Ballistic Protection Materials Market Analysis with Key Players, Applications, Trends and Forecasts

Ballistic protection materials are protective clothing, which is used to defend individuals or soldiers from bullets, ammos and fragments of exploded materials. Additionally, the development of new and more lethal weapons has resulted into requirement for light weight protective clothing, which can increase the mobility, agility of human body, and protect it from severe injuries. Due to increasing demand for better protective clothing and soft armors, the global companies are investing largely in R&D activities to develop and manufacture innovative material, which can be used in the manufacturing of ballistic protective equipment.

In 2015, North America held the largest share (40.2%) in the global ballistic protection materials market. The ballistic protection materials market in the region is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period. The major reasons behind the growth of the ballistic protection materials market is due to increasing internal threats and increasing demand for vehicle armor in commercial vehicle. Europe held the second largest share in global market. Moreover, the demand for ballistic protection materials in Asia-Pacific is expected to increase rapidly, owing to increasing armed conflicts and crossed border threats. Additionally, the defense modernization program implemented by various countries, such as China, India, Philippines, and Malaysia is further boosting the demand of ballistic protection materials.
