Market Overview:
The global ballistic protective ceramic market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for ballistic protection from various end-use applications, such as body armour, helmets, face protection and vehicle armour. In addition, the growing concerns over safety and security are also fuelling the demand for ballistic protective ceramics globally. Based on type, alumina is expected to account for a major share of the global ballistic protective ceramic market in 2018. This can be attributed to its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent resistance against impact and penetration. Silicon carbide is another key type of ballistic protective ceramic which is witnessing high demand from various end-use applications owing to its superior properties such as hardness, toughness and thermal shock resistance. Regionally, North America dominates the global Ballistic Protective Ceramic Market followed by Europe due rising concerns over safety & security among citizens in these regions .
Product Definition:
Ballistic Protective Ceramic is a ceramic material that has been engineered to provide protection from ballistic threats. It is typically used in body armor and vehicle armor applications. Ballistic Protective Ceramic can withstand high velocity projectiles and fragmentation, making it an effective defense against ballistic threats.
Alumina:
Alumina is a mineral composed of aluminum and oxygen, with the chemical formula (Al2O3)2. It occurs in nature as well as can be manufactured from chemicals. The properties of alumina determine its use in various end-use industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive, energy generation and electronics.
Silicon Carbide:
Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon. It has high melting point and solidifies at 14000 C. Silicon carbide is used in ballistic protective ceramic market owing to its properties such as low density, high compressive strength, thermal conductivity, hardness and electrical resistivity among others.
Application Insights:
The body armours application segment led the global ballistic protective ceramic market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to the increasing use of ceramic materials for manufacturing body armours against handgun, shrapnel and knives among other threats.
Body armour manufactured with BPCs offer high protection against stab wounds as well as low-velocity bullets, owing to its superior stopping power and penetration resistance properties. It is also lightweight, which reduces fatigue on soldiers during long marches or when carrying heavy packs in adverse weather conditions. These factors are likely to increase product demand over the forecast period.
The face protection segment accounted for a significant share in 2017 owing to rising product demand from military applications such as helmets, masks.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global ballistic protective ceramic market in terms of revenue with a share of over 40.0% in 2017. This is attributed to extensive research and development activities undertaken by various military and law enforcement agencies for developing advanced body armors that are lightweight, provide maximum protection to the wearer, and at the same time reduce overall weight of the armor.
Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the fastest-growing regional markets from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for personal protection equipment from countries such as China, India, South Korea among others due to rapid urbanization along with growing crime rate in these countries will drive product demand over next eight years. Moreover, rising tensions between nuclear-armed nations such as India & Pakistan along with other South Asian countries will further boost product demand during forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for ballistic protective ceramic from the defense sector as it offers high protection against ballistic threats.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of ballistic protective ceramic among civilians, which is expected to boost its demand in the near future.
- Rising investments by key players in research and development activities to develop new and innovative products is likely to propel the growth of this market in the coming years.
- The increasing use of ballistic protective ceramic in body armor and helmets is projected to fuel its growth over the next few years.
- Growing popularity of lightweight armor solutions is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for this market during the forecast period
