The global pulp roll cradle market size is calculated at USD 247 million in 2024 and is predicted to attain around USD 335.18 million by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2024 to 2034.
The pulp roll cradles market is a growing subsector of the cradles market. It deals with equipment that handles and supports large rolls of paper or other materials. These cradles are designed to handle cylindrical rolls during transportation to prevent damage and ensure safety. In manufacturing plants, cradles act as an aid by moving rolls from one stage to another. Industries are prioritizing tools that enhance safety, as well as improve productivity. Manufacturers are developing cradles with lightweight and durable features, to make them more appealing to various industries. Industries are using biodegradable cradles which contribute to reducing environmental impacts, which boosts the market.
Alternatives such as custom-built wooden or metal supports can compete with standardized pulp roll cradles and can hinder the growth of the market. Furthermore, regulations on materials such as non-recyclable plastic can challenge manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly materials. Due to supply chains becoming more globalized, there has been an increase in demand for secure and efficient transportation of rolled materials, thus boosting the need for pulp roll cradles. Industrial sectors are progressively prioritizing the safety in workplace, and thus pulp roll cradles are used, leading to future growth in the pulp roll cradles market.
