Bullet-resistant glass is a special type of glass obtained by special processing of glass and high-quality engineering plastics. It combines the properties of inorganic and organic materials, has high strength, high rigidity, and high hardness, and can withstand the impact and penetration of bullets. It is usually used in places that require protection such as banks, vaults, high-end hotels, museums, etc.

According to the different interlayer materials, bullet-resistant glass can usually be divided into several types, such as polycarbonate bullet-resistant glass, acrylic bullet-resistant glass, and PVB bullet-resistant glass. Among them, PVB bullet-resistant glass dominates the market. According to our research data, the global segmented market size of PVB bullet-resistant glass is expected to reach $1263.71 million in 2023, with an estimated market share of 30.47%. From the perspective of downstream application patterns, the government & law enforcement department is the largest downstream application market for bullet-resistant glass, and the application share of bullet-resistant glass in this field is estimated to reach 27.02% in 2023.
