Shifting consumer interest towards spending more time on leisure activities is accelerating the growth of the airsoft guns market
Airsoft
guns are small firearms that simulate military-style weapons like the ones used
in war. Airsoft guns can be powered either by spring, gas or manually operated.
The sport of airsoft includes three basic elements: the players, the equipment,
and the scene/staging ground. Some of the equipment used in airsoft is not
necessarily military-issue but can be similar in appearances, such as pistol
scopes, red dot sights, and laser pointers. Airsoft guns are fired from airsoft
guns can be shot from the shoulder, the hand, or the forehand (with a unique
type of it). In addition, some airsoft guns are double-edged, meaning that they
can have an orange tip that expands when the trigger is pulled. Each of these
methods of firing produces different characteristics of the outcome, including
range, trajectory, and velocity.
The
increasing interest of people in leisure activities such as target shooting is
driving the growth of the airsoft guns market. The growing participation of
people in adventurous sports activities for reducing stress from hectic work is
again fueling the growth of the market. According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, around 19 percent of the U.S. population was engaged in sports and
exercise each day in 2017. Male participation was higher (20.2 percent) than
the participation rate of women (17.8 percent). Moreover, a growing number of
shooting organizations across developed as well as developing countries coupled
with the rising demand for airsoft sports activities is encouraging players to
conduct airsoft leagues which are further anticipated to foster the growth of
the airsoft
guns market.
North
America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and
this is attributed to the increasing people interest in adventurous sports
activities such as shooting and hunting. The growing focus of manufacturers in
arranging various sports activities in order to increase the consumer reach is
also projected to augment the regional market growth. Furthermore, the
increasing number of airsoft fields in the regions is again projected to propel
the regional market growth
