The global bulletproof glass market is projected to reach USD 7.65 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 13.6% between 2017 and 2022.

The growth of this market can be attributed to the growing demand for bulletproof glass from the automotive and military end users.

The automotive segment led the global bulletproof glass market in 2016. The military segment is projected to witness highest growth from 2017 to 2022, due to the increasing usage of bulletproof glass in military bases, combat operations, and transportation of personnel, mine detection, bomb disposal, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and tactical tanks.

Defense & VIP Vehicles was the largest segment of the bulletproof glass market in 2016.
