A bulletproof vest refers to a protective covering worn to shield the body against bullets and shrapnel. It protects soldiers from bomb explosions by absorbing the force and preventing the attack from penetrating the body. Based on type, bulletproof vest is categorized into soft and hard bulletproof vests. Soft bulletproof vests protect against small-caliber rounds from handguns, whereas hard bulletproof vests are widely utilized in military combat, counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, hostage rescue missions, etc.
The elevating geopolitical tension and the growing threat of terrorist attacks are creating an increasing need for civilian and military protection, which is primarily driving the global bulletproof vest market. Furthermore, the escalating demand for military modernization to enhance national security along with the rising focus on minimizing casualties during combat situations, is also propelling the market growth. Several government bodies and defense organizations are rapidly adopting next-generation weaponry systems, such as novel bulletproof vests, to support and improve the survivability of military troops. For instance, in 2020, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced its plan to procure around 1.4 million units of high-quality body armor over the next two years. Additionally, the growing penetration of bulletproof vests for numerous commercial security applications, such as retail security, healthcare security, and transportation security, is also bolstering the global market. Moreover, the escalating consumer awareness regarding environmental degradation is bolstering the adoption of bulletproof vests made out of plant-based materials and sustainable alternatives. This, in turn, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the introduction of lightweight vests with increased mobility produced through the integration of advanced technologies, such as 3D printing and the use of composite materials, is anticipated to bolster the global bulletproof vest market in the coming years.
