The Military Vehicle Market size was valued at US$ 32.47 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 65.53 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 10.8% from 2025 to 2031.

The Military Vehicle Market is segmented into five major regions-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. North America dominated the market in 2024, followed by Europe, and Asia Pacific respectively.

The US, Canada, and Mexico are the significant economies in North America. The US is leading the military vehicles market across North America. The government's focus on strengthening the country's defense sector in terms of advanced military vehicles for transportation, logistics, and combat vehicles is driving the US military vehicle market growth. In 2022, the military expenditure of the US was US$ 860.6 billion on defense activities, and in 2021 it was ~US$ 870.7 billion. In 2023, the US invested US$ 916 billion in military domain. The increasing budget for defense expenditure indicates the country's focus and emphasis on advancing the defense sector to meet the growing need for security. The Lockheed Martin Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation, and BAE Systems Plc are among the key companies operating in the US. Technological advancements in the field of transportation, logistics, and combat platforms in the defense sector are boosting the demand for multi-role military vehicles in the US. For instance, in 2023, BAE Systems was awarded a US$ 211 million firm-fixed-price modification to a previously awarded contract by the U.S. Marine Corps for more amphibious combat vehicles (ACVs) under the Marine Corps' fourth order for full-rate production (FRP). In addition to vehicle production, the award covers the procurement of 40 FRP ACV Personnel (ACV-P) variants, fielding and support expenditures, and test equipment. Furthermore, in 2024, BAE Systems was awarded US$ 25 million to deliver the US Marine Corps more ACV-P units under its fourth order for full-rate production. In 2022, the US Army awarded a US$ 732.7 million contract to AM General LLC for HMMWV ECV lightweight battlefield vehicles and vetronics for surveillance, reconnaissance, medical, and similar applications. Thus, the rise in technological advancements and the need for modern multi-purpose vehicles to manage the surveillance and security of the country are boosting the demand for military vehicles in the US.

Based on applications, the military vehicle market has been segmented into ground support handling, tactical warfare, ISR, military transportation, and others. The tactical warfare segment held the largest share of the military vehicle market in 2024. The increase in complexity of warfare, the rise of asymmetric threats, and the need for enhanced tactical mobility and protection for ground forces are among the factors propelling the market growth for the application segment. The military transportation segment is distinguished from other segments by its focus on payload capacity, range, and versatility, with vehicles designed to operate in a wide range of terrain and environmental conditions. These vehicles may include trucks, trailers, and specialized transport platforms, each with unique features and capabilities to meet the specific requirements of military logistics. Factors driving the market growth of the military transportation segment include the increasing need to modernize aging fleets, evolving military operational requirements, and the continuous demand for efficient logistics in complex combat scenarios. For instance, in January 2025, the German armed forces (Bundeswehr) awarded a contract to Rheinmetall for the supply of 568 logistics vehicles. This order includes 349 UTF trucks (unprotected transport vehicles) in both 5-ton and 15-ton models, alongside 219 trucks equipped with a swap-body system-121 of which will feature a protected driver's cab. The total value of these projects exceeds US$ 410 million, with deliveries scheduled for 2025 and 2026. This significant order highlights the ongoing modernization efforts within military transportation and reflects the increasing demand for reliable logistics solutions.
