Market Overview:
The Global Foldable Knives Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for foldable knives for hunting and military applications. Additionally, the growing trend of urbanization is also propelling the demand for foldable knives in the global market.
Product Definition:
A foldable knife is a knife that can be folded into its handle, making it easier to carry. Foldable knives are often more compact than traditional knives, making them ideal for everyday carry.
Flat:
Flat is a type of knife which has two or more blades attached to a single piece of metal or wooden handle. The blade usually consists of one or more cutting edges and may be used for skinning animals, vegetables, and fruits. It can also be used for other domestic purposes like peeling vegetables & fruits.
The global foldable knives market size was valued at USD 1,849 million in 2018.
Jagged:
Jagged is a series of serrated knives that are designed to cut through thick materials like bones and vegetables with extreme force. The design of the knife helps in increasing the strength of the blade, which makes it capable to tear through tough materials. Jagged knives are mostly used by butchers for cutting meat into pieces or smaller sizes for easier handling and transportation.
Application Insights:
The military application segment accounted for the largest share of 49.9% in 2017. The demand for these knives is expected to increase due to their versatility and convenience, which makes them an ideal choice for military personnel who are on the move or deployed far from home. These knives can be easily carried in a soldier¢â‚¬â„¢s backpack without occupying much space and weighing down the load, which helps soldiers carry more ammunition and other essentials with ease.
The hunting application segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to rising preference among consumers across various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa countries for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping etc., especially during summer season when people go outdoors more often than usual due to hot weather conditions prevailing there during that time of year.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global foldable knives market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Increasing demand for folding knives in North America can be attributed to various factors including rising knife crime, growing military and defense industry, and increasing use of hunting knives. Europe accounted for a significant share of revenue generated by the global market in 2017 owing to high product demand from countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain among others.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness substantial growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income coupled with increasing popularity of outdoor sports activities such as camping.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for compact and lightweight knives for easy handling
