The global bulletproof glass market size reached US$ 7.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 18.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.43% during 2023-2032. The widespread product adoption across aerospace and marine industries and rising security concerns represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Bulletproof glass, also known as ballistic glass or bullet-resistant glass (BR glass), is a strong and optically transparent material that resists penetration by bullets and projectiles. It is made up of transparent materials, such as polycarbonate, acrylic, or glass-clad polycarbonate, that are capable of resistance to any damage. It is made by using layers of laminated glass that absorb the energy from a ballistic impact.
Bulletproof glass is installed in places where violent assaults, such as robberies, are likely to occur, including ATM booths, banks, high-end vehicles, cash trucks, banks, and high-end vehicles that require advanced security features. As a result, it finds extensive applications across the military, automotive, construction, and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industries.
Apart from this, the introduction of advanced bulletproof glass manufactured using additional layers of tempered glass and polycarbonate plastic that is flexible and resilient is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the increasing product utilization in military vehicles and guardhouses, as they face a higher level of threat, is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread application of bulletproof glass in financial institutions and banks, as they are targets of robbery due to large amounts of valuables and money, is positively influencing the market growth.
Besides this, the implementation of various government initiatives to promote the use of bulletproof glass for political and law enforcement protection in the automotive and construction sectors is providing a considerable boost to the market. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of consumers, increasing product adoption in organizations to enhance the safety of the workers, and widespread product installation in malls, retails, and jewelry stores, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
