The rising demand for armor suits from defense and law enforcement agencies worldwide increases the market growth. Also, emerging economies, such as India and China, are increasingly focusing on replacing legacy military equipment and increasing their defense budget.
The PLA has decided to procure protection armor due to cross-border conflicts with neighboring countries. Furthermore, the rising crime and riot instances in the civil part of society worldwide increase the need for personal security and safety among residents.
Thus. The demand for protection plates increases, especially among jewelry store owners, embassy personnel overseas, executive protection personnel, and people residing in crime-prone areas. Moreover, several schools across the U.S. have been impacted by shootings in the past few years.
The incidents have led to the deaths of many faculty members and students. Thus, various proposals have been made to use body armor for both the students and faculty members. For instance, bulletproof backpacks have been tested in the global market for use by students.
In recent years. The industry witnessed a surge in product demand due to its advanced lightweight feature, which gives comfort and flexibility with maximum protection. The new feature is garnering demand from a different armed forces wing.
The use of lightweight materials, such as Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has made body armor plates lighter and more comfortable to wear. This has also led to the development of thinner and more flexible plates, allowing for a greater range of motion. Overall, these advancements in body armor plate technology have greatly improved the protection and product functionality, making it an essential tool for those who face ballistic threats in their line of work.
