Global Ballistic Composites Market By Overview

Ballistic Composites are the protective gears and equipment which are demanded by use of the military and police forces. These are lighter, thinner and stronger in nature and have the potential to save lives at war field. These are used in the manufacturing of helmets, body armor, vests, and shield, for tanks, helicopters, and planes. Ballistic composites play a major role in the military sector by providing them with durable and high-quality protective. The most used ballistic composite materials are para-aramids, high molecular weight polyethene, etc. These strengthen the defence units from any external or internal threat or challenges and provide maximum security and safeguard the lives of the soldiers. Ballistic composites increase the chances of soldier's survivability on the war field and against other challenges.

Global Ballistic Composites Market By Dynamics

Major factors fostering the growth of ballistic composites include regional disputes, riots, warfare situations and increasing terrorism across the globe. Expansion of military forces and increasing use of advanced technology in weapon production fosters the growth of ballistic composites market. High dynamic energy absorption, high modulus, strength, excellent thermal properties and other superior features of the ballistic composites is responsible for the growth in the global market. Extensive utilization of ballistic composites in vehicle armour for protection of military personnel inside the vehicle and providing a high level of safety has led to the drastic growth of the ballistic composites market in the application segment. One of the major factors driving the market is the increasing demand from the defence and aerospace industries. The oil and gas industry dominated the market and is expected to grow during the forecast period, owing to the increasing oil and gas activities across the world. Increasing R&D and mass production of ballistic fibres will also help the target market to grow in future. However, the high cost of this equipment is expected to hinder the growth of the ballistic composites market. Complexity in the designing ballistic composite will hamper the target market to grow shortly. The rise in defence expenditures and budgets of many countries and the demand for lightweight materials for protection against ballistic threats are likely to act as opportunities in the future.

Global Ballistic Composites Market By Segmentation

The ballistic composites market is segmented based on the product, fibre type, matrix type, application, and region.

Based on fibre type, the global ballistic composites market is segmented into the aramids, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethene (UHMPWPE), s-glass, and others. The aramid fibre segment is expected to hold the largest market share due to its growing use in helmets, vests and shields. Based on the matrix type, the global market is classified into polymer, polymer-ceramic, and metal. Polymer matrix used in ballistic applications has low weight, high friction, and temperature resistance properties. Polymer matrix ballistic composites are considered the material of choice for various applications such as body vest, protective garments, and helmets. Owing to the advantageous properties offered, polymer matrix composites were estimated to be the largest segment of the ballistic composites market. Based on application, the target market is bifurcated into vehicle armour, body armour, helmet and face protection, and others. Vehicle armours go into ground vehicles, sea vehicles, and helicopters. Increasing warfare across the world is increasing the demand for military vehicles required in warships, which is likely to increase the demand for vehicle armour during the forecast period.

Based on the region the ballistic composites market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America accounts highest revenue share to the ballistic composites market due to the growing aerospace and defence industrial activities and the increasing need to bring down the cost, lower carbon dioxide emissions, and fuel consumption. Asia Pacific Ballistic Composites market is projected to register a high CAGR over the forecast period. Developing countries in the region are eventually focusing on high-end combat solutions and new technology development with the rising awareness of the life of deployed soldiers and vehicles.
