Report Scope
The protective clothing, gear and armor markets represent a fragmented industry. There are significant and specific segments of the protective clothing, gear and armor industry. Within each of these segments are a variety of players, including government organizations that create, develop and enforce regulations and standards, raw material suppliers, fiber and fabric manufacturers, mills and fabric producers, finished goods manufacturers and suppliers and distributors. As a result of the complexity, supply chains sometimes may be difficult to understand.
This report focuses on the major material types and the designers of the products instead of on product distributors. One large corporation, through many of its parts, may be involved in all sectors of the supply chain.
This study focuses on the following major sectors of the global advanced protective gear and armor market:
- Heat- and flame-resistant clothing, including firefighters’ turnout gear for structural, proximity and wildlands fire service, as well as industrial fire-resistant garments for use in electric and gas utilities or in industrial applications in which electric arc and flash fire are hazards.
- Chemical protective garments and equipment, including chemical-resistant clothing, chemical or biological warfare and protective suits and gloves used in industrial applications. Much of this same gear can be used for biological protection.
- Respirators and ancillary components for fire and chemical/biological situations.
- Body and vehicular armor, including bullet and fragmentation-resistant garments used in law enforcement and military applications.
- Body armor, including bullet-resistant garments used in law enforcement and military applications. This includes the retrofitting of vehicles using the same types of materials and some of the newer engineered in-place vehicle armor.
- Sports protective gear is excluded in this report.
This report discusses the chemical/biological, fire and projectiles/explosives segments, including the regulations, raw materials, technologies, market size and anticipated growth. Manufacturers are evaluated and listed at the conclusion of each of the appropriate sections.
The market estimates and forecasts are based on a thorough analysis of the annual sales, market dynamics, product penetration as well as several other factors.
Nuclear protective gear is excluded from discussion because no truly protective clothing exists for severe nuclear threats such as battlefield nuclear explosions or Chernobyl-level nuclear accidents. Respirators and clothing can help, but the best solution is situational awareness.
