The global Armored Vehicles Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems (AFES) Market size was USD 0.08 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.11 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.3% during forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the armored vehicles automatic fire extinguishing systems (AFES) market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The industry involved in the development, production, and deployment of fire suppression systems specifically built for armoured vehicles is referred to as the Armoured Vehicles Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems (AFES) market. AFES are critical safety systems fitted in armoured vehicles such as tanks, fighting vehicles, and other military platforms to detect and extinguish fires that may erupt as a result of combat or other hazards.

The primary goal of AFES is to protect the crew and essential components of the armoured vehicle from fire-related damage, as well as to reduce the danger of injuries or fatalities. Sensors, control panels, suppression chemicals, and discharge mechanisms are common components of these systems, and they all work together to efficiently detect and extinguish flames.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the global market experienced significant slowing due to the temporary halt in most industrial activities, particularly those related to construction, manufacturing, industrial solutions, automotive and other machinery and equipment sectors. However, in 2021, the start of large-scale vaccination efforts eased the lockdown and travel restrictions, allowing manufacturing operations to resume. These factors are projected to boost the market during the forecast period.
