The bulletproof tires market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.18 billion in 2025 to $1.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to widespread adoption of ballistic helmets for military and law enforcement personnel, development of aramid fiber helmets for lightweight protection, integration of modular integrated communications systems in helmets, rising use of bump helmets for non-ballistic impact protection, implementation of personnel armor systems for ground troops.
The bulletproof tires market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for advanced multi-threat ballistic helmets, rising adoption of lightweight and high-durability composite materials, focus on ergonomic and mission-specific helmet designs, increasing procurement for specialized operations and high-risk security deployments. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of reinforced kevlar and composite inserts, increasing demand for run-flat technology in security fleets, rise in customization of ballistic tire solutions for vip vehicles, higher use of multilayer laminated structures for improved resistance, expansion of bulletproof tire usage in commercial and law enforcement vehicles.
The rising defense budgets are expected to drive the growth of the bulletproof tires market. Defense budgets represent the financial resources allocated by governments to support military operations, personnel, equipment, and defense infrastructure. Increasing defense spending is largely fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions and regional security challenges worldwide. Such budgets support the development and procurement of advanced bulletproof tire technologies for military and security vehicles, enhancing operational readiness by ensuring mobility and safety in combat and high-risk environments. For example, in April 2024, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a Sweden-based research organization, reported that global military spending rose from approximately $2.29 trillion in 2022 to $2.44 trillion in 2023, reflecting a 6.8% year-over-year increase. Consequently, growing defense budgets are driving demand for bulletproof tires.
Leading companies in the bulletproof tires market are emphasizing the creation of advanced technologies such as run-flat tire systems to improve safety, mobility, and durability under challenging conditions. Run-flat tire systems enable vehicles to continue driving for a limited distance at reduced speeds even after losing air pressure from punctures or ballistic damage. For example, in September 2024, Radar Tyres, a brand under Singapore-based Omni United Pte. Ltd., launched the Renegade A/T Sport - a run-flat, bulletproof all-terrain tire - in South Africa. This tire is designed specifically for armored vehicles and security operations in rugged terrains. Features include reinforced sidewalls, puncture-resistant technology, and advanced tread designs that enhance durability, traction, and safety on both urban and off-road surfaces. This product launch broadens Radar Tyres’ lineup of specialized military- and security-grade tires, providing improved protection and mobility for defense and other high-risk transport uses.
In October 2025, TVS Srichakra, an India-based tire manufacturer, acquired Super Grip Corporation for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to enhance TVS Srichakra’s portfolio in specialty and high-performance tires by incorporating Super Grip’s expertise in bulletproof and armored tire solutions. Super Grip Corporation is a US-based company specializing in the design and production of bulletproof and high-security tires for defense, law enforcement, and specialized commercial vehicles.

Bulletproof tires are specially engineered tires reinforced to withstand punctures and remain functional even after being shot or damaged. They are commonly built with tough materials such as Kevlar or polymer inserts. The primary purpose of these tires is to ensure continued vehicle movement in dangerous conditions, allowing escape or mobility during attacks or emergency situations.
The main categories of bulletproof tires include run-flat tires, self-sealing tires, bullet-resistant tires, and airless tires. Run-flat tires are specifically designed to operate even after a puncture or loss of air pressure. These tires are constructed using a range of materials, such as polymer-based compounds, metal composites, Kevlar reinforcements, and carbon nanotubes. Bulletproof tires are distributed through various sales channels, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket, and are used in diverse applications like military vehicles, law enforcement vehicles, luxury and personal cars, and commercial transport. The end users include the military, law enforcement agencies, VIP protection services, and civilians.
