The increasing participation of women and youth in shooting sports, along with the proliferation of private shooting clubs and sports training academies, is adding to market growth. Countries with strong sporting traditions are investing in promoting shotgun sports through federations and associations, leading to a rise in both amateur and professional-level shooters. This growing global enthusiasm, combined with product differentiation strategies by manufacturers, is expected to significantly bolster the sports shotgun market during the forecast period.
Based on region, North America is projected to lead the sports shotgun market in 2025, primarily driven by the US’ significant involvement in competitive shooting and hunting activities. The US represents a substantial portion of global demand, supported by a strong shooting culture, a large population of licensed firearm owners, active national sports associations, and regular hosting of major events such as trap, skeet, and 3-gun competitions. Although many top sports shotgun manufacturers are headquartered in Europe, particularly in Italy and Germany, their highest commercial success and sales volumes are observed in the US market. European brands, including Beretta, Krieghoff, and Perazzi, have effectively captured the demand in the US through localized product offerings, robust distribution networks, and strategic sponsorship of high-profile sporting events. The growth of this market is further supported by favorable government policies promoting recreational shooting, active participation from organizations such as USA Shooting and the National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA), and the availability of well-established retail infrastructure.
The country’s extensive hunting areas and historic hunting traditions, which draw domestic and foreign hunters, are the main drivers of demand. Waterfowl, upland game, and small game hunters continue to favor shotguns, with semi-automatic and over-under versions being well-liked. These factors have firmly positioned North America as the leading consumer base for premium and mid-range sports shotguns.
