Dublin, Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global armored personnel carrier (APC) market is poised for substantial growth, set to increase from $12.61 billion in 2025 to $13.34 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 5.8%, and projected to reach $16.55 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 5.5%.

The major players in the APC market include Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems plc, Thales Group, and others, with North America being the largest market and Asia-Pacific identified as the fastest-growing region. Geopolitical factors and tariffs impact production costs and procurement timelines, necessitating a strategic focus on domestic manufacturing to mitigate risks and stimulate local industries.
