The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Rise in cross-border terrorism

The rise in cross-border terrorism on a global scale is propelling the demand for effective force equipment in the market. Countries around the world face different types of security threats: China faces narcotics trafficking; Japan faces issues such as maritime piracy; Russia faces terrorism at a higher rate; India faces smuggling, trafficking, and militancy, especially in the states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir; Pakistan faces significant illegal immigration and terrorism. The Southeast Asian countries like Philippines and Thailand face major concerns such as drug trafficking. As a result, several nations across the globe are making large investments in the development and procurement of such equipment to prepare their defense sector for any sort of terrorist activities. Such initiatives will include the replacement of old equipment with new advanced ballistic protective equipment such as bulletproof helmets.

Increase in defense expenditure

The defense expenses of nations across the globe are currently on the rise as each country is determining its military and defense expenses based on its political and social environment. The US allocated over $500 billion on defense spending in 2015. The other countries with substantial budgets for the armed forces are China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the UK, India, France, and Japan. A rise in defense budget translates to a rise in demand for ballistic protective products such as bulletproof helmets.

Demand from law enforcement

An ongoing rise in the demand for law enforcement is a key incentive for growth of the global bulletproof helmet market. The demand for law enforcement is determined by factors such as political, social, and socio-cultural scenarios of a region. India, for instance, is focusing on closer security cooperation and economic integration within APAC region. The government of India is also focusing on the modernization of police forces through the Modernization of State Police Forces (MPF) Scheme.
