Armored vehicles are the security vehicles used for armed forces secured and safe transportation. Traditionally, these vehicles were only possessed by military personnel, law enforcement professionals, and ministers. However, these vehicles are now being used by the major players in the corporate world, VIPs, and celebrities. Armored personnel carriers, armored cars, and battle tanks are major examples of armored vehicles. The global market for armored vehicles has experienced a major spike in the last few years. The growing focus to safeguard the soldiers from external and internal threats is the primary aspect causing an upsurge in the market's growth.Furthermore, the factors such as growing instances of asymmetric warfare and an increase in cross-border conflicts across the globe are also projected to catalyze the market's growth in the coming years. Moreover, the continuous rise of security challenges, technological improvements and developments, and incorporation of the COTS component is also projected to impact the market's growth in the coming years positively. On the other hand, the high cost involved, absence of key OEMs of armored vehicles, and fluctuating raw materials prices may impede the market's growth.COVID 19 AnalysisThe outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has a multi-level impact on the different economies of the global armored vehicle market. The manufacturers of automotive components, parts, and assembly lines have been significantly impacted. The production of the armored vehicle has also slowed down owing to the pandemic situation.The major players in the global armored vehicle market are increasingly adopting various approaches and strategies to resume manufacturing and increase the demand for the vehicles. The joint efforts of the key armored vehicle manufacturers and measures taken by the government will result in significant growth of the market during the forecast years.Market Dynamics of Armored Vehicle
