Big advantages to the military. Weight savings means a lot to the folks that have to carry it around. Logistics wonks like lighter stuff too; if 25% more can get into a C-130 or C-17, that's a good thing.
No real advantage to civilians unless it can become cheaper than other options. That's been the advantage of plastic for ages...it's cheap and easy to form.
