Which Key Market Drivers Powering Composites In The Defense Market Expansion and Growth?_x000D_
The growth of composites in the defense market is expected to be spurred by the rising interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs are aircrafts that function without an onboard human pilot, being controlled remotely or autonomously. They find applications in diverse sectors such as military, commercial, recreational, surveillance, delivery, and aerial photography. The rising attractiveness of UAVs can be attributed to their ability to perform various tasks safely, efficiently, and in a cost-effective manner than the conventional methods. There has been a significant increase in the reliance on advanced composites due to their increasing use in the defense industry. These composites lessen the weight while maintaining the structural strength and robustness. For instance, per a report published in June 2025 by the UK's Ministry of Defense, 100,000 drones will be supplied to Ukraine by the UK, marking a substantial increase from the 10,000 drones delivered in 2024. Hence, the burgeoning demand for UAVs is enhancing the composites in the defense market._x000D_

Which Fast-Growing Trends Are Poised to Disrupt the Composites In The Defense Market?_x000D_
Leading enterprises in the composites in defense market are concentrating on innovating new solutions like customizable composite ballistic protection to improve defense abilities specific to each mission. This term denotes armor systems that are adaptable and are formed from superior fiber-resin composites, providing modification in protection levels while minimizing weight and enhancing mobility. For example, in November 2023, Integris Composites, a firm from the US that specializes in protective materials, introduced customizable composite ballistic vests and shields. These items come with scalable protection configurations, potential for multiple hits due to light weight, and are ergonomically designed for best coverage and the comfort of the user. They are developed for military and policing operations that demand swift adjustments to varying levels of threats. The customizable composite ballistic vests and shields deliver improved survivability and mobility without any compromise on protection._x000D_
