THE IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a multifaceted impact on global economies. The global manufacturing of optical lenses, sensors, and components, as well as their assembly lines, has suffered moderately.

The supply of riflescopes for military usages is critical however, because these instruments are not replaced or changed on a regular basis due to their increasing durability, the market for them is not adversely affected. Resuming riflescope manufacturing and deliveries is dependent on a country's level of COVID-19 exposure, the level at which manufacturing operations are running, import-export regulations, and other factors. Although businesses may still accept orders, delivery schedules may not be fixed. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on various market sectors. It faced difficult situations as a result of significant revenue losses. However, the pandemic period had a moderate impact on the Riflescope Market because riflescopes were critical in military forces. Because of the rise in terrorist attacks, the supply of these products was a top priority. However, the manufacturing operation and production process were halted due to the lockdown effect. Still, it quickly resumed after the global pandemic began to fade—the Riflescope Market Value to achieve its estimated growth rate in the coming years.

By Range:

In terms of range, the Riflescope Market is divided into three categories: short-range, medium-range, and long-range. The short-range segment has dominated the market in recent years due to features such as rapid target acquisition, wide-field view, and lightweight. Medium-range riflescopes provide users with improved target acquisition and clearer vision to long-distance targets. Long ranges are commonly used by military forces. Due to increased terror attacks, the long-term segment exhibits a significant growth rate during the forecast period.

By Technology:

The Riflescope Market is divided into three categories: EO/IR, thermal imaging, and laser. Because of their advanced optic capability, EO/IR riflescopes can hit the target with pinpoint accuracy. Thermal imaging provides enhanced surveillance, increased visibility, and alerts for false alarms. These features are driving the segment forward. Laser riflescopes are widely used in tactical missions due to features such as accurate targeting in low light.

By End-Use:

During the forecast period, the defense segment is expected to grow rapidly. The increase is due to an increase in the defense budget, increased rifle procurement contracts, and military force expansion. Military forces are replacing traditional rifle scopes with advanced scopes, which is driving market growth. Due to rising demand for rifles for commercial applications such as hunting and sports shooting, the commercial segment is expected to grow significantly between 2022 and 2028.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The riflescope market is highly fragmented, with several players accounting for significant amounts of shares in the market. Some of the prominent companies in the riflescope market are Burris Company, Hawke Optics, Hensoldt, Leupold & Stevens Inc., and Night force Optics. Several organizations have formed long-term relationships with the armed forces to upgrade and improve the battlefield capabilities of infantry soldiers. as well as for the development of future soldier modernization programs of defense ministries. Companies are investing heavily in R&D to develop new and advanced products and technologies that will give soldiers on the frontlines a tactical advantage over their competitors. Nikon introduced a new flagship hunting riflescope, Monarch riflescope, which is a long-range type riflescope that is best for hunting and sports activities. For military applications, manufacturers are introducing technologies, such as GPS geotagging, increased magnification, ultra HD magnification, along with connectivity features, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, in the riflescope for connectivity with other gadgets, such as smart goggles for improvising accuracy Such developments are expected to assist companies in expanding their geographic presence by acquiring new contracts from the armed forces.
