India Ballistic Protection Market Outlook To 2021: Ken Research

How Is the India Ballistic Protection Market Positioned?
Ballistic protection market comprises of defence equipments which are used by people to protect themselves against the projectiles that may be launched from a firearm or an explosive device. The most commonly used forms of ballistic protection are bullet proof vest and bullet proof vehicles. Bullet proof vests can be made strong enough to withstand attacks from handguns, sub-machine guns as well as modern assault rifles. The need for ballistic protection has been growing in India with the rise in threat of domestic and cross-border terrorism. Apart from terrorism, local extremist outfits such as Indian Mujahideen, Bodo militants, Maoist-Naxalite insurgency in several of its states has led to the deployment of military and paramilitary forces in these regions. As the casualties and fatalities from stray explosives and firings rise in these regions, the need for protective armor by the general public has been growing.
Moreover, there is a constant demand from the armed forces in India, since the country’s borders are shared with China and Pakistan. The market for personal protective garments in India has flourished in the past five years, owing to the extension in demand. This was supported with a surge in supply, owing to the presence of global as well as domestic players in the market.
