The market for armoured vehicles continues to be buoyant, with the Asia-Pacific region predicted to be the major growth area over the next 10 years. Afghanistan, Australia, China, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand all have major armoured vehicle procurement programmes under way or planned. Despite large budget cuts, the US still plans to devote significant funds to its AMPV, JLTV and ACV programmes. There are still large numbers of Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) in service worldwide. An estimated 89,619 are in current inventories, the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 31.2% of the total (27,982) and Russia and the CIS countries 23.75% (21,255). Europe (excluding Russia and the CIS countries) now has some 11,383 MBTs, equating to 12.7% of the global fleet (see annex A). Nevertheless, 6,000 MBTs are forecast to be produced globally over the next 10 years, valued at $26 billion. Excluding MBTs, there are an estimated 233,568 light armoured vehicles (armoured cars, AIFVs and APCs) in service around the
globe (see annex B). Nearly a third of these are operated by Russia and the CIS countries (28.7%), with Russia alone accounting for 25% of the world total. Europe operates 18.2% of the total (42,401) and 25 European countries have procurement programmes under way or planned, with many new vehicles on the market from European manufacturing companies. The Middle-East accounts for over 15.1% of the world fleet (35,270), with active procurement programmes in Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the U.A.E. and increased spending on armoured vehicles forecast until at least the end of the decade.
Although Latin America only has 7,735 light armoured vehicles (3.3%), several vehicles are successfully produced in the region and Brazil is the largest market, with procurement programmes also in Argentina, Jamaica, Paraguay (planned) and Venezuela. Around 11,000 light tracked vehicles are forecast to be produced over the next decade, valued at over $30 billion, whereas nearly 27,000 light wheeled vehicles, valued at over $12 billion are also forecast to be produced.

Armoured vehicle production does not just exist to enhance the capabilities of an armed force. In many
parts of the world, it is energising local industry and solidifying bilateral partnerships. However, as Defence IQ’s latest survey data and analysis reveals in this report, the market is never certain from one year to the next, primarily because it is reactive to the demands of the unpredictable operational environment. While confidence in the once burgeoning African and Middle Eastern markets appears to have slowed, confidence is returning in the European market. Defence budgets fluctuate, strategies adapt and force structures are realigned. The only way to stay on top of these changes is to continue to communicate with others in the field, to intelligently observe the emerging threats, and to absorb reliable market intelligence. As such, this annual Armoured Vehicles Market Report is intended as a freely available resource ahead of the world-renowned International Armoured Vehicles conference, now in its fifteenth year. The event is widely considered to be the leading conference and exhibition dedicated to land vehicles and force protection, underscored by its long pedigree and consistently high-level panel of keynote speakers.
