Global Bulletproof Vest Market to Grow at a CAGR of 6.3% During 2024-2032, Driven by the increased military spending by governments globally.

The increased spending on defence by governments around the world positively influences the bulletproof vest market growth. Combined defence spending in the EU and other European countries accounted for 1.3% of GDP in 2021, and the Indian government’s allocation of USD 73.8 billion for the defence budget makes it the third largest globally.

Bulletproof vests are specialised protective apparel intended to minimise potential harm to the wearer by absorbing or deflecting physical attacks. Bulletproof vests are witnessing extensive application in industries and professions such as the military and defence for increased safety and protection.

The Asia Pacific holds a substantial market share due to the presence of military superpowers such as China, India, and South Korea. Additionally, military modernisation programmes around the world foster the advancement of bulletproof vests.

The continuous development of innovative vest materials drives the growth of the market for bulletproof vest. In April 2023, DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE: DD) launched Kevlar® EXOTM aramid fibre, a significant innovation in aramid fibre and a new technology platform developed to serve infinite applications and strengthen performance and protection in the most extreme and demanding conditions.
