Military Truck Market Insights and Updates by 2031
The military truck market size is projected to reach US$ 25,008.05 million by 2031 from US$ 19,138.83 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.4% in 2023–2031. Governments of various countries are working on expanding their military troops to enhance their capabilities. In January 2021, the government of China announced that it would start conducting recruitment drives twice a year from 2021 onward. This proposal was approved by the State Council and the Central Military Commission. The first phase of recruitment will take place from February to March, and the second phase will take place from August to September. Similarly, the Indian government is also working on expanding its military troops to protect its borders from China and Pakistan's invasion. Thus, such growing recruitments in the military forces indicate the need for military trucks to transfer troops, fuel, and equipment along asphalted roads and unpaved dirt roads, thereby driving the growth of the military truck market.
Military Truck Market Analysis
Using the fueled military vehicle can be expensive for the armed forces. The US military has been one of the largest consumers of petroleum, using ~4.2 billion gallons of fuel each year. The Defense Logistics Agencies had to spend over US$ 9 billion on fuel in 2019. Thus, to lessen the spending on fuel, the US Army is leading the way and investing in pilot programs for electric and hybrid vehicles. The new Climate Strategy by the US Army has set a 2027 target to deploy an all-electric, light-duty, nontactical fleet. In addition, they have also set a 2035 target for the deployment of a full all-electric nontactical fleet and hybrid tactical vehicles.
Military Truck Market Overview
Military and defense sectors are heavily investing in advanced technologies to strengthen their capabilities with advanced war machineries and transportation equipment. The countries such as Russia, US, France and others developing advanced military truck for global market. Military trucks manufacturers such as Volvo Defense AB; Tata Motors Ltd; Rheinmetall AG; Oshkosh Corporation; and General Dynamics European Land Systems SLU are leading the market growth. Developing nations such as India, China, Indonesia and others are strengthening their military strength due to rising border clash with neighboring countries. The military trucks are important parts of the military transportation and demand is growing with rising military troops and equipment procurement. The huge investment from the governments and the technological developments from the truck manufacturer is augmenting the market growth. For instance, as per the Oshkosh company, the US Army released its draft requirements for the Common Tactical truck (CTT) in 2021 for the procurement of the 7,000 to 10,000 vehicles worth of US$ 5.1 billion. Such procurement from the governments for the ground vehicles is ultimately supporting the market growth and enhancing the product offering in the market. In addition, the US-based Oshkosh Defense is focusing more on such contract or requirement with the development of advanced propulsion system. For instance, the company has introduced the ProPulse Hybrid Diesel-Electric System for the HEMTT A3 and Medium Tactical Vehicles to improve fuel economy.

Military Truck Market Drivers and Opportunities
Efforts by Companies to Provide High-Mobility and Multipurpose Solutions for Transportation
Modern forces play various roles ranging from providing mission support in battlegrounds to carrying out logistical tasks in the homeland. Military trucks are also used to carry troops, staff, (mounted) weapons, supplies, evacuate wounded soldiers, etc. Furthermore, they are required to deploy military units at different locations to enhance national protection. Thus, the demand for military trucks is rising with the growing number of military missions as they are deployed to move military personnel, equipment, and goods, as well as to carry vehicles and weapons recovered from mission sites. Considering these needs, military truck manufacturers are continuously working on bringing advanced trucks to the market. In November 2019, ARQUUS introduced its new 8×8 carrier at the Forum Entreprise Défense. The new Arquus 8×8 carrier truck is equipped with an Automatic Traction Control (ATC) electronic power train management, providing optimum mobility on all types of terrain. It also helps troupes save on fuel consumption and confers protection against tire and axle wear. In May 2021, Rheinmetall AG launched the latest generation of its HX family of heavy-duty tactical trucks for military use. The truck is fully redesigned with new technologies and military-off-the-shelf (MOTS) products. It features an autonomous driving capability, which can serve as the basis for several artillery systems. Moreover, the truck offers improved protection, reliability and mobility, driving comfort, and digital interface architecture. Owing to these features, this truck can be used to carry out tactical and technical missions. Thus, efforts made by military truck manufacturers to provide high-mobility and multipurpose solutions for transportation boost the growth of the military truck market.
Upsurge in Defense Budget
Governments of various countries continuously focus on strengthening their military capabilities by spending more on the modernization of their operations. According to Global Firepower, the US, China, Russia, India, and Germany are the top 5 nations with the largest defense budget in 2023. In March 2023, the US Department of Defense proposed a request to provide US$ 842 billion to the Department of Defense (DoD) in the defense budget for the fiscal year 2024, which is higher by US$ 26 billion from FY 2023 and US$ 100 billion from FY 2022. Out of this, the US government has allotted US$ 13.9 billion for the modernization of combat equipment used by the US Army and Marine Corps, which include armored multipurpose vehicles, amphibious combat vehicles, and optionally manned fighting vehicles. In addition, US$ 271 million is allotted for the Army to modernize next-generation combat vehicles with silent watch and mobility features, increased operational duration, and more onboard electrical power.
In February 2023, the Government of India announced the allocation of a total budget of US$ 72.64 billion (INR 593,537.64 crore) to the Ministry of Defence, with an increase of 13.0% compared to the amount allocated in 2022. Out of this, capital allocations of US$ 19.9 billion (Rs 162,600 crore) are for the modernization and infrastructure development of defense services, which indicates a rise of 6.7% compared to 2022. Out of this total budget allotted to MoD, ~57% will be for Army. Furthermore, in 2023, the Indian Army received 23% of the total modernization funds among the defense services. Moreover, in March 2023, the government of China announced its official defense budget of ~US$ 224.8 billion for FY 2023, marking a 7.2% increase compared to 2022. According to the defense ministry of the country, the increased defense expenditure helps provide Chinese forces with better training and more advanced equipment. Thus, the growing defense expenditure by governments of different countries would create significant opportunities for the growth of the military truck market during the forecasted period.
