The growing global sporting goods retailer market is notably driving the market. Sports goods comprise ball sports equipment, fitness equipment, golf equipment, footwear, and others. In addition, a growing number of sports events and sports clubs are the key influencing factors for the growth of the market. Furthermore, cricket, golf, badminton, and tennis are some of the key sports events that are frequently happening across the global nations.
Moreover, the growing number of tournaments, especially in badminton, hockey, and golf, is increasing the demand for sporting goods such as badminton shuttlecocks, golf balls, and hockey balls. In addition, these sporting goods are commonly stored in plastic and paper tubes. Therefore, a rise in the demand for these sporting goods is expected to influence the requirements for tubes, thus driving the global market during the forecast period.
Implantation of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in tubes and cores is an emerging trend in the market. Several paper-based tube and cores manufacturers are integrating RFID technologies to monitor, control, and track the physical condition of the tubes and cores throughout the supply chain. In addition, the RFID-enabled tubes and cores can be traced from the manufacturing unit to the end user's inventory.
Moreover, this RFID technology protects the tubes and cores from being stolen or misplaced and enhances the supply chain visibility. In addition, the RFID tags on the tubes and cores can relate to the shock sensor, which allows the manufacturers and end-users to know the real-time status of the tubes and cores. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Constantly changing packaging trends is a major challenge hindering the market. The packaging industry is dynamic and constantly changing. In addition, new packaging trends, including 3D printing or advanced materials, may present alternatives to traditional tubes and cores and can negatively affect the demand for tubes and cores. Furthermore, manufacturers need to stay ahead of emerging packaging trends and adapt their product offerings to meet changing market demands.
Moreover, the rise of digital packaging technologies and smart packaging may reduce the demand for traditional tubes and cores. In addition, digital packaging enables digital labeling and printing directly on packaging materials and can reduce or eliminate the need for separate components like tubes and cores in some applications. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
The paper industry segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. In this segment, tubes and cores are used to wrap diverse types of paper materials, including tissues, tapes, label material, and others. In addition, these are generally used in packaging, transportation, and winding of paper and related products. Furthermore, the cylindrical structures provide strength, stability, and protection to rolled paper, making it easier to handle, store, and transport.

The paper industry segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 2.68 billion in 2018. Moreover, toilet paper is the major contributing product in the North American tubes and cores market segment. In addition, the demand in the paper industry is influenced by factors such as paper production volumes, packaging needs, and technological advancements. Furthermore, the industry is focused on optimizing the design and materials used for ducts and cores to enhance strength, sustainability, and cost-efficiency within the North American tubes and cores market. Hence, such factors are fueling the growth of this segment, which in turn drives the market during the forecast period.
Based on the material, the market has been segmented into paper and plastic. The paper segment, including cylindrical structures made primarily from paper or cardboard materials, will account for the largest share. This segment comprises paper cores that serve as inner supports for packaging adhesive tapes and plastic films, maintaining their shape and integrity to prevent deformation, creasing, or damage. Paper cores also facilitate the dispensing and cutting of tapes and films across various industries. Furthermore, paper ducts are widely used as shipping and mailing tubes for rolled documents, posters, blueprints, and artwork. Additionally, innovations like paper pallets are increasingly fueling growth in this segment. These pallets, made from sturdy paper materials, offer sustainable alternatives to traditional wooden or plastic pallets, further driving market expansion during the forecast period.
