Global Ballistic Composites Market Definition

Ballistic composites are specialized materials that are used for manufacturing protective gear, such as vehicle armor, military helmets, body armor, etc. Ballistic composites include materials such as polymers, metals, and polymer-ceramic. Each of these materials is used based on the type of products required. The defense sector is the largest end-user of the ballistic composites sector. Based on the platforms of the defense sector, ballistic composites are classified into land, marine, and aviation.

A maximum number of products manufactured using ballistic composites include products for the land segment. The polymer material is the primary ballistic composite material because of the benefits offered by it. Polymers have superior strength and resistance to temperature and chemical corrosion. Polymers are also flexible, lightweight, and easy to handle compared to metals. Other than military applications, ballistic composites are used for products used by homeland security for peace management, dealing with explosives, and terror attacks.

Global Ballistic Composites Market Overview

The primary growth factors for the Global Ballistic Composites Market include increasing demand for protecting military and security personnel and technological development in the field of defense and composite materials. Safety and protection are the primary concerns when it comes to military and homeland security.
