Body Armor Plates Market Analysis by Industry Growth, Size, Share, Demand, Trends and Research Report, 2021-2028

The global body armor plates market size was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2019 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2020 to 2027. The body armor plates function as a shield and provide a protection layer in protection suits. They are typically made from a combination of ceramics and bullet-resistant fabrics or materials. 

 

The growing number of soldiers' casualties and inflicting fatal injuries due to the rising terrorism and hostile activities around the world propels the need for ballistic protection suits for safeguarding armed forces. The rise in asymmetric warfare activities and cross-border tension worldwide pushes several governments to go for soldier's modernization program to increase soldier's survivability. The program includes the acquisition of modern protection equipment and shields for the armed forces. The modernization program has also created several opportunities for industry participants, leading to alliances with military agencies in a contractual environment. For instance, in July 2019, KDH Defense Systems, a U.S.-based body armor manufacturer, received two separate delivery orders worth USD 40.0 million from the U.S. Armed Forces.

The technological advancements and the increasing availability of lightweight body armor globally are expected to drive the market for body armor plates 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. It is 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, thus, protects soldiers from being shot. Further, to ease discomfort and reduce the fatigue that reduces the soldier's tactical effectiveness, enhanced body armor systems are being developed. Sensor Products Inc. is developing a body mapping pressure system called Tactilus that will help designers and engineers build ballistic protection suits capable of optimally distributing the soldiers' load.

Access Press Release @ https://www.grandviewresearch.com/press-release/global-body-armor-plates-market

Level IV body armor plate led the market for body armor plates and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 25.0% in 2019. This segment is anticipated to grow at a noticeable rate over the forecast period. This growth is attributable to the fact that the introduction of the final version of NIJ (National Institute of Justice) Standard 0101.07 is anticipated to improve the test methods and the performance requirements for the ballistic resistance levels. Besides, the new NIJ standard is expected to bring new threat levels for rifle protection levels. The increased vulnerability to the rifle protection levels is expected to contribute to the growth of the level IV armor plate.

 

The market for body armor plates is highly concentrated and competitive due to leading vendors to offer advanced products, thereby driving internal rivalry. The key players are striving to increase their customer portfolio to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Hence, they are focusing on expansion activities such as collaborations, partnerships, and mergers & acquisitions. For instance, in August 2019, Avon Rubber p.l.c. acquired 3M’s ballistic protection unit and rights to the Ceradyne brand. This acquisition was a strategic initiative to win the U.S. Army’s contract for body protection plates.
