Market Share of Military Amphibious Vehicle Industry
The military amphibious vehicle market is consolidated in nature due to the presence of a few players holding significant shares in the market. Some of the prominent players in the market are BAE Systems PLC, General Dynamics Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Textron Inc., and Rheinmetall AG. As several nations are planning to develop next-generation amphibious vehicles for their militaries, players are looking to grab such opportunities through technological innovations driven by continuous R&D. The market also witnesses a substantial presence of regional players catering to specific geographical demands. Factors such as product performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness play pivotal roles in shaping the competitive dynamics of the military amphibious vehicle market. Continuous research and development initiatives, coupled with a focus on meeting evolving defense requirements, are key strategies employed by market players to strengthen their positions in this dynamic landscape.
Most of the programs in the industry are long-term. Hence, several large-scale contracts are currently underway to develop and produce advanced amphibious vehicle variants as per end-user specifications. Gaining such contracts will help the players in terms of continuous cash-inflow, thereby helping their sustained growth during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, WFEL signed a contract with the Irish Defence Forces for the supply of the MGB Medium Girder Bridging System. The MGB variant will be supplied complete with handrails, making the system adaptable for military operations as well as disaster relief and emergency scenarios, such as the recent severe flooding situations seen in Europe.
