The import of rifles for sporting, hunting, or target-shooting in Germany is projected to see a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with the value expected to rise from 18.761 million USD to 20.17 million USD. In 2023, the import value was slightly lower, illustrating a modest upward trajectory into the coming years.

Key trends and future considerations for stakeholders include:

Monitoring changes in regulations and policies surrounding firearm imports in the EU.
Evaluating shifts in consumer interest towards alternative sports or activities that may impact demand.
Assessing potential impacts of geopolitical or economic events on international supply chains.
