American firms dominate the market for selling weapons; there are 40 in the ranking, and five of them are in the top 10. The total amount of their sales was $299 billion. The only other region to have a real terms loss was North America. Experts blame the United States' high inflation rate for it.
The 27 companies in Europe included in the report saw a 4.2% growth in total sales, to $123 billion, in 2021. The ranking includes 21 Asian and Oceanian firms with projected revenues of $ 136 billion, or 5.8% greater than in 2020. Eight Chinese businesses were responsible for $109 billion of that total. Four additional South Korean businesses on the list saw a 3.6% increase in sales to $7.2 billion.
