The report also provides written analysis on the market definition, market segments, and SWOT analysis (market strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats).
The market study aims at estimating the market size and the growth potential of this market. Topics analyzed within the report include a detailed breakdown of the global markets for ballistic protection by geography and historical trend. The scope of the report extends to sizing of the ballistic protection market and global market trends with market data for 2024 as the base year, 2025 and 2026 as the estimate years with projection of CAGR from 2027 to 2032.
The report also features a list of the top ten largest global players in the market. A review of each company includes 1) an estimate of the market share, 2) a listing of the products and/or services in the market, and 3) the features of these products and/or services in the market. The report has a chapter on Comparative Business Strategies for the largest four players. An example of the Comparative Business Strategies analysis would be -- How does Netflix's business strategy to expand its market share in the global online streaming compare to Amazon Prime's business strategy through its video products and services?
The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
BAE Systems, Saab AB, Rheinmetall, TenCate Advanced Armor, and DuPont are among the leading global companies in ballistic protection, each supplying a mix of personal armor, vehicle and platform protection, and advanced materials that underpin modern ballistic solutions. BAE Systems delivers integrated protection systems and platforms for military customers through extensive R&D and government contracting experience, with strengths across air, land and naval segments. Saab provides specialized defense and civil security solutions including protective systems and sensors for manned and unmanned platforms, leveraging systems-integration capabilities and a broad defense portfolio. Rheinmetall designs and manufactures vehicle systems, weapons, munitions and composite/ceramic armor modules for active and passive protection across land and maritime domains. TenCate Advanced Armor focuses on advanced composites, ceramics and integrated armor systems for personnel, vehicles and airborne platforms, offering lightweight ballistic shields and modular armor solutions. DuPont, a major materials supplier, produces aramid fibers (e.g., Kevlar) and high-performance laminates used widely in soft armor, helmets and hybrid composite panels that form the core of many ballistic products.
Point Blank Enterprises (including brands such as Point Blank Body Armor, Paraclete and Protective Apparel), Avon Protection, Honeywell (materials business), Safariland/Cadre Holdings and Gentex/Gentex’s helmet and protective systems business represent major commercial and government-facing suppliers that cover finished protective equipment and underlying component technologies. Point Blank supplies body armor systems and integrated protective solutions to military, federal and international law enforcement customers via a portfolio of brands and manufacturing capabilities geared to large defense contracts. Avon Protection specializes in life-critical head and respiratory protection for military, first responders and police, with a global footprint in ballistic helmets and integrated head systems. Honeywell supplies engineered materials such as Spectra and other ballistic fabrics used in flexible and composite armor laminates. Safariland and its parent group Cadre Holdings bring together multiple body-armor and duty-gear brands to supply vests, holsters and tactical equipment optimized for law enforcement and corrections markets. Gentex develops helmet systems, ballistic face protection and situational-awareness integration for both aviators and ground forces, often coupling head protection with communications and sensor mounts.
Other notable companies and material suppliers that shape the ballistic protection ecosystem include Teijin, Hyosung, Avient (Dyneema portfolio) and various specialty ceramic and fiber producers that supply end-product manufacturers with critical raw materials and high-performance laminates. Teijin and Hyosung are major aramid and high-performance fiber producers whose materials are widely used in soft armor and hybrid composite panels for weight-optimized protection. Avient, through acquisitions such as the Dyneema business, supplies ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) laminates that enable very high energy absorption at low weight, favored for plates and flexible armor overlays. Collectively, these ten-plus companies form an interdependent value chain—from raw high-performance fibers and ceramics to integrated helmets, plates, vests and vehicle-applique armor—serving military, law enforcement, VVIP and commercial markets worldwide.
