“Military expenditures by major countries have been witnessing an uptick since the past few years, leading to increasing procurement of armaments and conventional weapon systems by major powers in North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Middle East. We are likely to see significant investment on ammunition for these newly acquired weapons in coming years.
