While military applications dominate the vehicle armor materials market, there is growing interest from civilian and law enforcement sectors. VIPs, high-net-worth individuals, government officials, and police forces are increasingly investing in armored vehicles for protection against urban threats, including gunfire, riots, and terrorist attacks.

According to Stratview Research, the vehicle armor materials market size was USD 22.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 22.9 billion in 2024 to USD 37.4 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.

Opportunities:

1. Urban Security Needs: In countries experiencing rising internal unrest or terrorism threats, armored police vehicles are becoming essential. This includes the use of lightweight armor that allows maneuverability in tight city environments.
2. Rising Demand in Emerging Economies: Wealthier segments in regions such as Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia are fueling demand for armored civilian vehicles—especially for diplomatic corps, executives, and private security firms.

Trends:

• Transparent Armor Innovation: Development in bulletproof glass and laminated composites has improved visibility, weight, and cost-efficiency, driving demand in both luxury and tactical vehicles.
• Modular Armor Kits: Vehicle armoring is becoming increasingly modular, allowing vehicles to be upgraded or downgraded depending on mission requirements without changing the entire structure.

Conclusion:

The non-military armor market is gaining traction, driven by urban safety concerns and high-net-worth individual security needs. This segment presents a lucrative opportunity for armor material suppliers to diversify and scale outside the traditional defense ecosystem.
