Smart machines market- Segmentation Assessment

Segment Overview

Technavio has segmented the market based on the type (BPJ and BPH), and product (overt and covert).

• The BPJ segment will account for a significant share of the market’s growth during the forecast period. A BPJ, also known as a ballistic jacket, is a body armor that absorbs impacts and helps reduce or prevent fragmentation due to projectile intrusion from firearms and explosions. BPJ meets the requirements of the defense forces, paramilitary forces, and dignitaries. Defense, paramilitary forces involved in counterterrorism and insurgent activities, and law enforcement organizations are the main consumers of bulletproof clothing (police). The trend of crime, violence, and terrorism is on the rise and so is the demand for bulletproof clothing. The growing use of bulletproof jackets is expected to drive the growth of the segment in the market during the forecast period.

Geography Overview

By geography, the global body armor market is segmented into APAC, Europe, North America, South America, and Middle East and Africa. The report provides actionable insights and estimates the contribution of all regions to the growth of the global residential real estate market.

• APAC is estimated to contribute 54% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. India is a major exporter of sophisticated bulletproof jackets and helmets to about 250 troops in more than 100 countries, especially to the British, German, Spanish, and French troops and to the US and Japanese police forces. The bulletproof jackets manufactured in India under the Make in India initiative comply with the IS17051:2018 standards formulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Apart from the US, the UK, and Germany, India is the only country with its national standard on bulletproof jackets. The BIS-certified jackets are available in different sizes and ensure 360-degree protection against bullets fired from assault rifles such as AK-47s, which have a traversing speed of 700 meters per second. Moreover, the rampant threat of terror attacks has encouraged the Indian government to procure critical protective equipment for the defense forces. Therefore, owing to such factors the regional market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Smart machines market– Market Dynamics

Leading Drivers – The emergence of lightweight raw materials is notably driving the market growth. Vendors are focusing on using lightweight materials in the manufacturing process. For instance, Fibrotex, in collaboration with Israel Defense Forces, developed FIGHTEX, next-generation two-sided combat uniforms made of lightweight smart fabric. These uniforms use advanced materials that enhance soldiers’ survivability during critical missions. These lightweight uniforms are fire-resistant and can be integrated with a range of other items, including Jackets, load carriers, and winter uniforms. With the increasing adoption of lightweight materials, the demand for lighter armor increases due to their advantages. This is expected to foster the growth of the market during the forecast period..

Key Trends – Innovations in materials used for bulletproof jackets are the primary trend in the market. There have been significant advancements in body armor, such as bulletproof jackets in recent years. The traditional forms of bulletproof jackets are made of a protective material known as Kevlar. Kevlar is the most commonly used material as armor for protection against bullets. However, in some cases, the material bends inwards up to 3.5 centimeters on impact. Thus, the safety of the material is questionable. A new fluid, considered a non-Newtonian fluid, has been developed to enhance the drawbacks of traditional vests. Similarly, a new material called graphene is also being used to manufacture defense equipment. Thus, the introduction of these raw materials will enhance the quality and safety of bulletproof jackets. This is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major challenges – Difficulty in optimizing the weight of body armor is the major challenge impeding the market growth. High-performance body armor is integrated with specialized equipment such as communication systems, face protection, video cameras, oxygen systems, and other advanced technologies, allowing the person to engage in combat without any hindrances. The heavy weight of body armor is forcing vendors to fund R&D to optimize the manufacturing process and reduce its weight. They also need to develop armor with health monitors and communication equipment, increasing the cost of operation and leading to challenges in optimizing the price and weight of the product. This could become a major challenge for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
