Tanzania`s small arms and light weapons import shipments in 2024 were primarily sourced from Slovakia, Italy, Czech Republic, South Africa, and Austria. The market saw a shift from very high concentration in 2023 to high concentration in 2024. Despite a negative growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the compound annual growth rate over the period 2020-2024 stood at a modest 4.11%. This indicates a relatively stable but consolidating market for small arms and light weapons imports in Tanzania, with key players from Europe and Africa dominating the trade landscape.
