Dublin, Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Ammunition Boxes Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. The report offers comprehensive insights, including industry size, regional shares, and strategic recommendations.
The ammunition boxes market has experienced substantial growth and is poised for continued expansion. Valued at $2.13 billion in 2025, the market is forecasted to reach $2.25 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of 5.6%. This growth is driven by the widespread use of metal and plastic boxes for secure storage, waterproof ammo cans for environmental protection, and lockable storage solutions for enhanced safety. Additional factors include the demand for bulk storage in military operations and foam-padded boxes to prevent damage during transport.
Looking ahead, the market size is projected to grow to $2.79 billion by 2030, maintaining a CAGR of 5.5%. Key drivers include rising demand for lightweight, corrosion-resistant boxes, the expansion of modular and stackable solutions, and the adoption of smart, sensor-enabled storage for inventory tracking. Additionally, defense and law enforcement sectors are increasing procurement, while customizable and durable containers are becoming more prevalent to meet various operational needs.
The escalating interest in shooting sports also fuels market growth. This interest is evident as the popularity of shooting ranges increases, making the sport accessible to a broader audience. Ammunition boxes are essential for secure and organized storage, facilitating safe transport to ranges. For instance, the National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc. reported in January 2024 that target shooting remains highly popular, with newcomers comprising nearly 19% of participants. Consequently, the demand for these boxes is on the rise.
Leading manufacturers are focusing on sustainability by developing recyclable, lightweight plastic boxes. In February 2023, Tawazun Industrial Park introduced an eco-friendly ammunition box made from recyclable materials, designed to maintain compatibility with standard metal boxes while reducing noise for improved operational safety.
In M&A activity, Platinum Equity LLC acquired Pelican Products Inc. in January 2023, aiming to bolster innovation, operational efficiency, and strategic growth. Pelican Products is renowned for manufacturing durable, watertight protective packaging, including ammunition boxes.
