Global Large Caliber Ammunition Market is valued at approximately USD 286.28 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8.27% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Large caliber ammunition refers to projectiles with diameters typically exceeding 20 millimeters, deployed in heavy weaponry such as artillery, tanks, naval guns, and large anti-aircraft systems. These munitions are crafted for maximum destructive impact and extended range, capable of penetrating armor, fortifications, and other robust targets. They include various types such as high-explosive, armor-piercing, and guided munitions, each tailored for specific combat scenarios. In modern military operations, large caliber ammunition provides significant firepower and tactical advantages on the battlefield.

Governments globally are investing heavily in weapons such as field artillery, mortars, and naval guns to fortify land and maritime border security, ensure civilian protection, and enhance the lethality of armed forces. These weapons offer a cost-effective solution compared to expensive missiles and rockets used in ground attack operations. These factors are driving the worldwide demand for large caliber ammunition. Moreover, technological advancements including high-speed projectile firing, laser guidance systems, and the rising need for friend or foe identification and precision targeting technology, are fueling market growth for GPS-enabled artillery and mortar shells. In addition, growing number of political disputes, terrorism, and cross-border conflicts have heightened the need for rapid deployment of forces, thereby escalating the demand for firepower support on the battlefield and driving market growth for large caliber ammunition. However, high cost of advanced ammunition systems is going to impede the overall demand for the market during the forecast period 2024-2032.
