Rising Terrorism as a Catalyst for Market Demand
One of the key drivers propelling the demand for 155mm ammunition is the increase in terrorist activities worldwide. Terrorism, characterized by acts intended to instill fear and cause harm for political, ideological, or social motives, has surged due to geopolitical tensions, extremist beliefs, and the use of asymmetric warfare tactics targeting civilians and critical infrastructure. The capability of 155mm rounds to destroy terrorist strongholds makes them vital for security forces combating such threats. For example, in January 2025, data from a Belgium-based government agency under the European Union revealed that terrorist attacks in the EU surged from 28 incidents in 2022 to 120 in 2023, illustrating the growing security challenges driving ammunition demand.
Asia-Pacific Holds Dominance and Poised for Rapid Growth
In 2025, Asia-Pacific emerged as the largest regional market for 155mm ammunition and is expected to maintain the fastest growth rate in the forecast period. The market analysis encompasses other key regions including South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, providing a comprehensive global perspective.
