Industry Insights

Global armored vehicle sales were valued at USD 25.5 Billion in 2018. It is projected to grow by 5.4% between 2019 and 2025. Due to increased emphasis on protecting soldiers from internal and external threats, the market has seen significant growth. Over the forecast period, there will be a rise in awareness of commercial security and increased demand for armored vehicles.

Market growth is expected to be aided by multilateral cooperation between countries like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the African Union in order to combat terrorism and keep peace. Market growth is expected to be driven by different governments investing in the most modern machinery to combat militant attacks and insurgencies. Market demand will also be driven by rising communal riots in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific.

Market growth will be boosted by an increase in defense budgets, especially in Asia Pacific. Contract allotments will be influenced by the goodwill of industry players. Over the next few years, the market will be driven by technological advances such as improved fuel efficiency and the use of high-tech sensor technology.

Asymmetric warfare is a result of increasing cross-border criminal activity and terrorist acts. This will increase product demand. The development of lightweight, compact, high-efficiency, and highly efficient armored vehicles that can be used for defense operations will also help to boost growth prospects.

The industry's growth may be limited by the budget available for military spending in North America and Europe. The market will be affected by rising prices for raw materials, components, vehicle assembly and machining equipment.

Regional Insights

In 2018, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of revenue, with USD 7.9 billion. This is due to government initiatives to increase military power in countering internal and external terrorist attacks. Several government agencies are investing large amounts in the development of the defense sector throughout the region.

Countries like India, South Korea and China have made investments in advanced armored vehicle development and procurement. These factors will drive the market over the forecast period. South Korea, for example, announced in February 2018 that it would establish a research centre to develop navigation algorithms for unmanned armored vehicle and AI-based smart object detection and tracking technology.

Asia Pacific manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to create advanced, hybrid armored vehicles that can be used for maritime and border patrolling. In the coming years, regional growth will be boosted by rising military expenditures and a growing demand for light armored vehicles of medium size for patrolling operations.

Market Share in Armored Vehicles

The market's key players include BAE Systems, BMW AG, Daimler AG, (Mercedes Benz); Elbit Systems, Ford Motor Company, General Dynamics Corporation, INKAS Armored Vehicle Manufacturing, International Armored Group, IVECO; Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co.(KMW); Lenco Industries, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Navistar, Inc., Oshkosh Defense, LLC, Rheinmetall AG, STAT, Inc., Inc.
