Who Sells the Most Weapons?

By Anna Fleck – Statista

The United States was the largest arms exporter between 2018 and 2022, making up 40 percent of all international arms sales, delivering weapons to 103 states. This marks an increase from the 33.0 percent it accounted for between 2013 and 2017.

As this chart shows, Russia followed in second place. The country has seen a fall in its major arms exports over the past years, having accounted for 16.0 percent of global arms exports between 2018-22, down from 22 percent in 2013-17. Most weapons went to India (31 percent), China (23 percent) and Egypt (9.3 percent).
