Asia-Pacific Bullet Proof Glass Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Bullet-proof glass, also known as transparent armour, ballistic glass, or bullet-resistant glass, is an important component of security systems installed in areas where violent assaults, such as robberies, are likely to occur, as well as in cash trucks, banks, high-end vehicles, display cases, ATM booths, and other applications requiring advanced security features and bullet and small projectile protection. Bullet proof glasses are made to withstand one or more rounds of bullets, depending on their thickness and the weapon used to shoot at them.

Asia-Pacific Bullet Proof Glass Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Demand for Commercial Security

The rising commercial security awareness is also fuelling Asia-Pacific demand for bullet proof glass. Due to the increasing threats, there is a growing concern for security in commercial sectors such as retail security, healthcare security, and transportation security, among others. The government's increased investment in defence budget is another driving factor in the bullet proof glass market. Increasing security threats is one reason why the government is increasing the defence budget to strengthen security defences.

Furthermore, the survivability of soldiers is driving the Asia-Pacific growth of the bullet proof glass market. These glass or vests aid soldiers in protecting themselves from bullets, knife attacks, and grenade explosions.

• High Prevalence of Security Threats

The growing internal and external security threats drive the bullet proof glass market. Rising public safety and security concerns, and increased applications for these glasses, will drive the growth rate of the bullet proof glass market. Furthermore, rising defense expenditures in emerging economies, combined with high demand from residential buildings and premium vehicles, are expected to drive market growth.

Opportunities

• Favourable Government Policies

Government regulations and policies have re-instated for accountability in hazardous accidents and events at sites. This has forced to take initiatives by leading personal protection and clothing as part of the industry norm and standard.

• Expanding Technological Advancements

The incorporation of newer technology in bulletproof glass represents a significant opportunity in the Asia-Pacific bulletproof glass market. The development of bulletproof materials using nanotechnology is expected to provide significant opportunities in this market. According to experiments, graphene absorbs ten times the energy of a penetrating projectile than steel. Technology advancements will likely improve bulletproof vests, presenting significant opportunities in the Asia-Pacific market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Stringent Regulatory Framework

A stringent regulatory framework in the Asia-Pacific bulletproof glass market can present significant challenges. It can lead to increased compliance costs, extensive documentation requirements, and prolonged approval processes. These factors can impede the introduction of new technologies and products, making it difficult for businesses to stay competitive. In addition, variations in regulations across different countries in the region can further complicate market entry and expansion efforts, potentially limiting the overall growth potential of the industry.

• High Production Cost

High production costs can act as a restraint in the Asia-Pacific bulletproof glass market in several ways. These costs can result from the use of specialized materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and stringent quality control measures. Such expenses may make bulletproof glass products less affordable for potential customers, limiting their adoption in the market. In addition, elevated production costs can erode profit margins for manufacturers, reducing incentives for investment and innovation in the sector, which can hinder overall market growth.

Recent Developments

• In December 2021, The Queensland Government announced its intention to supply integrated load-bearing vests (ILBV) to the Queensland Police Service in August 2021. (QPS). The QPS will receive 12,200 new integrated load-bearing vests, which will replace the 4,750 ballistic plates and vests currently in service
• In June 2021, Researchers at MIT and the California Institute of Technology announced that they had created a nanoengineered material that is stronger than the current bullet proof vests made of Kevlar or steel. The material, which is composed of interconnected carbon "tetrakaidecahedrons," can absorb the impact of microscopic bullets
