2025 witnessed renewed geopolitical competition and ongoing conflicts fuel increased military expenditure and expansion of the global small arms market. Data collected proved that rising demand is accelerating the diffusion of weapons, including into the hands of non-state actors across multiple regions. At the same time, increasingly adaptive trafficking networks as well as technological and industrial shifts are compounding these challenges. Traditional arms control approaches are being outpaced.

2024 marked a new chapter for the Small Arms Survey with a fresh strategy and new leadership.

Complementing these changes, we’ve reimagined our Annual Report to better reflect the impact of our work across seven key thematic areas.

The Small Arms Survey's annual report provides an overview of the Survey's work from the previous year. It highlights the main activities undertaken by our projects and units, the publications that were released, the Survey's outreach work, as well as important institutional and financial developments.
