Description

Report Overview

Ballistic vests are protective garments designed to absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of projectiles, such as bullets or shrapnel, reducing the likelihood of penetration and injury to the wearer. These vests are primarily constructed from high-performance materials like Kevlar, Dyneema, or ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), which offer a balance of flexibility, durability, and resistance to ballistic threats. They are categorized into soft armor (for handgun rounds) and hard armor (capable of stopping rifle rounds), with protection levels standardized by organizations such as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) in the U.S. or the UK's Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB). Ballistic vests are widely used by military personnel, law enforcement, private security, and civilians in high-risk regions, with advancements in lightweight materials and modular designs driving market innovation.

The global Ballistic Vests market size was estimated at USD 1379.97 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.25% during the forecast period.
