Body Armor Market: Europe Is Expected To Witness Substantial Growth Over The Over The Forecast Period

 Body Armor Industry Overview

The global body armor market size was valued at USD 2.32 billion in 2020. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2021 to 2028. Technological proliferation is steadily transforming the armor industry. Over recent years, there has been a continuous rise in demand for innovative techniques such as liquid armor, dragon skin, and DEFCON. The demand for modular tactical vests and double-sided combat uniforms is on the rise due to their enhanced protection. Technological advancements and the increasing availability of lightweight armors globally are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, Kevlar vests' liquid armor is an enhanced technology innovated at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to safeguard soldiers' lives. These armors are flexible and light, allowing soldiers to move more and with ease while running or aiming their weapons. It turns into a rigid material once the bullet knocks the armor and protects soldiers from being shot.

The market is susceptible and is governed by various regulations and acts. It is tested by three regulatory bodies, comprising the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), United States Department of Defense (DoD), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL India). Vendors manufacturing and selling armor plates must comply with the standards to test the level of intensity the armor can withstand against any threat. In addition to this, the standards help recognize the strength of the attack that a body armor plate would be able to combat. Regulatory changes to ensure enhanced safety are creating a challenging environment for vendors in the market. Furthermore, specific laws governing body armor ownership and possession, such as the Body Armor Control Act and Body Armor Possession Act 2015, inhibit their largescale adoption in emerging countries such as India.

Modern-day warfare practices include counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism, and guerrilla warfare operations that may injure soldiers, causing fatal injuries. Similar scenarios exist in the law enforcement field wherein criminals, felons, and law offenders can fatally injure corresponding officers, thus necessitating investment in personal body armors and related equipment. Consequently, a rise in military warfare across several regions globally propels the need for ballistic protection suits and equipment for safeguarding military forces. Furthermore, to ease discomfort and reduce the fatigue that reduces the soldier’s tactical effectiveness, enhanced ballistic protection systems are being developed. Sensor Products Inc. is developing a body mapping pressure system called Tactilus that will help designers and engineers build armors capable of optimally distributing the soldiers' load. KDH Defense Systems of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is directing this project through a contract with the U.S. Air Force.

The latest developments achieved in ceramic armors signify the usability of ceramics for lightweight products. Kata Vitec, an Israeli protection solution (including hard armor plates), produces and supplies assault vests with advanced glass-ceramics insert to enable the wearer's unrestricted movement. Additionally, the vests are low in cost and weight. Another example is Pinnacle Armor’s Dragonskin body armor. This armor utilizes bulletproof ceramic leaves, which create flexible layers shaped like fish scales. As a result, the demand for lightweight, comfortable, and improved protection armor material is expected to provide growth opportunities for ceramic armor manufacturers over the forecast period. However, there have also been significant developments in the field of Ultra-high molecular-weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials, enabling the development of products with high ballistic effectiveness. UHMWPE materials have around 40% higher strength-to-weight ratio but cost substantially higher than para-aramid fibers. Owing to these benefits, UHMWPE is expected to gain a significant share among the materials for manufacturing protection shields.
