Anti-Tank Missile System Global Market Report 2025

The anti-tank missile system is a sophisticated and controlled missile system strategically designed for the purpose of eliminating armored vehicles, particularly tanks, in close combat scenarios. It combines the operational advantages found in extensive, crew-operated guided missile systems with the simplicity characteristic of lightweight anti-armor weapons.

There are two primary categories of anti-tank missile systems such as man-portable systems and vehicle-mounted systems. The term "airborne" in this context refers to actions or objects in the air, transported by air, wind, or aircraft. The airborne mobility anti-tank reserve, assigned with the mission to neutralize a concentration of AFU troops, swiftly deployed to the designated area for the assessment and destruction of the specified objectives. Anti-tank missile systems are deployed on both airborne and ground-based platforms, playing a crucial role in defense, homeland security, and various other applications.

The anti-tank missile system market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3 billion in 2024 to $3.11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing military expenditures, cold war arms race, Vietnam war and modernization, rise of armor-defeating warheads, evolution of man-portable systems.

The anti-tank missile system market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to international conflict and tensions, integration of artificial intelligence, rise in urban warfare, development of next-generation threats, enhanced survivability and lethality. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in targeting technology, innovation in warhead technology, increased range and lethality, miniaturization and portability, integration of fire-and-forget systems.

The forecast of 4.2% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection for this market.This marginal decrease is influenced by ongoing tariff-related uncertainties between the U.S. and its trade partners.This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for infrared seekers, sourced from key regions such as Germany and Israel, which could lead to higher procurement costs for ground forces.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rise in cross-border conflicts is anticipated to drive the growth of the anti-tank missile system market in the near future. Cross-border disputes refer to disagreements between nations regarding their borders and associated rights, often stemming from various issues such as resources, ethnic or cultural differences, political ideologies, and historical grievances. The escalation of these conflicts is boosting the demand for anti-tank missile systems, which are highly effective in destroying armored vehicles and tanks. For example, in January 2024, the Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), a Canada-based government agency, reported that by the end of 2023, 75.9 million individuals were living in internal displacement due to conflict, violence, and disasters, as noted by IDMC (2024). Of this total, 68.3 million people across 66 countries and territories were displaced specifically by conflict and violence, marking a 9% increase from 2022. Consequently, the rise in cross-border conflicts is propelling the growth of the anti-tank missile system market.

The upsurge in defense spending is poised to drive the growth of the anti-tank missile system market in the foreseeable future. Defense expenditure represents the aggregate financial resources allocated by a nation towards the maintenance and bolstering of its armed forces and essential defense apparatus. This surge in defense spending significantly influences the adoption and procurement of anti-tank missile systems. Countries with augmented defense budgets are inclined to invest in advanced military capabilities, including anti-tank missile systems, aiming to fortify their defense capabilities and deterrence mechanisms. For instance, as per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in April 2023, global military expenditure surged by 3.7% in real terms in 2022, reaching a historic high of $2,240 billion. Notably, military spending in Europe escalated by 13% during the period. Additionally, the United States observed an 8.8% nominal rise in military spending between 2021 and 2022, while real spending saw a 0.7% increase due to an 8.1% inflation rate during the same period. Consequently, the mounting defense expenditures are steering the growth trajectory of the anti-tank missile system market.

Major organizations in the anti-tank missile system market are concentrating on testing these systems and solutions to strengthen their defense capabilities and secure a competitive advantage in the defense industry. Flight testing is crucial for assessing how the human element impacts missile flight and for differentiating between aiming errors made by the gunner and inherent inaccuracies in the weapon itself. This testing is essential because anti-tank guided missiles utilize guided flight that incorporates human input in the guidance link, unlike free-flight ballistic trajectories. For example, in August 2024, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), an Indian government agency, along with the Indian Air Force (IAF), conducted tests on portable anti-tank missiles. This missile system is designed to equip ground forces with an effective tool for engaging and neutralizing armored threats across various combat scenarios. It features advanced guidance technologies to improve accuracy and minimize collateral damage.

Major companies in the anti-tank missile systems market are focusing on developing advanced innovations to enhance lethality and accuracy, decrease launch and reload times, and improve the overall effectiveness of their systems in diverse combat environments. For example, in October 2024, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, a government body in Ukraine, unveiled military innovations such as the Stuhna anti-tank missile system, Bohdana self-propelled artillery, new armored vehicles, unmanned ground platforms, mine clearance vehicles, and one-way attack drones intended for deep penetration into enemy territory to foreign partners. These innovations encompass a range of advanced weapon systems, surveillance technologies, logistical enhancements, and cyber defense strategies, all aimed at bolstering national security and readiness in contemporary conflict scenarios.

In October 2023, the Malaysian Ministry of Defense (MINDEF), a government ministry based in Malaysia, completed the procurement of KaraOK-guided anti-tank missile systems from Roketsan, marking a strategic enhancement in the capabilities of the Malaysian Army. This procurement agreement encompasses the acquisition of eighteen medium-range guided anti-tank missile systems (ATGM).
