Global Riflescopes Market to reach USD 8 billion by 2027.Global Riflescopes Market is valued approximately at USD 5.7 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5% over the forecast period 2021-2027. The riflescope is a telescopic vision attached to the weapon's topmost part that aids in improving aim by pointing and magnifying a target. It is primarily utilized by the military, as well as hunting and shooting sports. Various sophisticated capabilities are being added to riflescopes to make it easier to aim and shoot. Actual shooting is being made to resemble a computer game using new technologies. Night-vision and infrared imaging lenses are also being included into riflescopes by manufacturers. There are several different types of riflescopes on the market. The market is driven by key factors such as advancements in riflescope technology for precision attack and increasing demand for riflescopes for hunting and shooting sports. For instance, SIG Sauer (Germany) and the US Department of Defense (DOD) signed a contract in January 2019 to provide the US Special Operations Forces (SOF) with a new riflescope and gun mount, the Electro-Optics Tango6T 1-624 Second Focal Plane (SFP) Riflescope and Alpha4 Ultralight Mount. For the next five years, the deal will cost the US Department of Defense USD 12 million per year. Furthermore, Nikon launched a new flagship hunting riflescope, the Monarch riflescope, in September 2019, which is a long-range type riflescope that is excellent for hunting and sporting activities. Manufacturers are incorporating technology including GPS geotagging, enhanced magnification, and ultra-HD magnification, as well as networking capabilities including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, into riflescopes for connectivity with other gadgets such as smart goggles for better accuracy, for military applications. However, high cost of riflescopes may impede market growth over the forecast period of 2021-2027.
