Anti-Tank Missile Market Research Report Information Information by Type (Man-Portable and Vehicle-Mounted), Platform (Airborne and Ground-Based), End User (Military and Commercial) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America) - Forecast till 2030

Anti-Tank Missile Market Scenario

Anti-Tank Missile Market Size is expected to reach USD 18 Million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.25% during 2020-2030.

Anti-tank missiles are developed to hit and destroy tanks and other armored military vehicles. These weapons vary in size, ranging from man-portable, tripod-mounted, and shoulder-launched weapons to ground vehicle and aircraft-mounted weapons. These weapons enable the armed troops, ground-vehicles, and fighter aircraft to counter and defeat the small, medium-sized, and main battle tanks (MBTs), even at greater ranges.

The global market is driven by various factors such as the growing military expenses in several countries and increasing procurement of anti-tank missiles. Additionally, the introduction of long-range anti-tank missiles and R&D investments on the existing weapon systems drive the global market.

Segmentation of the Global Anti-Tank Missile Market  

Based on type, the global market has been divided into man-portable and vehicle-mounted. The man-portable segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018 and is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, 2019 to 2025. A man-portable anti-tank missile, also called as shoulder-launched anti-tank missile, dominates the global market. These systems are compact and lightweight and can be carried by one soldier. The complete kit includes the missile, launcher, tripod assembly, and required optics. The man-portable anti-tank missile system is intended to destroy manpower, stationary, and mobile armored vehicles.

Based on platform, the global market has been segregated into airborne and ground-based. The ground-based segment accounted for a larger market share in 2018 and is expected to witness a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The growing adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles is expected to drive the segment growth. The ground-based anti-tank missiles are designed to be launched from the ground, via armored vehicles or soldiers. These missiles can efficiently strike and defeat their ground-based targets (such as heavily armored tanks and other armored fighting vehicles). Hence, the segment is expected to propel during the forecast period.

Based on the region, the market has been categorized as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America is estimated to acquire the most significant market share in 2018. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing terrorism and border threats in the region drive the demand in the region. Moreover, countries such as China, India, and Japan have been spending extensively on the anti-tank missiles, in recent years. Hence, the market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period in Asia-Pacific.
