Market Insights
The global bulletproof security glass accounted for US$ 4.24 Bn in 2017 growing with a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Bulletproof security glass is basically made up of various transparent materials with an arrangement of two or more types of glass, one hard and one soft that can resist any damage from bullets or small projectiles. The number of layers stacked depends on the level of security of glass for which it is being used. The glass product is produced by using various ballistic materials such as acrylic, polycarbonate, thermoplastic and glass-clad polycarbonate. The refractive index of the glasses that are used in the manufacture of bulletproof glass should be identical which in turn makes it transparent.
The bulletproof glass market is mainly driven by growing demand of global automotive industry. This coupled with growing demand from tech savvy consumers for various value added automobile products is also propelling the growth of bullet proof security glass market in the automobile segment during the forecast period. In addition, increasing expansion of financial institutions and services in developing countries followed by huge infrastructural development is also expected to augment the market demand during the forecast period. Growing demand from defense and military installations is also driving the global bulletproof security glass market. Trend shows that manufactures are focusing on developing innovative bulletproof security glasses owing to the rising security concerns from defense and military industry. For example, Saint-Gobain Crystals deals with transparent sapphire glass armoring that aims to protect military vehicles. These windshields and windows are basically made of large sheets of sapphire that are laminated with multiple layers of glass and polycarbonate with an objective to withstand corrosive gases and sand abrasion that are emitted during rocket fire. Increasing demand owing to rising security concerns following higher crime rates and terror attacks are other factors expected to drive the global bulletproof security glass market. However, regulatory bodies are focusing on lowering emission rates which has hampered the process of development of lighter bulletproof glass which in turn is restraining the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, increasing cost of various raw materials such as polycarbonate is also expected to hamper the growth of this market.
