Shoulder-Fired Weapons Market in Sweden
Sweden anchors a meaningful slice of the global shoulder-fired weapons market through Saab. Shoulder-fired weapons combine air defense (MANPADS) and anti-armor (recoilless rifles, light ATGMs) into the cheapest credible defensive layer. Demand is surging from NATO east-flank states and non-aligned buyers alike.
Industrial Scaling & Supply Chain Dynamics:Production bottlenecks concentrate in rocket motors, infrared seekers and propellant chemistry. Western manufacturers are standing up parallel production lines in Europe and the US, while Piorun export success demonstrates the emerging Polish role.
