Top Ten Companies in Ballistic and Ancillary Protective Gear

July 12, 2012

Wellesley, Mass. – In a recently published market research report, TOP TEN COMPANIES IN BALLISTIC AND ANCILLARY PROTECTIVE GEAR (Report Code: AVM080A), BCC Research identifies leading suppliers of ballistic and ancillary protective gear in a market that is reactionary and where success and innovation are key.

Advanced protective gear and armor are forward-looking technology sectors. These advanced protective products primarily serve those in law enforcement, correctional institutions, Homeland Security, and the military. Most companies engaged in the advanced protective gear and armor business never stop looking for ways to improve and enhance their products by way of R&D, acquisitions, or partnerships. Almost none of these companies are vertically integrated from raw material to finished product. Vertical integration is a business plan that is receiving some attention to gain control of raw materials and the distribution system for personal protective gear and armor.

In this study, BCC Research identifies the top 10 companies participating in the complex advanced protective gear and armor market, as well as many other more specialized companies also deserving attention in the coming months and years.

Because of the complex nature of this market, BCC evaluated these companies using a variety of criteria, namely product innovation, accessibility to material, and vertical integration or business collaboration practices.

Given these criteria, BCC’s assessment yielded these as the top 10 advanced thermal protective gear and clothing suppliers:

• DuPont.
• Honeywell.
• Royal DSM NV.
• Ceradyne Inc.
• BAE/Armor Holdings.
• TenCate Protective Fabrics.
• Point Blank Enterprises.
• Alliant Techsystems (ATK)/Black Hawk  BlackHawk  Industries.
• General Dynamics/Force Protection.
• Teijin Aramid/Teijin Group.

Also included in this report are many up-and-coming companies to watch for in the future. In a broader scope, BCC has been covering the advanced protective gear and armor market for more than 10 years. Continuing through 2012 and beyond, BCC will publish “top 10” reports covering the supplier base in other fast-growing technology markets, such as our most recently published report, TOP TEN COMPANIES IN ADVANCED THERMAL PROTECTIVE GEAR AND CLOTHING (AVM079A), which was released in May 2012.
