Anti-Tank Missile System Global Market Report 2024

The anti-tank missile system market has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.93 billion in 2023 to $3.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to several key factors. This includes the upsurge in military expenditures, driven by various geopolitical factors such as the Cold War arms race and the Vietnam War. Additionally, the push for modernization initiatives has played a significant role in fostering growth.

The anti-tank missile system market is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.6 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period is driven by global conflicts and heightened tensions, the incorporation of artificial intelligence, the escalation of urban warfare, the emergence of next-generation threats, and improvements in both survivability and lethality. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass advancements in targeting technology, innovations in warhead technology, extended range and increased lethality, miniaturization for enhanced portability, and the integration of fire-and-forget systems. These developments are poised to shape the landscape of the market, offering opportunities for businesses in the defense and technology sectors.

The escalation in cross-border conflicts is anticipated to drive the expansion of the anti-tank missile system market in the near future. Cross-border disputes denote disagreements among nations concerning territorial boundaries and associated rights. These conflicts can arise due to various factors such as resource allocation, ethnic or cultural disparities, political ideologies, and historical grievances. The surge in these conflicts has led to an increased demand for anti-tank missile systems, renowned for their effectiveness in neutralizing armored vehicles and tanks. For instance, as reported by the Pew Research Center in November 2021, encounters with unaccompanied minors surged from 30,557 in fiscal 2020 to 144,834 in fiscal 2021, while encounters with families rose from 52,230 to 451,087. Hence, the heightened instances of cross-border conflicts propel the market for anti-tank missile systems.

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.

Prominent entities engaged in the anti-tank missile system market are actively engaged in conducting comprehensive tests on anti-tank missile systems and solutions, aiming to bolster defense capabilities and attain a competitive advantage within the defense sector. The objective of flight testing revolves around assessing the human factor's impact on flight dynamics, distinguishing between gunner-induced aiming errors and inherent weapon errors. Flight testing assumes significance as anti-tank guided missiles entail guided flights incorporating human intervention in the guidance link, distinct from free-flight ballistic trajectories. A notable instance involves the successful flight testing of the Stand-off Anti-tank (SANT) Missile by India's Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) in December 2021. Developed by the Research Center Imarat (RCI), the SANT missile is the third indigenously developed stand-off weapon recently tested, alongside long-range bombs and smart anti-airfield weapons, aimed at reinforcing the IAF's arsenal. Equipped with a state-of-the-art MMW (millimeter wave) seeker, the missile delivers high-precision strikes from a secure distance, effectively neutralizing targets situated up to ten kilometers away.

Leading firms operating in the anti-tank missile systems market are strategically aligning efforts to introduce cutting-edge solutions such as Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) systems, ensuring swift deployment and a competitive edge in the market. These advanced ATGM systems are characterized by their sophisticated technological attributes, including precision guidance, extended operational ranges, and multi-mission capabilities. For instance, in October 2021, Bharat Dynamics Limited, an India-based manufacturer specializing in ammunition and missile systems, unveiled Sangramika at DefExpo2022, an event organized by India's Ministry of Defense. Sangramika represents an anti-tank guided missile system featuring an in-house designed and developed anti-tank guided missile, Amogha III, mounted on an Ashok Leyland light specialist vehicle. This deployment allows for the swift deployment of the Amogha-III armament system, a man-portable third-generation anti-tank guided weapon system, covering a broader operational distance, facilitated by a highly agile light specialist vehicle customized by Ashok Leyland.

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). Analysts suggest that these advanced technologies will serve as replacements for the outdated Metis-M equipment that has been in service with the Malaysian Army for the past two decades. Roketsan, a prominent defense contractor headquartered in Turkey, specializes in the manufacture of anti-tank missile systems.
