Impact of Russia-Ukraine War

- The Russia-Ukraine war has exerted a multifaceted impact on the global bulletproof vests market, influencing key aspects of production, demand dynamics, and strategic considerations within the industry.
The soft bulletproof vest segment to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period
Based on type, the soft bulletproof vest segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than half of the global market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. The segment is also expected to register the highest CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to 2032. The soft bulletproof vests segment is witnessing growth due to a greater focus by manufacturers on developing lightweight, flexible fabrics that enhance comfort and reduce fatigue compared to traditional heavy Kevlar-only designs. The wider adoption of soft vests among police forces globally is a major growth factor, as the improved comfort and ergonomics compared to plate carriers allows comfortable all-day use while on patrol duties. Demand from private security personnel, VIPs, and civilians in high-risk occupations that requires concealed protection rather than bulky tactical armor is also propelling market revenue.
