Market Highlights
The global bulletproof glass market is accounted to register a CAGR of 14.30% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 27.30 billion by 2032.
Bulletproof glass, referred to as transparent armor, ballistic glass, or bullet-resistant glass, is an essential component of security systems installed in locations where violent assaults, such as robberies, are likely to occur, as well as in cash trucks, banks, display cases, high-end vehicles, ATM booths, and other applications requiring advanced security features and bullet and small projectile protection. Bulletproof glasses have been created to withstand one or more rounds of bullets based on the thickness of the glass or the device used to fire at them.
It is anticipated that robust demand from the military, government institutions, retail stores, liquor stores, banks, and other industries will drive market expansion. The military and defense utilize bulletproof glass in the viewports and windows of ground vehicles and aircraft, as well as for mine detection, armory equipment, battle tanks, combat vehicles, and carrier trucks. The market is expanding due to factors such as the availability of a durable alternative to glass for buildings and vehicles that require additional protection. As consumer and investor safety has taken precedence, the dramatic transformations in several end-use industries have positively affected bullet-resistant glass.
