In 2023, Germany led European imports of revolvers, pistols, and non-military firearms, closely followed by Spain and France. Notably, Spain showed a significant year-on-year increase of over 26%, while Ireland experienced an astonishing growth of approximately 133%. In contrast, countries like Belgium and Slovakia saw declines in their import share. Over the past five years, stable incremental trends are observed, although fluctuations like Luxembourg's drastic drop remained notable.
Looking forward, the European market is expected to maintain growth in firearm imports, potentially driven by concerns over security and hunting activities. Monitoring geopolitical shifts and regulatory changes will be essential in predicting future trends.
