概述

全球陶瓷裝甲市場在2022年達到20億美元，預計2030年將達到37億美元，2023-2030年預測期間年複合成長率為7.8%。

陶瓷裝甲因其較高的抗壓強度和硬度，主要用於裝甲車輛和個人盾牌，以抵抗子彈的穿透。陶瓷板通常用作軟質防彈背心的插入物。陶瓷裝甲在軍事和國防領域有很多機會，是一個新興產業。

由於陶瓷裝甲具有高水準的彈道威脅防禦能力，因此經常用於飛機裝甲的生產。在預計的時間內，這預計將推動陶瓷裝甲市場的發展。此外，在車輛裝甲的製造中使用陶瓷裝甲可以防止惡劣的天氣條件、耐腐蝕和便於車輛移動。

陶瓷裝甲的防彈衣應用佔據40%以上的市場。同樣，北美在陶瓷裝甲市場上佔據主導地位，佔據了超過 1/3 的最大市場佔有率。預計該地區陶瓷裝甲市場的發展將受到政府軍事計劃的推動，例如為武裝部隊提供全身裝甲的四肢保護計劃和士兵軀幹保護系統。

動力學

軍事和國防開支

一些國家為國防需求籌集了大量資金。根據 SIPRI 的數據，2020 年全球軍事支出超過 1.98 兆美元，較往年有所成長。這筆錢大部分用於改善軍隊裝備。它包括保證士兵安全的裝備和堅固的車輛等。陶瓷裝甲在這裡很重要，因為它提供了強大的保護，但又不會讓東西變得太重。

全球士兵和警察都使用防彈衣來確保安全。陶瓷板是這件鎧甲的關鍵部分。國防投資較多的國家也會購買更多的防彈衣。特別是，美國作為國防開支大國，為其軍隊和執法機構購買了大量的人體裝甲。根據 2023 年世界人口審查報告，美國對其武裝部隊的投資最多，達 8,167 億美元。

一些國防工業強大的國家向其他國家出售包括陶瓷裝甲在內的軍事裝備。它有助於全球陶瓷裝甲市場的成長。當各國在國防上投入更多資金時，包括製造陶瓷裝甲的公司在內的國防工業就會變得更大。這意味著這些公司所在地將有更多的就業機會和更多的業務。

技術進步

技術的不斷進步導致了氧化鋁、碳化硼和碳化矽等先進陶瓷的出現。與傳統的金屬鎧裝材料相比，陶瓷的重量特別輕。例如，每單位體積氧化鋁陶瓷的重量約為鋼的三分之一。

技術進步使得先進陶瓷表現出卓越的防彈性。由於其高硬度和令人印象深刻的斷裂韌性，它能夠有效阻止高速射彈，例如穿甲彈和彈片。

主要參與者正在採取各種策略來增強其市場業務。例如，醫療和非醫療應用氮化矽陶瓷的原始設備製造商 (代工生產) SINTX Technologies, Inc. 今天宣布，它已與俄亥俄州代頓市的 B4C, LLC 簽署資產購買協議，購買生產彈道裝甲板所需的機械和科學程序。另外，SINTX 和 Precision Ceramics USA Inc. 同意簽訂技術授權協議，生產用於國防裝甲應用的陶瓷複合材料。

政府實體、國防機構和私人企業正在大力投資研發，以迎來下一代陶瓷裝甲。這些投資不僅旨在增強防彈性能，還旨在提高陶瓷裝甲的耐用性和多功能性。

商業應用的增加

執法機構和安全部門擴大採用陶瓷盔甲進行個人防護。它包括陶瓷防彈背心和頭盔的使用。陶瓷裝甲的輕質特性和高水準防彈保護是這種採用背後的關鍵原因。

汽車產業對用於增強車輛保護的陶瓷裝甲表現出濃厚的興趣。高性能陶瓷裝甲可加強車輛，使其更能抵禦彈道攻擊、爆炸或安全威脅。它在涉及運輸貴重資產或知名人士的場景中尤其重要。

商業實體，包括保全公司、銀行和從事高價值資產運輸的公司，正在投資陶瓷裝甲以保護資產和人員。例如，配備陶瓷裝甲的裝甲車用於現金運輸服務。陶瓷裝甲可用於海上環境，例如用於沿海巡邏和防止海盜的裝甲船或船舶。這些艦艇可能會採用陶瓷裝甲零件以增強其安全能力。

成本挑戰

製作陶瓷盔甲需要精確而複雜的製造技術，包括壓制、成型和燒結。這些程序需要專門的設備和專業知識，這增加了整體生產成本。

為了應對不斷變化的威脅，陶瓷裝甲材料的不斷增強和創新需要持續的研發投資。研發支出佔總支出的比重較大。為了確保陶瓷裝甲的可靠性和功效，它必須經過廣泛的測試和認證程序，通常由獨立機構進行。評估可能既昂貴又耗時。

重量和體積問題

陶瓷裝甲增加的重量會降低個人（包括士兵和執法人員）的機動性和敏捷性。它可能在動態戰鬥場景或應對城市環境中的威脅時帶來挑戰。

長時間穿著又重又笨重的陶瓷盔甲會導致不適和疲勞。它的不適會影響現場作業人員的效率和耐力。運輸和儲存陶瓷裝甲，特別是用於軍事或安全目的的大量陶瓷裝甲，可能會帶來後勤複雜性。陶瓷裝甲系統的重量和體積需要專門的車輛和設施。

Ceramic armor is primarily used in armored vehicles and personal shields to resist bullet penetration because of its high compressive strength and hardness. ceramic plates are generally used as inserts in soft ballistic vests. With many opportunities in the military and defense sectors, ceramic armor is a rising industry.

As ceramic armor offers a high level of defense against ballistic threats, it is frequently employed in the production of aircraft armor. During the projected period, this is anticipated to fuel the market for ceramic armor. Additionally, the use of ceramic armor in the creation of vehicle armor safeguards against adverse weather conditions, corrosion resistance and ease of vehicle mobility.

The body armor application of ceramic armor accounts for over 40% of the market share. Similarly, North America dominates the ceramic armor market, capturing the largest market share of over 1/3rd. The development of the ceramic armor market in the region is anticipated to be fueled by government military programs like the Extremity Protection program and Soldier Protection System-Torso for delivering full body armor to the armed services.

Dynamics

Military and Defense Expenditure

A lot of money is assembled aside by several nations for their defense requirements. According to a group called SIPRI, the globe spent more than US$1.98 trillion on the military in 2020. It was a rise from prior years. Major of this money is used to make the military's equipment better. It includes things like gear to keep soldiers safe and tough vehicles. Ceramic armor is important here because it provides strong protection without making things too heavy.

Soldiers and police globally use body armor to stay safe. Ceramic plates are a key part of this armor. Countries that invest more in defense also purchase more body armor. In particular, U.S, which is a significant spender on defense, purchases plenty of human armor for its military and law enforcement agencies. U.S. invests the largest amount in its armed forces, at US$816.7 billion, based on the World Population Review report for 2023.

Some countries with strong defense industries sell their military equipment, including ceramic armor, to other nations. It helps the global ceramic armor market grow. The defense industry, which includes companies making ceramic armor, gets bigger when countries spend more on defense. It means more jobs and more business in places where these companies are based.

Technological Advancements

The continuous progression in technology has led to the emergence of advanced ceramics like alumina, boron carbide and silicon carbide. The ceramics are notably lightweight when compared to conventional metallic armor materials. For instance, alumina ceramics weigh approximately one-third of steel per unit volume.

Technological strides have resulted in advanced ceramics demonstrating superior ballistic performance. It possess the capability to effectively halt high-velocity projectiles, such as armor-piercing bullets and shrapnel, due to their high hardness and impressive fracture toughness.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

All significant industries were badly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Similarly, the global market for ceramic armor was impacted by industry closures, stringent regulations, lockdowns and the collapse of the global economy. The production capacity of ceramic armor producers was negatively impacted by factors such as a lack of labor, closed manufacturing industries, a lack of raw materials and transportation and distribution constraints.

Ceramic armor has an enormous demand in the defense industry. The defense industry's ability to make purchases was impacted by the pandemic's unstable economy, which immediately reduced demand for body armor plates. Significant global producers of armor or ballistic protection materials include U.S., Russia and China.

Due to their crumbling economies and shutdown industries, these nations experienced a shock during the pandemic, which affected the manufacture of body armor plates and other ballistic materials.

Major industry participants said that the protracted shutdown globally was to blame for the financial loss. For instance, BAE Systems, a major competitor in the global industry, reported that in the first six months of the shutdown, the company's share suffered a considerable decline of almost 22%.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The conflict escalated to disruptions in trade and transportation and supply chains for raw materials and components used in ceramic armor production were affected. It potentially leads to delays in manufacturing and increased costs for companies reliant on materials from the region.

globally, negative effects are anticipated, particularly in Eastern Europe, the European Union, Eastern & Central Asia and U.S. It claim has significantly disrupted trade dynamics and had a negative impact on people's lives and means of subsistence. It is anticipated that the conflict and unpredictability in Eastern Europe will negatively affect Ukraine and have severe, long-lasting impacts on Russia.

About 30 times more Chinese drones were purchased by Russia than by Ukraine in 2023 and imports of ceramics, a crucial component of body armor, increased by 69% from China to Russia, reaching US$225 million. In the same period, Ukraine's imports of ceramics from China fell by 61% to US$5 million. The market is anticipated to gain traction by the end of 2025.
