Ballistic Composites Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Raw Material (Polymer Matrix Composite, Polymer-ceramic Matrix Composite, Metal Matrix Composite), End-use (Vehicle Armor, Body Armor), and Region with Growth Forecasts, 2025-2030

The Ballistic Composites Market was valued at USD 1.91 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 3.10 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 7.90%.Governments' focus on enhancing safety and security within defense systems is accelerating the adoption of ballistic composites. These materials offer superior protection while remaining lightweight, making them ideal for military vehicles, armor, and protective gear.

Unstable geopolitical relations and increasing cross-border tensions have forced nations to strengthen their defense units. Providing lightweight, efficient, and advanced combat equipment has been a top priority for most developed and developing countries. This has triggered the use of ballistic composites over the past few years.

Several factors, like the propensity of the composite armor to support the weight of an externally attached component, anchoring composite armor with a platform, and safeguarding ballistic weaknesses at panel joints and corners, are taken into consideration while product design and production are executed.

Ballistic vests are envisioned to deflect bullets from several types of guns, while armored vehicles must withstand projectiles, shells fired from tanks, and roadside bombs. Thus, the layout of ballistic materials presents challenges familiar to any composites manufacturer.

The key value chain components for the ballistic protective equipment market include raw material suppliers, ballistic equipment manufacturers, and end-users. The raw material suppliers form the first component in the value chain and provide various metals, materials, and fabrics required for producing ballistic protection suits.
