Armored Vehicle Market Size Worth $36.4 Billion By 2025 | CAGR: 5.4%
The global armored vehicle market size is
expected to reach USD 36.4 billion by
2025, registering a CAGR of 5.4%
from 2019 to 2025, according to a new study conducted by Grand View
Research, Inc. Growing internal and external terrorist activities across the
globe are expected to drive market demand over the forecast period.
Technological advancements such as unmanned vehicles are expected to further
fuel market growth.
The automotive &
transportation industry is amongst the most exposed verticals to the ongoing
COVID-19 outbreak and is currently amidst unprecedented uncertainty. COVID-19
is expected to have a significant impact on the supply chain and product demand
in the automotive sector. The industry's concern has moved on from being
centered on supply chain disruption from China to the overall slump in demand
for automotive products. The demand for commercial vehicles is expected to
plummet with the shutdown of all non-essential services. Furthermore, changes
in consumer buying behavior owing to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic may
have serious implications on the near future growth of the industry. Meanwhile,
liquidity shortfall and cash crunch have already impacted the sales of fleet
operators, which is further expected to widen over the next few months. We are
continuously monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, and assessing its impact on the
growth of the automotive & transportation industry. The report will account
for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
Armored vehicles are protected by layers of depleted uranium
or stainless-steel and are equipped with robust weapons that combine defensive,
tactical offensive, and operational mobility capabilities. Development of
advanced vehicles and technologies such as unmanned armored vehicle and
AI-based smart object recognition and tracking technology to be used in the
military sector is expected to propel the market over the next few years.
Growing need to protect military recruits from land mines
and fire is expected to drive demand for armored vehicles over the forecast
period. Furthermore, demand for these vehicles is increasing in the Asia
Pacific and Middle East and Africa regions owing to constant tension among
neighboring countries and internal threats from rebels.

Major market players are making massive investments in
research and development programs to develop new technologies and products.
Enhanced protection and fuel efficiency are key aspects considered for future
developments in armored vehicles. For instance, in April 2018, BAE Systems
developed a new version of the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV), which was
equipped with mine roller systems. The vehicle is widely used for protection against
improvised explosive devices.
Armored vehicles are protected by very strong
armor and generally armed with robust weapons which combine defensive, tactical
offensive and operation mobility capabilities which can be tracked easily. Some

tank, armored car, aerosani, reconnaissance vehicle, mortar carrier, multiple
rocket launcher, improvised fighting vehicle, armored personnel carrier,
infantry fighting vehicle, tankette, air defense vehicles, self-propelled
artillery, amphibious vehicle, armored engineering vehicle, tank destroyer and
armored train.

A military armored vehicle is usually employed
for reconnaissance, armed escort, internal security as well as other
battlefield tasks. The classification of armored fighting vehicles is done
based on their intended battlefield role and characteristics, both of which are
not absolute. With different nations engaging in conflict at high frequencies
over territorial or resource disputes, there is a need by military forces
around the globe of vehicles that would help them in undermining the enemy. All
this has created huge demand for them.
Tactical military carriers
are constructed primarily for use by the military personnel. Armored personnel
carrier (APC) are used for safer deployment of infantry to battle fields or
high threat range and it can be distinguished from infantry fighting vehicle
(IFV) based on the weapons it bears. There have been major upgrades to armored
vehicles in terms of technology, which has made them an attractive prospect for
law enforcement agencies as well. Lenco Industries’ ‘Lenco BearCat’ is now
being increasingly preferred by law enforcement agencies in the United States.
The global armored
vehicle market size was valued at USD 25.5 billion in 2018 and is expected to
exhibit a CAGR of 5.4% from 2019 to 2025. The market has witnessed considerable
growth owing to increasing focus on safeguarding soldiers from external and
internal threats. Growing awareness about commercial security is also expected
to drive demand for various armored vehicles over the forecast period.
