Bulletproof glass market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period. Changing lifestyles, urbanization, and the construction of smart cities have given a push to building technologies and materials. Customers pay attention to the type of windows being installed in their homes and have a clear preference when it comes to their safety. Bulletproof glass provides a transparent security barrier for the protected objects, which makes it difficult for criminals to rob in the protected areas. Moreover, it eliminates the psychological barriers caused by the use of protective fences between the protected objects and customers, facilitates the emotional communication between the salesmen and customers, beautifies the working environment and lighting effect of the protected objects, and improves the decorative grade of the business environment and the image of the enterprise. Hence, owing to its various advantages the demand for bulletproof glass is projected to rise during the forecast period.
In addition, the market players which include, Taiwan Glass Industry Corp., Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd., Armortex, Vetrotech, and others are adopting various strategies such as partnership, collaboration, and expansion that further drive the market growth. For instance, in September 2021, Vetrotech Saint-Gobain unveiled a new bullet-resistant glass, a 65mm thick Vetrogard, which has been developed, tested, and certified in India. Vetrotech’s first-of-its-kind National Institute of Justice (NIJ) bullet-resistant glass in India has been tested against Level 3 bullet resistance as per the NIJ standard. The product is designed to protect from bullet strikes from an AK-47 rifle. A 7.62mm calibre bullet travelling at 838 m/s is shot 5 times from a distance of 5 metres from the glass, and the glass qualifies as NIJ Level 3 bullet resistant.
Segmental Outlook
The global bulletproof glass market is segmented based on its type and application. Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into acrylic, traditional laminated glass, polycarbonate, glass-clad polycarbonate, ballistic insulated glass, and others.

Among these, Europe is projected to grow in the bulletproof glass market. The growth of the market in Europe is owed to the rising trend of technologically advanced buildings, and steps taken by the European Union (EU) to increase the use of safety and security materials for buildings drive the market.
Global Bulletproof Glass Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030
The North American Region Leads the Growth of the Global Bulletproof Glass Market
The North American region controlled the global market share of bullet-proof glass. The US is the world's top producer and exporter of bulletproof glass and the leading consumer of these glasses due to the substantial military budget. According to a World Bank report, North America's total military spending accounted for around 3.3% of the region's total GDP in 2021. Defense spending in the US rises from $596 billion in 2014 to $915 billion by 2031, according to the Congressional Budget Office. In addition, a rise in the number of terrorist attacks, and an increase in construction activities are projected to drive the market growth. For instance, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) tracks the number of open domestic terrorism-related cases which grew by 357% from 1,981 to 9,049, From 2010 to 2021, I&A tracked a total of 231 domestic terrorism incidents in the US.
Market Players Outlook
