Military land vehicles are ground-based vehicles specifically designed and engineered for defense, combat, and tactical support operations. They include categories such as main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers (APCs), infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), self-propelled artillery, reconnaissance vehicles, and logistics trucks. These vehicles are built to provide mobility, protection, and combat effectiveness across diverse terrains and conflict scenarios. The primary purpose of military land vehicles is to support armed forces by enhancing mobility, firepower, and survivability in combat zones.
The global military land vehicles market reached a value of nearly $23,408.34 million in 2024, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.64% since 2019. The market is expected to grow from $23,408.34 million in 2024 to $30,288.34 million in 2029 at a rate of 5.29%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.57% from 2029 and reach $37,879.65 million in 2034.
Expanding Military Modernization Programs
During the historic period, the military land vehicles market was mainly driven by expanding military modernization programs. As part of its vision to enhance national defence and self-reliance, the government stepped up its investment in inducting newer technologies, boosting domestic manufacturing and updating its military hardware. This push included increasing production, signing landmark contracts, fostering innovation and encouraging indigenous design and development in platforms ranging from armored vehicles to command & control systems. For example, in June 2025, the UK government invested £5 billion ($6.70 billion) to protect UK troops and warships by drone and laser weapon technology as the UK seeks to become the leading edge of innovation in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) under the Strategic Defense Review (SDR) and driven by lessons from Ukraine. The major funding package includes more than £4 billion ($5.36 billion) for autonomous systems and a further investment of nearly £1 billion ($1.34 billion) for Directed Energy Weapons (DEW). Therefore, the military land vehicles market was mainly driven by expanding military modernization programs.
Launch Of All-Terrain Vehicle For Extreme Battlefield Mobility
Major companies in the military land vehicles market are focusing on the launch of all-terrain vehicles for extreme battlefield mobility. An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is a small, motorized vehicle designed to travel on a wide variety of surfaces, dirt, sand, mud, snow, rocky trails, and other off-road conditions, where normal cars or motorcycles can't easily go. For example, in September 2025, Patria, a Finnish defense firm that provides lifecycle support, technology solutions, and products for military, aviation, and security applications, introduced TRACKX, a tracked all-terrain vehicle the company describes as its "ultimate" platform for extreme battlefield mobility. Designed to operate across snow, forests, roads, and water, the vehicle carries up to 12 troops, including a driver and a commander, and offers NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization)-standard protection against ballistics and mines.
The global military land vehicles market is concentrated, with large players operating in the market. The top 10 competitors in the market made up 37.75% of the total market in 2024.
