Ceramic Armor Market Size:

According to the report, global demand for ceramic armor market was valued at approximately USD 1.92 Billion in 2019 and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 3.38 Billion by end of 2027, growing at a CAGR of around 7.4% between 2020 and 2027.

Market Overview:

Ceramic armors are majorly used in personal armors and armored vehicles and help resist the projectile penetration. Ceramic armors offer compressive strength, hardness and are lightweight as compared to metal alloy armors. Materials commonly used in making of ceramic armors are alumina, silicon carbide, boron carbide and titanium diboride etc. A wide range of ceramic armor designs are available ranging from monolithic plates to three dimensional complex matrices.

Evolution has been seen for ceramic armors from many decades. Major companies are focusing on further improvements in the ballistic performance through optimization of ceramic properties and characteristics. A large number of variations can include use of multipiece or perforated ceramic components, low temperature ceramic bonding to achieve high performance, functional gradation of microstructures etc.

Armor design and modelling continues to be important and crucial step in the development of improved and lighter armor materials. The research is expected to continue at a moderate pace owing to increasing demand for more efficient and lightweight armor configurations to deal with variety of threats.
