21. Military Body Armour & Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) Market 2013-2023
The development of the SCE as an all encompassing force protection system has increased the
demand for military body armour and PPE in recent years. The commitment to the procurement,
development and advancement of this system is expected to sustain spending in the market sector
throughout the early part of the forecasting period. Despite the reduction in troop deployment,
which will have an impact on spending, the commitment to developing the next generation of force
protection, using lessons learnt in Iraq and Afghanistan will provide demand in the Australian
national market. The media and public backlash focussed upon the lack of equipment and
preparedness of the Australian military has had a major impact on military body armour and PPE
procurement plans. There was great dismay at the lack of effective military body armour and
protective equipment provided to Australian troops. Therefore significant investment will take place
in body armour and PPE to ensure that all Australian troops are fully protected. It is estimated that
individual soldier equipment now costs in excess of $26,000 per person.
This commitment to procuring the most advanced personal protection equipment possible for the
Australian forces is further underlined by the helmet upgrade programme which is expected to
continue through 2013. In November 2011, the Australian government stated that upgrade work
involving 2,000 helmets had been completed in October 2011, with new harnesses and padding
being fitted to increase comfort and functionality. A further 1,500 helmets were upgraded in 2012
with an unspecified number to undergo upgrade in 2013 and 2014.

7. Expert Opinion
7.1 Shachar Bernhard – V.P. Marketing ArmorSource
7.1.1 ArmorSource a Leading Company
Visiongain: Could you tell me about Armorsource’s position in the market and how you forecast
this in the next few years?
SB: ArmorSource have a leading position in the market in many aspects. ArmorSource won the
first order of Lightweight Advanced Combat Helmets (LW-ACH) to the U.S. Army in the amount of
up to 375,000 units. ArmorSource also provide Ultra-Lightweight Ballistic Helmets to the Italian,
Singapore, Spanish and Dutch Governments, as well as other military and law enforcement forces
worldwide and during the last five years ArmorSource produced and delivered to its customers
over than 400,000 ballistic helmets.
Besides having the most progressive lightweight armouring technologies, with a production
capacity of up to 40,000 ballistic helmets per month ArmorSource most probably have the largest
production capacity of ballistic helmets in the world.
7.1.2 Budget Cuts Impact Business
Visiongain: Have cuts in US & European defence budgets actually had a meaningful impact upon
Body Armour and Personal Protective Equipment demand?
SB: It is difficult to link cancelation of solicitations and/or continued delay of projects directly to the
defence budget cut. But we in fact we have seen in the last years less solicitations turned into firm
orders in EU and the US.
7.1.3 Alternative Markets Continued Demand
Visiongain: Are you seeing a growth or trend in alternative, developing markets and if so which
regions?
SB: Alternative markets are still buying like they had before, however still, mostly lower-end
products. So this is not an alternative to the US and EU markets that traditionally are looking in
many cases for higher end products.

8.1.1 3M Ceradyne Maintains Prominent Position
3M Ceradyne is a world leader in advanced ceramic systems and components. Its product
specialisation in terms of the Military Body Armour and PPE market is Technical Ceramics, more
specifically hard armour plate inserts. It is a key supplier of ESAPI, ESBI, XSAPI and XSBI plates
to the US military. 3M Ceradyne also provide armour plating for combat and tactical vehicles, small
boats, naval vessels, helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft.
In November 2012, 3M completed its acquisition of Ceradyne. In a press release it was announced
that: “The combination of Ceradyne and 3M will enable new technologies and innovation for
uniquely tailored materials requiring advanced ceramics. Ceradyne will join the 3M Advanced
Materials Division within 3M’s Industrial Business Group”.
Visiongain believes this acquisition alongside the prominent position of the company within the
armour plate insert industry will stand it in good position for the future. Clearly cuts in US
government spending will have an impact on revenue figures. However the reputation it holds for
producing top quality products could open avenues to international markets and will ensure
continual demand, albeit at a lower level, from the US DoD.
