The global ammunition market derives its demand from the rising concern regarding the increasing crime rate around the world. The industry has entered a new phase of development after years of maturity. The increased responsibilities of federal, state level, and local bodies for prevention of terror attacks and the response attentiveness are the key reasons contributing to this growth. The resurgence of demand from the military and the civilian sectors is expected to aid the development in the global ammunition industry in the near future.
