North America Paper Cone Market Dynamics

Driver

Expansion of the Textile Industry and Yarn Production in the Region

  • The growth of the textile sector in the U.S. and Mexico is driving increased demand for paper cones used in yarn winding and storage
  • Rising nearshoring trends are strengthening local manufacturing and reducing dependency on overseas suppliers
  • Paper cones are essential in automated yarn winding systems, making them integral to operational efficiency
  • Manufacturers are forming partnerships with spinning mills to ensure consistent supply and reduce lead times

    • For instance, Several U.S.-based yarn producers increased their paper cone procurement in 2023 to support expanded production lines following reshoring initiatives

Restraint/Challenge

Volatility in Raw Material Prices and Supply Chain Disruptions

  • Price fluctuations in pulp and recycled paper directly impact production costs of paper cones
  • Global supply chain instability has caused delays in sourcing raw materials for paper cone manufacturing
  • Smaller manufacturers face difficulty maintaining competitive pricing amid rising logistics and energy costs
  • Inconsistent raw material availability hinders the ability to scale production reliably

    • For instance, In 2022, paper cone manufacturers in the southern U.S. reported shipment delays and increased costs due to global pulp shortages and freight disruptions

North America Paper Cone Market Scope

The North America paper cone market is segmented on the basis of type, number of piles, taper of the cone, size, distribution channel, and end-user.

• By Type

On the basis of type, the North America paper cone market is segmented into tight bong paper cone, jumbo paper cone, yarn paper cone, printed paper cone, bobbins, textile paper cone, wax paper cone, conical paper cone, construction cone, plain paper cone, and others. The yarn paper cone segment accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2024, driven by its extensive use in the textile industry for winding and storing various types of yarn. These cones are preferred for their durability, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with high-speed winding machines across spinning mills.

The tight bong paper cone segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, fuelled by its increasing application in industrial winding processes where high strength and moisture resistance are essential. These cones offer superior grip and are gaining traction in both textile and specialty yarn segments requiring precision and performance in demanding environments.

• By Number of Piles

On the basis of number of piles, the market is segmented into single ply and multiple ply. The multiple ply segment dominated the market in 2024 owing to its enhanced strength, load-bearing capacity, and suitability for heavy-duty applications. These cones are favored for transporting high-tension yarns and are widely used in export-grade textile packaging.

The single ply segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, driven by demand from cost-sensitive applications where lightweight winding is preferred, especially in domestic and smaller-scale manufacturing setups.

• By Taper of the Cone

On the basis of taper of the cone, the market is segmented into up to 30 taper, 30 to 50 taper, and above 50 taper. The 30 to 50 taper segment held the highest market share in 2024 due to its widespread use in standard textile operations and compatibility with various yarn winding machines. These tapers ensure efficient yarn unwinding and are commonly used across spinning mills in the region.

The above 50 taper segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by specialized industrial applications that require steeper angles for faster unwinding and specific textile machinery configurations.

• By Size

On the basis of size, the market is segmented into 1-degree 51-minutes cone, 3-degree 51-minutes cone, 5-degree 57-minutes cone, 3-degree 30-minutes cone, 6-degree 20-minutes cone, 9-degree 51-minutes cone, 9-degree 36-minutes cone, 7-degree 22-minutes cone, and others. The 3-degree 30-minutes cone segment led the market in 2024 due to its popularity in polyester and cotton yarn winding, offering balanced support and minimal deformation during high-speed operations.

The 5-degree 57-minutes cone segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, driven by increased adoption in export-focused yarn packaging that demands dimensional precision and superior stacking performance.

• By Distribution Channel

On the basis of distribution channel, the market is segmented into direct sales/B2B, specialist retailers, convenience stores, supermarkets/hypermarkets, e-commerce, and others. The direct sales/B2B segment held the largest share in 2024 as bulk orders from textile manufacturers and spinning mills are generally fulfilled through direct supplier relationships to ensure customization, pricing advantages, and timely delivery.

The e-commerce segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, due to the increasing digitalization of procurement processes and the rise of small-scale textile businesses seeking flexible, on-demand supply channels.

• By End-User

On the basis of end-user, the market is segmented into textile, construction, and others. The textile segment dominated the market with the highest revenue share in 2024, propelled by the significant use of paper cones in spinning, dyeing, and winding processes across North America’s textile sector.

The construction segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, due to the increasing use of conical paper forms and cylindrical molds in concrete shaping and structural casting applications, where cost-effective and disposable solutions are required.
