The bullet proof glass market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.76 billion in 2023 to $7.61 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. During the historical period, the rise can be credited to factors such as urban expansion, infrastructure development, government-driven initiatives for public safety, heightened security considerations, global threats from terrorism, a surge in violent crimes, and notable security incidents.

The bullet proof glass market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. In the upcoming forecast period, growth is anticipated due to several factors, including the evolving threat landscape, the implementation of smart city projects, the expansion of high-value assets, and increased usage in defense and military sectors. Additionally, there's a notable emphasis on sustainability, particularly in emerging markets.

The surge in global terrorist activities is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bulletproof glass market. Terrorist incidents, marked by violent actions or threats to coerce populations or governments for ideological motives, have led to increased adoption of bulletproof glass by businesses and governmental bodies.
