The launch of next-generation military vehicles with advanced programmable ammunition, reactive armor technology, and others is trending in the market.
Ballistic Protection Market is expected to reach USD 22.4 billion, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during forecast period owing to the increasing demand for aramid material due to its resistance, flexibility, and light weight which is expected to drive the growth of market. Aramid is used in the manufacture of helmets, body armor, vehicle armors etc. The rising awareness in governments to enhance the safety measures to resist terror attacks is anticipated to drive market growth. Ballistic protection of material is decided by efficiency, speed energy absorption capacity locally with which it transfers the acquired energy.
Ballistic Protection Market is classified based on the Platform into Airborne, Land, Marine. Airborne segment is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period as the airborne segment has aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles. The demand for aircrafts in the aviation platforms is high and are usually used by the military personnel. The increasing demand and necessity for the aircrafts from various countries is increasing as the military expenditure is growing and it is anticipated to drive the demand for the growth of the segment in the market.
Ballistic Protection Market is classified based on the Application into Commercial, Homeland Security, Defense. Defense segment is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period due to the growing conflicts nationally and increasing expenditure by defense. Defence utilizes several ballistic protection equipment like helmet, protective vest & jacket, shield, shoes and gloves to shield against chemical explosions and it is expected to drive the demand for the growth of the segment in the market. The increasing demand for novel light materials is increasing and the high capability to tolerate high piercing ballistic impact may drive the segment growth in the market.
Growing Political Conflicts are Expected to Boost the Growth of the Market
The political conflicts and terrorist activities are increasing resulting law enforcement agencies and material science community to provide solutions that aid in protecting movement of vehicles and troops. Political conflicts among several countries are driving the requirement for ballistic protection in military. Domestic disputs in several regions is also increasing the requirement for ammunition which is creating demand for growth of ballistic protection equipment. Body armor is created to prevent the user from negative affect of shotgun on humans as it gives extra protection during accidents and other attacks on police officers.
Increasing Budget in Defence is Expected to Boost the Growth of the Market
Increasing budgets in defense along with growing demand for ballistic protection is anticipated to drive the demand for growth of market. The demand for defense spending has increased. The modern technologies help in strengthening the ease of wearing body armor. The growing demand for ballistic protection results in increased purchase and deliveries. Several merging and acquisitions are leading to rising the sales of ballistic protection during the forecast period. The acceptance of advanced materials with lower weight may enhance the better protection against different forms of threats, thereby boosting the market growth.
High Manufacturing Cost May Restrain the Growth of the Market
The manufacturing of ballistic protection equipment involves high cost as it requires expensive raw materials and it includes stringent norms against the emission of volatile organic compounds during production of ballistic protection equipment which may restrain the growth of the market.
Ballistic Protection Market is segmented based on regional analysis into five major regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa. The North America region dominated the market in 2021 owing the active involvement of military in countries of this region into Middle Eastern conflicts along with the growing threats on terrorist attacks. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period owing to the increasing focus on strengthening defense in countries of this region which are expected to boost the demand for the growth of the market in the forecast period.
The COVID-19 outbreak had resulted in the economic downfall. Several countries had imposed lockdowns and travel bans to control the coronavirus spread. Covid-19 had negatively affected several industries. Covid-19 created demand for ballistic protection products among military forces, security personnel etc. The uncertainty and potential civil unrest during the pandemic increased the need for personal protective equipment, including ballistic protection gear. The restrictions applied on supply of materials, procuring raw materials and trading had negatively affected the market growth. Covid-19 had a negative impact on the growth of the ballistic protection market growth.
