Market Overview:
The global vehicle ceramic armor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance armor solutions in military and commercial vehicles. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are increasingly being used in vehicle armor applications as they offer superior ballistic performance as compared to other materials such as metals and polymers. In addition, the growing demand for armored vehicles from militaries across the world is also contributing to the growth of this market. The global vehicle ceramic armor market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is divided into boron carbide ceramic, silicon carbide ceramic, alumina ceramic, CMCs (ceramic matrix composites), and others. On the basis of application, it is classified into military vehicles and commercial vehicles segments. Regionally speaking, North America dominates this market followed by Europe due To stringent regulations pertaining ballistic protection in these regions coupled with rising demand for armored vehicles from militaries across these regions Asia Pacific holds immense potential for growth duringthe forecast period owingto increasing expenditure on defense by countries such as Chinaand Indiaand rising numberof terrorist attacksin South Asiaregion .
Product Definition:
A type of armor that is made from ceramics, which are materials that are hard and brittle. Vehicle ceramic armor is used in armored vehicles to protect the occupants from gunfire and explosions. It is important because it can protect the vehicle and its occupants from serious injury or death.
Boron Carbide Ceramic:
Boron carbide ceramic is a material that contains boron, carbon and oxygen. It has properties similar to tungsten carbide but with more flexibility. Boron Carbide Ceramic can be used in various applications including armor plate for vehicles, heat sinks & radiation shields and high-speed projectiles.
Silicon Carbide Ceramic:
Silicon carbide ceramic is a material that consists of fine particles of silicon and carbon. It has superior properties such as high thermal conductivity, compressive strength, hardness, and electrical resistivity. Silicon carbide ceramic is used in applications where high-temperature resistance is required.
Vehicle armor made up of silicon carbide ceramic exhibits superior performance against penetrating ballistic impacts owing to its characteristics such as extreme toughness.
Application Insights:
The commercial vehicle segment led the global vehicle ceramic armor market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for passenger vehicles in developing countries, such as India, China and Brazil. In addition, stringent regulations on safety imposed by regulatory authorities across countries are boosting product demand for commercial vehicles.
For instance, Euro NCAP has set standards regarding safety equipment for commercial vehicles which are designed to protect drivers and passengers from injuries caused by flying shards during accidents with metal-on-metal impactors or without any impactors at all (side airbags). Such initiatives are expected to increase the adoption of these products in medium & heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCVs) across European markets over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 30% in terms of revenue and is likely to witness significant growth owing to increasing demand from countries such as China, India, South Korea, Japan among others.
The growing automotive industry across Asia Pacific has led to an increase in demand for vehicle ceramic armors across various applications including military vehicles and commercial vehicles. This can be attributed to rising investments by governments towards developing advanced defense systems along with increasing spending on passenger cars & light commercial vehicles production globally.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance armor systems in military vehicles
- Growing concerns over vehicle vulnerability to improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs)
- Proliferation of advanced ceramic materials with improved ballistic properties
- Rising demand for armored vehicles from emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil
- Technological advancements that enable the development of more effective ceramic armor systems
