Level IV body Armour plate led the market for body Armour plates in 2021 with a revenue share of more than 25.0%. This segment is expected to grow at a significant rate throughout the forecast period. This increase is because the final edition of NIJ  Standard 0101.07 is expected to improve test techniques and performance standards for ballistic resistance levels. In addition, the new NIJ standard is expected to include additional threat levels for rifle protection. The increased vulnerability to rifle protection levels should contribute to the growth of the level IV Armour plate.

The market is divided into four applications: defense, law enforcement protection, civilians, and others. Body Armor Plates are most commonly used in the defense industry. Body Armor Plates are being used by defense forces to avoid casualties from terrorist operations and militant violence as global tensions rise. Law Enforcement Protection employees are exposed to a variety of hazards that might cause severe harm to the human body. Thus, body Armour plates aid in the prevention of harm and provide additional protection for law enforcement officers.

These authorities face danger during city protests, domestic violence, and other circumstances. In the event of a protocol violation, protection shields come in helpful to avert pandemonium during a civic demonstration. Body Armor plates are not just for military people. Civilians can also use the body Armour plates if they feel the need to. There is also a noticeable increase in civilian demand for protective shields, which contributes to the global Body Armor Plates Market's growth.

The market is classified into UHMWPE, Steel, Aramid, Composite Ceramic, and Others. UHMWPE is an Armour manufactured by attaching Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibers to a sheet of High-Density Polyethylene. These sheets are placed in Moulds and trimmed to shape. These sheets are then subjected to tremendous pressure and heat, which fuses them into a cohesive hard Armour plate. Steel body Armour plates are constructed of steel and protect the body from external threats such as bullets. Aramid plates are made up of heat-resistant fibers with a strong synthetic origin. They are employed in ballistic-rated body Armour.

Through their great hardness and compressive strength, composite ceramic plates are developed for armored vehicles and personal Armour to prevent projectile object penetration. The soft Armour segment led the market, accounting for 45% of global sales. The large share can be attributed to the fact that soft shields, due to their lightweight characteristics, are regarded as appropriate for vocations where flexibility and comfortable mobility are essential. Soft Armour, Soft Armour is popular among military troops since it is less in weight. Soft Armour also provides significant protection against combat risks such as ballistic bullets and pieces from explosions.

Demand for armor is likely to rise as technology advancements and modernization initiatives encourage security agencies and armed units to purchase cutting-edge equipment. When opposed to soft Armour, hard forms are typically heavier and thicker. It has plates made of titanium, steel, or ceramic that can withstand high-caliber bullets. It also provides a better level of protection than the softer product types. Furthermore, due to the growing popularity of helmets bulletproof bags, and backpacks, the accessories segment is predicted to develop at the fastest CAGR of 6.0%.

The overt category led the market, accounting for more than 85 percent of global revenue. The high proportion can be linked to Kevlar's use of overt body armors, which provide greater protection from huge spikes/blades and heavy gunfire. Overt body armors are worn on top of clothing and are frequently larger and heavier due to the use of many Kevlar layers. Furthermore, covert body armors are predicted to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. This expansion can be attributed to the growing demand for lightweight body armor with superior ballistic protection.

This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.
