large an area as possible. Hard armors are comparatively thicker and more rigid. This type is made from polymer composites reinforced with steel and ceramics. The defense sector holds a major share of the global ballistic materials market due to increasing conflict among countries across the globe. Factors such as increasing number of terror attacks and growing regional violence is anticipated to propel the demand for ballistic protection materials higher. Soft armors are witnessing huge demand in recent years which is expected to increase in the next few years. Due to rising demand for soft armor, the global companies are largely investing in R&D activities in a bid to develop and manufacture light weight and composite materials, which can be employed in the manufacturing of ballistic protective equipment. It was also observed that there is huge demand for ballistic protective materials in the up-armored vehicles due to their enhanced capability to bear the high piercing ballistic impact during wars. Factors such as increasing rivalry among countries, growing armed conflicts, and cross border threats are driving the demand for ballistic materials market higher in the manufacturing of different protective gear and armors such as ballistic helmets, armored vehicles, ballistic shields, and bulletproof vests or jackets. A key challenge for this market lies in the weight of the armor. The conventional armor is composed of metals such as steel and iron which increases its weight further. This hinders the mobility and flexibility of the armor, hence enabling new entrants to enter into the market with new technologies and materials, which are light in weight and possess high strength.
