Armored Fighting Vehicle Market Is Segmented By Type, Vehicle, Application, and Region.

2024, wheeled armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) experienced the fastest growth in the Asia-Pacific region, outpacing tracked vehicles due to rising demand for mobility, cost-efficiency, and urban deployment capability. Governments increasingly favored wheeled platforms like APCs, IFVs, and combat support vehicles for their versatility, ease of maintenance, and rapid deployment features. Enhanced suspension systems, blast protection, and modular armor made them ideal for both internal security and cross-border threats. The wheeled segment saw significant procurement surges as militaries sought lighter, more adaptable vehicles to respond swiftly to dynamic conflict zones, especially in urban and rugged environments.

Among all Asia-Pacific subregions, East Asia recorded the highest growth in wheeled AFV adoption. Japan approved new wheeled IFVs and mortar carriers, while South Korea expanded their 8×8 armored fleets to boost rapid-response capabilities. These nations prioritized local production and tactical modernization programs, positioning East Asia as a major hub for advanced wheeled AFV development in 2024.
