According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Body Armor Market Report by Product Type (Soft Armors, Hard Armors, Helmets, and Others), Type (Covert, Overt), Level (Level II, Level IIA, Level III, Level IIIA, Level IV), Material (Steel, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), Aramid, Composite Ceramic, and Others), Application (Military, Civil, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global body armor market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.59% during 2024-2032. Body armor refers to an essential piece of protective gear designed to protect individuals against ballistic threats, such as bullets, shrapnel, and other high-velocity projectiles. The armor is made of a combination of materials, such as Kevlar, ceramic, and steel, intended to absorb and disperse the kinetic energy of the projectile, reducing the likelihood of injury or death. There are various types of body armor available in the market, including soft and hard armor. Amongst these, soft armor is lightweight and flexible, designed to fit under clothing, while hard armor is rigid and bulky, providing more comprehensive protection but limited mobility. It is commonly used by law enforcement officers, military personnel, security guards, and other professionals who are at risk of encountering assaults, attacks, and ballistic threats in the course of their duties.
Global Body Armor Market Trends:
The extensive spending on defense by numerous countries and security and law enforcement agencies across the globe have facilitated the incorporation of lightweight and high-tech protective gear, such as body armor, in combat environments, which is primarily driving the market growth. Besides this, rising concerns regarding personal safety and security and increasing instances of terrorist activities and cross-border conflicts are aiding in market expansion. Moreover, with rising urbanization, there has been a growing prevalence of crimes and other threats, which, in turn, is presenting remunerative growth opportunities for the market. In addition to this, the escalating product utilization across mental healthcare facilities to improve the safety of healthcare workers from violent and aggressive patients is influencing the market growth. Furthermore, leading market players are employing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and integrating advanced synthetic fibers to develop high-performance, flexible, and lightweight bodysuits and covert products for better wearer protection, which is creating a favorable outlook for the market. In line with this, the advent of three-dimensional (3D) design techniques and customization services to engineer high-quality materials to produce state-of-the-art body armor and the rising popularity of paintball, hunting, target shooting, and outdoor sports activities are contributing to the market growth.
