Body Armor Segment To Is Expected To Take Centre Stage In The Global Aramid Fibers Market
Market Overview:
Aramid fibers are synthetic fibers known for their high strength and heat resistance. They are used in various ballistic-rated applications such as body armors, helmets and vehicle armors due to their high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends driving the growth of the aramid fibers market is the increasing demand from the defense sector for manufacturing body armors and helmets. Aramid fibers are majorly used in manufacturing body armors owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio and ability to stop bullets. With rising global military spending and increasing threats of terrorist activities, the demand for advanced protective gears from defense sector is growing significantly. This is expected to boost the consumption of aramid fibers over the forecast period.
The global Aramid Fibers Market Share is estimated to be valued at US$ 4447.55 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights
Segment Analysis
The global aramid fibers market is segmented into meta-aramid fibers and para-aramid fibers. The para-aramid fibers segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Para-aramid fibers are widely used in bulletproof vests, protective gears, and fire suits owing to their excellent strength, stiffness, and heat resistance properties. They can withstand temperatures ranging from 250°C to 550°C without any loss in tensile strength.
