Ceramic Armor Market

Ceramic Armor Market Growth (2023-2028)

The ceramic armor market was assessed to be USD 3.9 billion in 2022, and with a CAGR of about 12.8% over the foreseen period, the market is likely to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2028.

The ongoing soldier modernization program was initiated by several governments worldwide and this is increasing the sales of ceramic armor. The first concern associated with law enforcement for the military sector is the protection of the soldiers against high-velocity striking bullets and establishing a bullet's potential for damage, bombs, etc., for the protection proposed. As compared to steel, ceramics will be a better alternative to achieve the needed performance like body armor. Ceramics have a larger favorable or superior position in terms of weight and design flexibility. The new innovations in the manufacturing of ceramic armor are predicted to design body armor with distinctive attributes or aspects of something like survivability, sustainability, and mobility which will help the soldiers.
