The squash balls market analysis has been performed by considering the following segments: product type and distribution channel. By product type, the squash balls market is segmented into blue dot ball, rest dot ball, single yellow dot ball, double yellow dot ball, and others. The double yellow dot ball segment held the largest share in the squash balls market in 2024. The double yellow dot ball is also known as the prime or pro squash ball. It has two yellow dots and is the smallest of all the balls. It is made of a durable rubber compound with a diameter of 40 mm.

It is designed to be hard to warm up so that professional players can play forceful shots and fast rallies without the ball becoming overly bouncy. Based on distribution channel, the market is segmented into supermarkets and hypermarkets, specialty stores, online retail, and others. The specialty stores segment held the largest share of the squash balls market in 2024.
