A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Ballistic
Protection Materials
Market. The
study, titled “Ballistic
Protection Materials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share,
Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2023”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
The
ballistic protection materials market is one of the major markets
globally with a huge growth potential. Factors such as increasing
violence and growing terrorism attacks worldwide are generating huge
demand for ballistic protection materials. These materials play a
vital role in offering protection and safety against explosive
chemicals, bullets, mortars, falling glass materials, mines, and
other hazardous materials. The global ballistic protection materials
market can be segmented on the basis of materials as aramid, carbon
fiber composite, glass, lexan, and plastic. On the basis of
application, the ballistic protection materials market can be
segmented into defense, homeland security, commercial, personal
protective equipment, and vehicle armor. On the basis of product
type, the ballistic protection materials market can be segmented into
three categories: soft armor, hard armor, and head gear.

Report Preview:
The
materials primarily employed in the ballistic protection equipment
include aramid, carbon fiber composites, glass, lexan, and plastic.
Aramid accounts for a major share of the global ballistic protection
materials market due to its high strength, durability, and
functionality. Kevlar is one of the renowned brands of aramid
material, and is manufactured by DuPont. This material is in huge
demand among the manufacturers of defense apparels and equipment
globally on account of its high strength, durability, and
lightweight. Kevlar is mainly utilized for making protective vests,
body armor, helmets, and up-armored vehicles. Kevlar is composed of
elongated molecular chains of poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide,
which enhance its strength by five times as compared to steel.
In
the product type, soft armor offers features such as light weight,
high flexibility, and high shear strength. On exposure to higher
impacts, the high modulus of elasticity of the soft armor allows the
energy generated through impact to dissipate over as large an area as
possible. Hard armors are comparatively thicker and more rigid. This
type is made from polymer composites reinforced with steel and
ceramics.
The
defense sector holds a major share of the global ballistic materials
market due to increasing conflict among countries across the globe.
Factors such as increasing number of terror attacks and growing
regional violence is anticipated to propel the demand for ballistic
protection materials higher. Soft armors are witnessing huge demand
in recent years which is expected to increase in the next few years.
Due to rising demand for soft armor, the global companies are largely
investing in R&D activities in a bid to develop and manufacture
light weight and composite materials, which can be employed in the
manufacturing of ballistic protective equipment. It was also observed
that there is huge demand for ballistic protective materials in the
up-armored vehicles due to their enhanced capability to bear the high
piercing ballistic impact during wars. Factors such as increasing
rivalry among countries, growing armed conflicts, and cross border
threats are driving the demand for ballistic materials market higher
in the manufacturing of different protective gear and armors such as
ballistic helmets, armored vehicles, ballistic shields, and
bulletproof vests or jackets. A key challenge for this market lies in
the weight of the armor. The conventional armor is composed of metals
such as steel and iron which increases its weight further. This
hinders the mobility and flexibility of the armor, hence enabling new
entrants to enter into the market with new technologies and
materials, which are light in weight and possess high strength.
