The flat growth in the U.S. market is due to the end of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The market is expected to continue remain flat throughout the study period, as the possibility of another war in the Middle East is highly unlikely. 

India is expected to grow its shoulder fired anti-tank market from $172.80 million in 2014 to $302.80 million in 2020 at an estimated CAGR of 10%. The Indian market will be driven by India's military modernization program to two threats: China and Pakistan.
