Global arms sales: Where they are rising most and why | | DW News

Global arms sales grew again last year - for the seventh year in a row. That's according to SIPRI, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Its annual report for 2021 says weapons sales were up despite supply chain challenges amid the pandemic.
Sales by the top 100 companies in the industry reached 592 billion dollars. That's an increase of 1.9% on the previous year.
