Summary

Market forecasts by Regions, and by Type. Country Analysis, Opportunity and Impact Analysis, Market and Technologies Overview, and Leading Companies

In an era defined by escalating geopolitical tensions, rising defence budgets, and the return of high-intensity conflicts, the global armoured vehicles market is entering a phase of robust, long-term growth. Armed forces worldwide are prioritising mechanised and motorised capabilities, driving accelerated procurement of infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), armoured personnel carriers (APCs), and advanced support platforms. Lessons from recent conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza have reaffirmed the vital role of armoured systems in modern warfare, intensifying demand for platforms that deliver superior survivability and lethality.

Europe is leading this resurgence, reversing years of underinvestment through ambitious modernisation programmes that are transforming continental defence postures, while the United States maintains a mature market dominated by established leaders.
Market dynamics are evolving rapidly. Consolidation efforts in Europe continue to navigate national interests and regional priorities, while nations like Poland pursue greater industrial independence. In the Middle East, countries including the UAE and Saudi Arabia are developing domestic capabilities to enhance operational sustainability and reduce reliance on external suppliers. Meanwhile, China is emerging as a disruptive force, offering cost-effective yet advanced designs that are challenging traditional exporters, particularly as Russia's capabilities remain constrained by ongoing demands.

Technological innovation is reshaping the sector, with AI, big data, augmented and virtual reality, and additive manufacturing enabling faster design, prototyping, and lifecycle management. Rising threats from anti-tank missiles, drones, loitering munitions, and peer-level armour are accelerating the integration of active protection systems (APS) on main battle tanks and IFVs, overcoming previous cost barriers to deliver enhanced battlefield resilience.
Competition remains fierce, shaped by long platform lifecycles, politically sensitive procurements, and requirements for local industrial participation. Leading OEMs are securing advantage through strategic acquisitions, resilient supply chains, and comprehensive lifecycle support solutions.

Beyond initial acquisitions, the market offers substantial opportunities in upgrades, maintenance, and sustained services. In a complex global security environment marked by persistent threats and the re-emergence of peer-level warfare, the demand for powerful, deterrent armoured forces will continue to drive expansion—creating lasting value for stakeholders positioned to meet these evolving needs.
