Thus, improved spending on military upgradation by various governments coupled with the increasing number of recruits in the armed forces is expected to boost the product demand over the forecast period. Military PPE has evolved into a critical component of soldier safety, as it is used to protect soldiers from severe injuries caused by contact with physical, chemical, radiological, electrical, mechanical, or bio-hazardous materials.

Rising concerns pertaining to the safety of soldiers are expected to have a positive impact on the market growth. The expansion of battlefield hazards, such as the use of shrapnel in explosive devices or batons used in hand fighting, has resulted in a new wave of forward-thinking body armor and tactical ballistic vest protection that offer extra safety to soldiers.
