Based on material type, the armor materials market is segmented into metals & alloys, ceramics, composites, para-aramid, UHMWPE, fiberglass and others. The metals & alloys segment accounted for the largest market share, in terms of value and volume, in 2021. Metals and alloys are popular materials for armor because they have several properties that make them effective at protecting against various types of threats. Additionally, by modifying their composition and processing, metals and alloys can be adapted to particular uses, enabling the development of armor that is suited for particular threats, such as ballistic or blast protection.

Based on application, the armor materials market is segmented into vehicle armor, aerospace armor, body armor, civil armor, and marine armor. Vehicle armor application accounted for the largest market share, in terms of value, in 2021. Armor materials provide critical protection for vehicles, including armored personnel carriers, tanks, and other military vehicles. These materials can also be used to protect civilian vehicles, such as cars and trucks used for VIP transportation, or to protect critical infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, and power plants.
