Increasing government awareness of the need to enhance active and passive safety measures, and safeguard paramilitary forces, military personnel, and citizens against terrorist attacks is further expected to propel market growth. Efforts to reduce the weight of ballistic protection equipment are also contributing to market expansion. Moreover, nations prioritizing national security and safety have led to a surge in demand for ballistic protection equipment, further boosting the market growth.

The global ballistic protection materials industry size is projected to attain a valuation of US$ 12.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 24 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.

The market is expected to be driven by increasing geopolitical tensions and terrorism worldwide. Ballistic protection materials offer essential safety against bullets, hazardous materials, and other threats such as falling glass and explosive chemicals. Moreover, factors like the focus on enhancing soldier survivability, rising defense expenditure and the demand for innovative gadgets drive the market growth.

The demand for ballistic protection material is expected to rise due to the rising demand for aramid materials, driven by their advantageous qualities like flexibility, strong resistance, and lightweight. Further, aramid is particularly well-suited for shooting protection, ensuring the security and safety of boundary troops. Prominent aramid products such as Twaron, Kevlar, and Nomex are widely used in the production of helmets, vehicle armor, body armor, and tactical vests.
