Armored Fighting Vehicles Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Armored Fighting Vehicles Market Analysis

The Armored Fighting Vehicles Market size is estimated at USD 25.25 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 32.21 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.99% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• Despite the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the market for armored fighting vehicles remained unaffected, as the procurement projects were on track and the sales and revenues of armored vehicles increased steadily for the manufacturing companies. However, there were some supply chain disruptions pocketed for certain vehicle models owing to the complexity and critical component requirements of the integrated subsystems.
• The widening of geopolitical rifts and rising instances of cross-border conflicts in regions such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa has been the primary demand driver for the procurement of new armored vehicles to enhance the combat capabilities of the ground forces. Currently, the majority of the armed forces globally are operating old and aging armored vehicles. To replace the aging armored vehicles fleet, the armed forces are investing in the procurement of new-generation armed vehicle programs with enhanced efficiency, lethality, and surveillance capabilities. There is a growing emphasis on developing local manufacturing capabilities in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and African regions. The development of new armored vehicle models by local armored vehicle manufacturers is anticipated to increase their presence in the regional market.
