Several military transport systems are susceptible targets of terrorist organizations for inflicting huge casualties and causing psychological trauma to the military infrastructure of a country. In addition, the frequency of terrorist attacks on surface transportation targets, such as military convoys, has increased and resulted in numerous casualties worldwide over the years.
As a result, it has forced governments to procure advanced machinery for protecting soldiers, such as APCs and IFVs. In addition, the current clash between Chinese and Indian troops has accelerated the purchase of armored vehicles, with Stryker, Tata WhAP, and Humvee being the biggest contenders. Furthermore, most prominent nations have already launched modernization initiatives for their armored vehicle fleet to deliver an augmented level of safety and mission readiness. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
APS significantly improves the survivability of armored vehicles by providing an additional layer of defense against several threats, such as anti-tank guided missiles, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and other projectiles. Therefore, armored vehicles equipped with APS have become more resilient in the face of modern anti-armor threats. In addition, the use of APS reduces the vulnerability of both the crew inside the vehicle and the vehicle itself.
Moreover, by intercepting threats before they reach the vehicle, APS mitigates the impact of explosive penetrators and shaped charge warheads, which are commonly used in anti-armor munitions. In addition, many APS systems are designed to be modular and can be retrofitted onto existing armored vehicle platforms. Furthermore, this modularity enables military forces to upgrade their existing fleets with APS technology without the need for complete vehicle replacement. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
As several military armored vehicles and counter-IED vehicles become increasingly dependent on advanced electronic systems, such as communication, navigation, and weapon control, they are prone to cyberattacks. In addition, cybersecurity measures are essential to protect these systems from hacking, data breaches, and remote control by adversaries.
Moreover, the integration of robust cybersecurity features is critical to safeguarding vehicle systems and sensitive data. In addition, the supply chain for military vehicles involves numerous components and subsystems from various suppliers. Furthermore, cyber supply chain security is a growing concern in the defense industry. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market which in turn hinders the market growth during the forecast period.
The infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Earlier, this segment used to be focused on providing mobility and firepower to the forces while compromising protection, but recent trends have witnessed the integration of superior artillery and damage-resistant armor into modern IFVs. In addition, the high demand for IFVs is attributable to the variety of features they possess and the plethora of strategic options they can deliver when deployed on the battlefield.

The infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 13.67 billion in 2018. Moreover, IFVs are equipped with a variety of weapons systems to support troops in combat. This comprises a combination of machine guns, automatic cannons, anti-tank guided missiles, and other weaponry. In addition, they provide infantry support during these operations and enhance the overall combat capability of a mechanized force. Furthermore, their mobility allows infantry forces to reach the battlefield swiftly Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on the mobility type, the segment is classified into wheeled and tracked. This segment is often used to transport infantry and other military personnel to and from the battlefield. In addition, they offer mobility and protection for troops, allowing them to reach their destinations safely. Moreover, some wheeled armored vehicles are armed with various types of weapons, including machine guns, autocannons, and anti-tank missiles. Furthermore, they offer direct and indirect fire support to infantry and can engage enemy positions, vehicles, and personnel. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
