America
The
market for body armors is primarily driven by factors such as
implementation of Soldier Modernization Programs across various
countries. Major innovations are being witnessed in the body armor
market as various manufacturers are designing body armors with
futuristic requirements such as survivability, sustainability,
mobility and lethality. Various countries have adopted the Soldier
Modernization Programs in the past few years as a result of which the
demand for body armors is expected to be high throughout the forecast
period. Another factor responsible for the growth of the body armor
market is the increasing instances of terrorists’ attacks in
various countries. The growth of the jihadist movements especially in
the Middle East countries has also fuelled the demand for body
armors. Terrorist organizations such as ISIS, AL-Oaida and Hizbollah
among others are constantly conducting coordinated country-wide
attacks against the government. The deployment of the army and law
enforcement forces in huge numbers to tackle the increasing threats
from the various terrorist organizations is expected to propel demand
of the body armor market. Furthermore, the adoption of the advanced
variants of body armors by various defense bodies globally has led to
an increase in the demand for body armors.
As per recent trends, it has been observed that,
there has been an increasing focus on the part of various
manufacturers to develop and design body armors that are lighter and
flexible. Moreover, the manufacturers are using advanced ballistic
materials to enhance the survivability. For example, Moratex, a
Polish company has developed a new type of bulletproof vest that is
filled with a special type of non-Newtonian fluid, which the company
is calling Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF). Various military and law
enforcement agencies are seeking to replace the older body components
