In this market, military aircraft, naval systems, land vehicle, body armor, arms and ammunition, and military hard wall shelter are the major segments. Lucintel forecasts that the military aircraft is expected to remain the largest segment, while body armor is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period supported by the growing demand for lightweight and high strength ballistic protection materials.

By reinforcement type, carbon fiber composite is expected to remain the largest segment over the forecast period. Ceramic matrix composite is expected to witness the highest growth due to its high-temperature performance, better wear resistance, and good compressive strength.

By resin type, thermoset composite is expected to remain the largest segment by value and volume due to its wider application areas in the defense industry.

North America is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume. ROW is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period because of growth of new defense programs in the region.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include the adoption of nano-technology in ballistic protection materials and growing focus on stealth technology for military aircrafts. Some of the companies supplying composite materials for defense industry are Cytec-Solvay, Hexcel, Tencate, Polystrand, and Toray.
