence strategies of both nations.
