Growth Drivers
Rising Awareness Regarding Security
The rising security and protection awareness is the major key factor driving the growth of the market. The growing changes in the dynamics of war is resulting into surge in concerns among governments of various nations for safety measures against conflicts to ensure protection of military, police forces and citizens. The ballistic protection offers safety against mines, explosive chemicals and other hazardous materials. Various manufacturers are working on protection equipments owing to their durability and strength. Further, rising awareness for the enhancement of military capabilities and defense forces in order to counter criminals who are now more equipped will accelerate the growth of ballistic protection over the forecast period.
Restraints
High Cost of the Products and Stringent Regulations
The increased cost associated with ballistic protection equipments is expected to act as a major restraint for the growth of the market. The usage of advanced and high performance materials in the manufacturing of ballistic protection equipments is leading to the increased cost of final product. Further, the necessity of technical expertise for the development of equipments is adding up to the cost of product. Moreover, stringent regulations by different regulatory agencies in opposition to the emission of volatile organic compounds are further hampering the growth of the market.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
