Armor Materials Market Analysis

The Armor Materials Market size is estimated at USD 14.55 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 20.43 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.03% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Due to COVID-19-related lockdown restrictions, many manufacturing industries came to a halt. However, several armor manufacturing companies, such as TenCate Advanced Armor and NP Aerospace, continued to run their production by re-organizing, ensuring the safety of employees, and following government regulations to provide continuous supply to customers. Such unhindered production boosted the armor materials market during the pandemic.

  • Over the short term, the development of body armor and advanced weapons and increasing homeland security concerns are major factors driving the growth of the market studied.
  • However, high cost of production of defense products are likely to restrain the growth of the studied market.
  • Nevertheless, increasing defense budget and rising military modernization programs are likely to create lucrative growth opportunities for the global market soon.
  • North America dominated the market, holding the largest share, and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
