Topics examined in the report include; regional market opportunities; government and military R&D investment priorities; the key challenges facing armoured vehicle manufacturers over the next decade and armoured vehicle design requirements.

"The flashpoints of the latter half of 2014 - the Ukraine crisis, a hot conflict in Gaza, the brutal rise of ISIL in Iraq and Syria, and the territorial clashes between China and its neighbours - make it one of the more eventful years in recent memory for global security," said Andrew Elwell, Editor at Defence IQ and co-author of report. "The economic pressures choking military budgets in Western countries these last few years remain, but governments and defence ministries are finding the funds to bolster military capabilities where necessary. The outlook for the armoured vehicle market is more compelling than it has been since the 2008 economic downturn triggered widespread anxiety and the post-Iraq hangover that resulted in sluggish demand and supply."

"The report highlights that the market is never certain from one year to the next, primarily because it is reactive to the demands of the unpredictable operational environment," said Richard de Silva, Head of Communications and co-author. "While confidence in the once burgeoning African and Middle Eastern markets appears to have slowed, confidence is returning in the European market."

The 67-page report has been coordinated with the forthcoming International Armoured Vehicles XV conference and exhibition, which is set to take place on January 26-29 at Twickenham Stadium, UK. Download the agenda to learn more about the event, which includes details about the speaker line-up including Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and Minister for Defence, Equipment & Support Philip Dunne.
