Press Release

Ballistic Composites Market to Grow with a CAGR of 7.63% through 2030

Rising Global Defense Spending is expected to drive the Global Ballistic Composites Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.

According to TechSci Research report, “Ballistic Composites Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Ballistic Composites Market stood at USD 1.89 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.63% through 2030. Rising global defense spending is a major driver of the ballistic composites market, as countries invest heavily in modernizing their military capabilities and enhancing troop protection. With defense budgets increasing across major economies including the United States, China, India, and NATO members, there is growing demand for advanced protective solutions that offer both performance and weight reduction. This upward trend in defense expenditure is translating into larger procurement of next-generation body armor, vehicle protection systems, ballistic helmets, and structural reinforcement components, all of which rely on high-performance composite materials.

Governments are also placing greater emphasis on domestic production and innovation, creating opportunities for composite manufacturers to expand operations and develop materials that meet evolving ballistic and operational requirements. As military and security agencies prioritize safety, agility, and durability, ballistic composites remain central to defense modernization strategies worldwide.

Global Ballistic Composites Market is segmented into fibre type, matrix type, application, regional distribution, and company.

Based on fibre type, Aramid fibers emerged as the dominating segment in the global market for Ballistic Composites in 2024. This is due to their exceptional balance of high strength, low weight, and proven ballistic protection performance. Materials such as Kevlar and Twaron are specifically engineered to absorb and disperse the energy from ballistic threats, making them ideal for body armor, helmets, and vehicle protection systems. Their thermal stability, resistance to abrasion, and ability to maintain structural integrity under extreme conditions further enhance their suitability for military and law enforcement applications. In addition, continuous innovation by leading manufacturers such as DuPont and Teijin has led to the development of next-generation aramid solutions that offer improved flexibility, comfort, and multi-hit resistance. These advancements, combined with strong brand recognition and established supply chains, have reinforced aramid fibers as the preferred choice for high-performance ballistic protection globally. As defense and security sectors prioritize lightweight, reliable armor systems, aramid fibers remain at the forefront of market demand.

Based on Region, the Asia Pacific emerged as the fastest growing region in the global market for Ballistic Composites in 2024. This is due to a combination of rising defense budgets, regional geopolitical tensions, growing domestic defense manufacturing, and increasing demand for personal protection equipment. Countries such as India, China, South Korea, and Japan are heavily investing in modernizing their armed forces, acquiring advanced armor systems, and developing indigenous defense capabilities under initiatives like India’s Make in India and China's Made in China 2025. The region is also witnessing rapid urbanization and internal security concerns, driving demand for ballistic protection among police forces and paramilitary units. Additionally, the presence of emerging manufacturers and increased collaboration between governments, research institutions, and private defense firms are accelerating innovation and production of lightweight, high-strength ballistic composite materials. These factors, combined with favorable regulatory policies and rising exports, make Asia Pacific the fastest-growing region in the global ballistic composites market.
