According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the global trade in weapons and military equipment reached US$631.9 billion in 2023.

Based on constant price calculations, this represents a 4% increase compared to 2022 and marks the third highest record in the last two decades.

However, SIPRI only compiled this data from the 100 largest arms companies, so it does not fully reflect the level of global arms demand.

SIPRI assesses that the increase in arms sales in 2023 was influenced by numerous conflicts and tensions between countries.

"The increase in arms sales was seen in all regions, particularly among companies based in Russia and the Middle East," SIPRI stated in a press release on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.

"Generally, smaller-scale producers were more efficient in responding to the demand for weapons related to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, increased tensions in East Asia, and arms procurement programs elsewhere," they said.

SIPRI also predicts that the global arms sales trend will continue to rise this year.

"There was a sharp increase in arms sales in 2023, and this is likely to continue in 2024," said SIPRI researcher Lorenzo Scarazzato in a press release.

"Many arms companies have opened recruitment programs, indicating that they are optimistic about future sales," he continued.
