NEW YORK, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new comprehensive report from The Insight Partners, the global ballistic protection market is observing healthy growth owing to the demand from rising global military expenditure across different regions.
The ballistic protection market is expected to reach USD 16.27 billion in 2024 and reach USD 23.69 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 to 2031. Geopolitical tensions and rising defense budgets remain the main factors in ballistic protection market demand.
Nations prioritize the modernization of their armed forces, investing heavily in advanced protective systems for personnel, vehicles, and infrastructure. This trend is particularly pronounced in North America, which leads the largest market share due to its high defense spending, technological leadership, and ongoing military engagements. Simultaneously, Asia Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region, driven by increased military expenditures in China, India, and Southeast Asia and heightened security concerns stemming from regional disputes and terrorism.
The report runs an in-depth analysis of market trends, key players, and future opportunities. Rising geopolitical tensions, increased defense budgets, and a growing demand for advanced, lightweight protective solutions across military, law enforcement, and civilian sectors drive the growth.

Overview of Ballistic Protection Market Report Findings
- Growing Demand from Law Enforcement and Homeland Security: Heightened concerns over terrorism, violent crimes, and civil unrest are compelling law enforcement agencies and homeland security departments to prioritize the acquisition of advanced ballistic protection. Police forces, special operations units, and border security agencies are increasingly equipping personnel with state-of-the-art ballistic vests, helmets, shields, and armored vehicles. The need to safeguard critical infrastructure and respond effectively to active shooter incidents or terrorist attacks has led to increased government funding for public safety initiatives.
Homeland security agencies also invest in protective solutions for border patrols and critical asset protection. This trend is especially pronounced in North America and Europe, where public safety remains a top priority. The ongoing threat landscape ensures that demand for ballistic protection in law enforcement and homeland security will remain robust, supporting sustained market expansion. - Increasing Military Expenditure Worldwide: The growing military expenditure across different countries is another major factor pushing the market growth and is likely to generate new opportunities for market vendors in the coming years. For instance, below are mentioned the military spending of top 5 military spending countries worldwide:

Conclusion
The global ballistic protection market is segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). North America accounted for the largest market share in 2024. Personal protection equipment, including body armor, helmets, and shields, remains dominant, reflecting widespread adoption among military and law enforcement agencies.
However, vehicle protection equipment is the fastest-growing segment, propelled by increased procurement of armored vehicles and the need to safeguard personnel against improvised explosive devices (IEDs), anti-tank weaponry, and ballistic threats. Among materials, composites and aramid fibers are most prevalent, while advanced ceramics and composites register the highest growth rates due to their superior strength-to-weight ratios and multi-hit capabilities. Military applications continue to account for the largest market share. Still, homeland security and civilian/commercial uses are expanding rapidly, fueled by rising concerns over terrorism, violent crime, and personal safety.
Industry leaders such as BAE Systems, Honeywell, DuPont, Rheinmetall, and Saab maintain their positions through strategic partnerships, continuous R&D, and a focus on integrated solutions. At the same time, smaller, agile firms are carving out niches with rapid prototyping, customer-centric design, and collaborations with academic institutions to explore next-generation materials.
