Riflescopes Market Insights

The global riflescopes market is estimated to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026). A riflescope is a telescopic vision mounted on top of a rifle that helps locate and magnify a target to improve aim. The riflescopes are mainly used for military, hunting, and sports shooting. Riflescopes allow accurate target shooting and are used widely in military operations. The high demand of riflescopes in hunting and shooting sports further lead to the market’s growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the advancements in technology for the precision attack is one of the significant factors driving the market growth. However, the high cost of riflescopes and ban on hunting are some of the factors hampering the market growth over the coming years.

Riflescopes Market Size: By Sight Type

Based on the sight type, the market is segmented into telescopic and reflex. The telescopic segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for hunting and military applications. Telescopic sight provides improved vision and helps shooters target the aim clearer.

Riflescopes Market Size: By Application
