Electrical components are being built into body armors to provide soldiers with situational awareness and connectivity for continuous communication with command centres. Armies, navies, air forces, and paramilitary troops all use body armour to shield their soldiers. For military forces, these devices are critical for survivability and defense against bombs, missiles, and other sharp arms. When the number of arms conflicts grows, so does the need for better protective armour for soldiers on missions. Armors with various components and accessories, such as torches, night vision equipment, global positioning systems (GPS), and imaging and communication systems, are being introduced by vendors in this market. One of the main trends driving the growth of the lightweight armour systems market is the incorporation of electronic components.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON MILITARY LIGHTWEIGHT ARMOR SYSTEM MARKET
At the national, state, local, and organization levels, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic influence on the daily lives of billions of people. Social distancing and company shutdown measures have been implemented to slow the spread. The impact of the virus and the containment measures are being felt on both the supply and the demand sides of the economy, leading to severe downturns in the world economic output. The pandemic has had a significant impact on global manufacturing operations, and the market is likely to see a little dip in 2020-2021 as a result of the temporary shutdown of manufacturing units in various weapon and tactical gear exporting countries. However, now that life is returning to normal, demand for the products is expected to rise expectedly. The supply-demand chain will be back in service and the market will maintain the pace in the coming years (2021
-2028). For instance, in February 2021, DuPont acquired Tex Tech's Core Matrix Technology, a monolithic fabric structure that can significantly reduce back trauma while increasing ballistic and fragmentation performance for military and law enforcement personnel. The acquisition adds to the company's already robust portfolio of life protection solutions, enabling the most flexible, lightweight ballistic solutions to meet new the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) ballistic standards for enhanced durability. Further, from 2021 to 2023, the Spanish Civil Guard has planned to acquire a total of 25,000 body armor to add to its inventory of 33,000 external citizen security vests that were purchased between 2017-2020. Additionally, in April 2021, according to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), total global military expenditure rose to ~US$ 1,981 billion last year, an increase of ~2.6 percent in real terms from 2019, this will directly create additional demand for the military lightweight armor system, which boost the growth of the market during the forecast period (2021
-2028).
