The Bulletproof Glass Market size is estimated to reach $15.7 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period 2023-2030, according to a recent report published by IndustryARC, titled, “Bulletproof Glass Market –By Security Levels (Security Level-1, Security Level-2, Security Level-3Security Level-4 to8, Others), By Application (Defense, VIP Vehicles, Government & Law Enforcement, Cash-In-Transit Vehicles, Commercial Buildings, ATM Booths & Teller Stations, Others), By End User (Automotive, Military, Construction, Banking & Finance, Others), By Geography - Global Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2023-2030”

Rising demand from automotive sector and advancements in material technology are fueling the growth of the Bulletproof Glass industry during the forecast period. 

North America held the largest share of more than 46% in the Bulletproof Glass Market in 2023. The region's heightened focus on security across various sectors, including government, defense, banking, and commercial spaces, has driven demand for bulletproof glass solutions. The U.S., in particular, has seen significant investment in high-security infrastructure, including military vehicles, embassies, and financial institutions, all of which rely heavily on bulletproof glass for protection against threats. Additionally, the rising use of armored vehicles and protective measures in luxury automotive segments, coupled with an increasing emphasis on public safety, further fuels the market growth. The strong presence of leading manufacturers and ongoing innovations in lightweight, multi-functional materials that offer superior protection also contribute to North America's dominant position. Moreover, government regulations and mandates promoting the use of security-enhancing materials in critical infrastructure have bolstered demand, making North America a key market for bulletproof glass. 

The automotive sector is increasingly adopting bulletproof glass due to growing concerns about security and safety. With rising instances of violent crimes, political instability, and high-profile attacks, automakers are incorporating bulletproof glass, especially in luxury vehicles, armored cars, and government fleet vehicles. High-net-worth individuals, political figures, and business executives often seek enhanced protection during transportation. For instance, in October 2022, Revzani wants to make the world of armored transport a little more luxurious. The Irvine, Calif., company just unveiled its latest model, the Vengeance. The bulletproof SUV looks like something the Punisher would ride in, but is packed with all the amenities you need to make it to your destination in complete comfort. The adoption of bulletproof glass in automobiles is not limited to luxury brands; governments and security firms also use armored vehicles with bulletproof glass for personnel protection. This demand is prompting automotive manufacturers to seek lighter, more efficient bulletproof glass solutions to minimize weight while maintaining high safety standards. Technological innovations are leading to the development of lighter, thinner glass that still offers optimal protection, improving vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.

Material innovations, particularly in laminates, composites, and polymers, are transforming bulletproof glass. Traditionally, bulletproof glass was thick and heavy, made from layers of glass and plastic, limiting its usability in various sectors. Now, new technologies are enabling the creation of lightweight, transparent armor using polycarbonate, acrylic, and glass-clad polycarbonate materials. These advancements allow for better performance without compromising visibility, thickness, or weight, making bulletproof glass more adaptable for architectural applications like bank counters, military facilities, and sensitive government buildings. In January 2023, Asahi India Glass has collaborated with Enormous Brands to create brand films for its AIS Windows brand, which offers complete doors and windows solutions. The company has created three films to showcase its range of uPVC and aluminum doors and windows solutions. Companies are now focusing on creating multi-hit capability glass that can withstand multiple ballistic impacts without shattering, providing enhanced security in high-risk environments.
