The Global Bulletproof Glass Market Continues To Grow Owing To the High Demand from Automotive Sectors Worldwide For Providing Safer Vehicles and High Revenues in the Defense Sectors

 

Bulletproof Glass Market

Bulletproof glass is an extremely tough and optically clear material that is especially resistant to penetration by bullets. However, like any complex material, it is not entirely impenetrable. Bulletproof safety glass has also been designed to protect against the impact of exploding gas bottles or fireworks. The laminated glass used in this type of product is usually made of acrylic plastic. This plastic coating provides the necessary protection against the shards of shattered glass. It is used for a variety of purposes, including bullet-resistant safety glasses for vehicles and personal protection. As it can withstand a tremendous amount of force, the transparent armor is an important addition to the arsenal of security products available to consumers. Another advantage of using acrylic plastic as a material is that it is flame resistant, which will make it suitable for use in various applications.

Market Dynamics

Major factors influencing in bulletproof glass market growth include rising concerns on the wellbeing and security of people as the world is witnessing increased cases of terrorist attacks, robberies, and thefts. The market is also determined by federal guidelines, which guarantee extreme security to financial institutions, vehicles used for government purposes, and federal and defense institutes. High military revenues from nations such as the U.S., Saudi Arabia, India, China, etc., have resulted in the increased demand in the bulletproof glass market. For instance, according to data published by U.S. Government, in 2019, the military budget of the nation was around US$ 675 billion. Increased R&D in producing armors that are more efficient also has a positive influence on the market. The main factor hindering growth of the bulletproof glass market is the dormant or declining defense budget plans in some of the emerging economies of the world.

This market is distributed in five regions that include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and Latin America. Among these, North America is estimated to hold a bigger share of the bulletproof glass market owing to the increased demand from the automotive sector in the region. Automobile manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Audi, Ford, and BMW are launching bulletproof vehicles which are expected to augment growth of the market. For instance, in 2020, Audi launched its A8 L Security, which the company claims is not just a car but a safe fortress on the wheels, owing to the durability and bullet resisting power of the vehicle. The increase in defense revenue and the presence of key players in the region are influencing growth of the bulletproof glass market.

Competitive Analysis

Major players operating in the bulletproof glass market include Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. (AGC Inc.), Saint-Gobain, Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Ltd., Taiwan Glass Industry Corporation, Guardian Glass LLC, SCHOTT AG, Scheuten, Consolidated Glass Holdings, Inc., and Phoenicia.
