Published On: May 7, 2020

The global body armor market size is projected to reach USD 3.0 billion by 2025, according to a new report published by Million Insights, with a CAGR of 5.5% from 2019 to 2025. The emergence of warfare has considerably become asymmetric and consists of counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism. These conditions further prevail in the law enforcement division, wherein, criminals, law offenders, and felons can severely injure police officers thus, establishing the need for body armors.

The rise in warfare is fueling the demand for better ballistic protection products to protect the armed forces. Developing countries like China, India, and South Korea are focusing on replacing the conventional military equipment. Modernization methods have opened new avenues for market participants. Manufacturers are also merging with various military agencies on a contractual basis to acquire a competitive advantage.

Technological innovations have bolstered the body armor market growth thus, increasing the demand for products like dragon skin and liquid body armor. Moreover, the need for double-sided enclosed uniforms and modular tactical vests is rising because of its advantages like higher protection.

The established market players are increasing spending on R&D activities to produce advanced fabrics, nanotechnology materials, and fibers to provide effective body armors. The application of modular tactical vests has increased and these are replacing the traditional outer tactical vests (OTVs) that control an officer’s efficiency to carry extra assault loads like grenades and firearms.
