MILITARY LAND VEHICLES MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Military Land Vehicles Market is expected to be valued at USD 49.595 billion in 2025, increase to around USD 51.806 billion in 2026, and is forecasted to reach nearly USD 74.916 billion by 2034, advancing at a CAGR of 4.4% between 2025 and 2034.

The need for new military land vehicles is being driven by a number of factors, including rising international tensions, low-intensity cross-border clashes, diverse geographical deployment of armed forces, and standardization needs as part of military alliances like NATO. It is projected that the European region, which is updating its inventory of armored vehicles, will be the main driver of demand for military land vehicles.

Key Findings

COVID-19 Impact

Number of Difficulties Experienced by the Manufacturers of Military Vehicles due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the military land vehicles market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to military land vehicles market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the military sector has encountered never-before-seen difficulties. Due to decreased defense spending in nations like Thailand, India, South Korea, and others, the market's growth pace has slowed down. Due to the epidemic, military land vehicles manufacturers on the market had delays in delivery of their products. The market expanded more slowly as a result of supply chain disruption, a slump in the economy, and a manufacturing standstill suffered by the producers.

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of the Latest QRFV for the Indian Army will Improve the Operation Capacity of the Army During Warlike Instances 

Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) became India's first private sector business to construct and supply wheeled armored combat-ready vehicles for the Indian armed services in April 2022, marking a milestone in the country's military ecosystem. To improve the Indian military's operational capacity the Indian army has received the Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicle-Medium (QRFV), which was developed locally. According to TASL, the made-in-India troop carrier will improve the Indian army's operating capability in upcoming conflicts and warlike scenarios.

• According to the European Defence Agency (EDA), member states increased collaborative defense procurement by 20% in 2022, boosting demand for next-generation armored vehicles across Europe.

• The Indian Ministry of Defence announced in 2022 the induction of 100 Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles (QRFV), marking the first large-scale deployment of domestically produced wheeled armored combat vehicles.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rapid Increasing IFVs Sector on Account of its Advantages on the Battlefield is Broadening the Growth of the Market

With a market share of nearly 29% over the projection period, the infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) sector is anticipated to be the military land vehicles market's fastest-growing segment. This significant portion is ascribed to the IFVs' enduring significance in the armored structure of contemporary military forces. The combat efficiency and cutting-edge armored protection for troops offered by IFVs have both been extensively documented due to their use in nearly all major international conflicts. They are essential for providing direct-fire support and allowing soldiers to travel across the battlefield in safety.

Increasing Threat of Cross-Border Terrorism has Led to Growing Demand for Technological Advancements in Military Vehicles

The fear of cross-border terrorism has increased demand for sophisticated military land vehicles in expanding countries like India, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Africa. The many types of vehicles include light utility vehicles, tactical fighting vehicles, heavy weaponry, tanks, and military vehicles. These vehicles incorporate cutting-edge equipment like location tracking, fire suppression systems, integrated optics, and self-defense systems. For instance, independent and different suspension systems are built into the light, medium, and heavy vehicles of the Tak-4 military fleet. LIDAR, radar imaging, military-grade global satellite navigation systems, and precise positioning are all provided by the Oshkosh Defense Autonomous Technology without the requirement for ongoing tracking or GPS.

• As per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global defense spending rose by 3.7% in 2022, driving continuous investment in infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and battle tanks.

• The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) reported that 19 of its 30 member countries have already achieved the defense spending benchmark of 2% of GDP, accelerating land vehicle modernization programs.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Decrease in Government Spending’s on Military and Defense in Different Nations Can Hamper with the Growth of the Market

Governments in a number of nations are cutting back on military spending and national defense spending, which has an effect on how quickly the market for military land vehicles is expanding globally. For instance, military spending in nations like Algeria, Sudan, and Angola declined from 2017 to 2018 by about 6.1%, 49%, and 18%, accordingly. Additionally, Saudi Arabia and France saw a large decline in military spending of 6.5% and 1.4%, respectively, and saw a decline in their standing in terms of defense spending. Therefore, it is projected that a decline in nationwide military and defense spending will restrain the military land vehicles market growth.

• According to SIPRI data, military expenditure in Algeria dropped by 6.1%, Sudan by 49%, and Angola by 18% between 2017 and 2018, directly limiting procurement of new vehicles.

• The French Ministry of Armed Forces confirmed a 1.4% reduction in France’s defense budget during 2018, slowing down orders of armored and tactical vehicles.
