Pyrotechnic Munitions Market Drivers and Opportunities

Collaboration of Companies with Defense Forces for Live Training Simulation

The military forces worldwide train their personnel to keep their forces trained at all times. The demand for military training engages various types of military operations involving a lot of pyrotechnic munitions to create a live simulation environment. The pyrotechnic munition companies collaborate with military forces to supply an adequate volume of pyrotechnic munitions for the military’s live simulation training exercises. This has led to an increase in the adoption of live pyrotechnic munitions, such as illumination signal rounds, markers, and smoke grenades. For instance, in April 2021, the US army conducted a live training in Pulaski Country (Arkansas) wherein two Boeing Chinook Helicopters carried out the military cadets for a 4-day exercise. Under this operation, colored smoke canisters, illumination fire rounds, and other types of pyrotechnic munitions were used.

Growing Fleet of Naval Vessels and Aircraft Carriers Worldwide

The increasing fleet of naval fleet across different countries is one of the major factors likely to generate new opportunities for market vendors in the coming years. The rising fleet of naval and aircraft carrier vessels operates continuously across the country’s borders. Every aircraft carrier ship includes either 254 units of MK7 life rafts or 127 units of MK 8 life rafts. Each lifeboat comprises 6 hand flares, 4 units of rocket parachute flares, and 2 units of buoyant smoke signals. Hence, the lifeboats in naval ships or vessels is also likely to boost the adoption of pyrotechnic munitions across the naval forces in the coming years. Further, some of the countries have also been investing in large amounts for the procurement of different types of naval ships which is likely to boost the demand for pyrotechnic munitions in the coming years.
