The ballistic protection market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.43 billion in 2023 to $14.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to initiatives in military modernization, increased global conflict and instances of terrorism, augmented investment in law enforcement, and a heightened emphasis on enhancing soldier survivability.
The ballistic protection market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. The projected growth anticipates reaching $17.84 billion by 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. This expansion in the forecasted period is driven by escalating concerns regarding asymmetric warfare, the imperative for readiness in urban warfare scenarios, an emphasis on enhancing comfort and mobility, the integration of cybersecurity measures, and the expanding scope of commercial applications.
The rising occurrences of terrorist activities are anticipated to be a driving force behind the ballistic protection market's growth. These activities encompass actions or threats aimed at advancing political, religious, or ideological causes, instigating coercion or intimidation. Ballistic protection serves as a critical means to secure individuals from such threats, thereby contributing to market expansion. Statistics from ReliefWeb in March 2022 revealed a 17% increase in global terrorist attacks, reaching 5,226 in 2021, with Sub-Saharan Africa accounting for nearly half of global terrorism-related fatalities. This surge underscores the imperative role of ballistic protection in combating escalating threats.
The escalation in defense expenditure is poised to fuel the ballistic protection market's advancement. This refers to the allocation of government funds toward military purposes, encompassing the enhancement and maintenance of armed forces, technological advancements, and operational expenses. Heightened defense spending facilitates the development of lightweight, durable materials crucial for creating effective ballistic protection equipment. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reported a 3.7% real-term increase in global military expenditure in 2022, reaching a historic high of $2240 billion. This upswing substantiates the correlation between increased defense spending and the growth of the ballistic protection sector.
