The military body armor and personal protection market is split into five segments: soft armor, hard armor, protective headgear, protective clothing, and boots. During the forecast period, the soft armor segment is expected to account for the largest share of spending, accounting for 35% of the overall global market. Spending in this segment will be largely driven by procurement programs in the European region, followed by investments in Asia Pacific, North America, and the Middle East.
