Global Handgun Market is valued at approximately USD 3.12 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.6% during the forecast period 2023-2030. A handgun is a compact firearm designed to be held and operated with one hand. It typically features a shorter barrel compared to larger firearms such as rifles or shotguns, and it is commonly used for self-defense, law enforcement, military applications, and sport shooting. The Handgun Market is expanding because of factors such as growing technological advancements, a rise in crime and terrorism globally and growing demand from global militaries.

As geopolitical tensions persist and security concerns intensify in various regions around the world, governments, military forces, and law enforcement agencies increasingly prioritize the procurement of firearms, including handguns, to bolster defense capabilities and maintain law and order. Moreover, the surge in global arms trade reflects this heightened demand, driven by a multitude of factors such as geopolitical rivalries, territorial disputes, and counterterrorism efforts. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in 2023, there was a 47 %increase in the imports of major arms by European states between 2013–17 and 2018–22. During the same period, imports to East Asia and certain states in other areas of high geopolitical tension experienced significant rises. The United States’ share of global arms exports increased from 33 to 40%, while Russia’s decreased from 22% to 16%. Additionally, Ukraine emerged as the world’s third-largest importer of firearms in 2023, as reported by the same study. Furthermore, due to rising concerns about personal safety and security continuing to grow worldwide, civilians increasingly seek firearms for self-defense purposes and recreational shooting activities. This heightened demand reflects a broader societal trend towards individual empowerment and preparedness in the face of perceived threats, ranging from home invasions to instances of violent crime. However, stringent regulatory compliances stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.

The key regions considered for the Global Handgun Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to factors such as a high defense budget, an increasing number of households with firearms in the region, the presence of major suppliers of arms and weapons and a rise in overall military personnel present in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period, owing to factors such as growth in cross-border conflicts, increasing spending on defense infrastructure, and a rise in terrorism activities.
