The ongoing war in Ukraine continues to impact the defence market and be a key driver for the anti-tank weapons segment. The success they had during the first period of the war made them popular to the point that some considered whether that was the end of the armoured platforms era. However, that would only distort the reality. Anti-tank weapons are indeed a powerful weapon system against armoured targets, buildings and other targets.

They extend ground troops’ lethality to long-ranges and with high accuracy, and that is the reason there is an effort to bring such improved capabilities at the squad and platoon levels. That nevertheless comes at the cost of increased weight which hinders mobility. That is something that unmanned ground and air systems address and in conjunction with technological enablers such as AI.

Anti-tank weapon systems, especially ATGMs address some of the requirements for long-range fires on the battalion level but they are facing strong competition from the loitering munition, which provides an affordable combination of long-ranges, ISR, and advanced engagement tactics.

Due to the war in Ukraine, the anti-tank weapon systems industry faces significant challenges, which are only exacerbated if we add anti-tank ammunition and missiles into the equation. Supply chains and production lines are trying to meet the demand for those items, but they have only just started picking up pace. That is, however, one part of the problem, as making this sustainable requires the industries to make investments and the countries (the buyers) to set up a long-run procurement plan. The anti-tank weapon systems market offers significant opportunities for sales and opportunities for collaborative schemes between the industrial stakeholders, that this report highlights.
