The North American region currently dominates the global manned anti-tank guided missile system market with an estimated 33.4% share in 2024 owing to the strong presence of key players in the U.S. American companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman have decades of experience in developing leading anti-tank guided missiles for applications of both ground forces and aerial platforms. The defense budgets of the U.S. and Canada are substantially high which enables continual upgrades and modernization of their anti-tank weaponry including manned missile systems. These countries also have robust manufacturing infrastructure and supply chains to support production of varied anti-tank missile variants on large scales.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for manned anti-tank guided missile systems. Countries like India and China are aggressively indigenizing their missile programs which augments regional business prospects. Export orders from other Asian and Middle Eastern countries additionally spurs demand from this region. For instance, China has been actively exporting its HJ-10 and HJ-12 missiles which extends its market influence. Procurement programs in Asia Pacific also incorporate advanced Western systems through government-to-government deals, providing opportunities to global anti-tank firms. Pricing of Asian manufactured missiles tends to be comparatively affordable increasing their appeal amongst emerging economies and armed forces with smaller budgets.

Developing precision strike abilities against enemy armor is pivotal for the military strategies of several APAC nations considering modern warfare trends and conflicts in their vicinity. Local system integrators and defense majors collaborate extensively with global prime contractors to strengthen indigenous R&D and qualify their missiles through rigorous testing protocols. This develops the region's self-sufficiency while stimulating associated spending on manned missile systems and lifecycle support services. Overall, the Asia Pacific region is witnessing intensifying requirements for these solutions in line with its financial capabilities and evolving defense priorities against threats.
