The Global Light Weapons Market is estimated to grow from US$ 16.80 Billion - US$ 19.40 Billion in 2025 to US$ 29.60 Billion - US$ 35.20 Billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 5.8% - 6.9% from 2025 to 2035. The market is experiencing steady expansion due to rising geopolitical tensions, increasing military modernization programs, growing border security concerns, and rising investments in law enforcement capabilities worldwide. Light weapons, including assault rifles, machine guns, pistols, carbines, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers, remain essential components of modern infantry operations and tactical defense systems. The integration of artificial intelligence-enabled targeting systems, IoT-connected soldier modernization platforms, smart optics, and advanced fire-control technologies is reshaping the operational capabilities of next-generation light weapons. Governments across major economies are prioritizing advanced combat readiness, digital battlefield integration, and autonomous defense technologies, further accelerating market growth globally.
