INTERNATIONAL
ARMOURED AND MINE-PROTECTED
VEHICLE MARKET
The
108-page International
Armoured and Mine-Protected
Vehicle Market published
in October 2011 is a report
assessing current trends
and future requirements
in the combat armoured
and mine protected vehicle
market from 2011 through
to 2021.
The
pressure on US and Western
defence spending has forced
armoured vehicle programmes
to be cancelled, delayed
or reduced. Yet, there
remains a high demand
for armoured vehicles
with many current platforms
reaching the end of their
service life. It can be
estimated that major programmes
and requirements currently
in place and planned in
the next decade or so
are worth in excess of
USD150 billion.
Some
USD4.1 billion was spent
alone in 2010 on the procurement
of new vehicles, driven
by demand for Mine Resistant
Ambush Protected (MRAP)
vehicles for use in Afghanistan.
Around USD4.0 billion
worth of contracts were
signed covering the upgrade
of existing in-service
vehicles, making it a
particularly lucrative
market in these times
of tightened defence sending.
The US remains the biggest
spender investing in the
procurement of new vehicles
and upgrades.
