The global cashew milk market size was valued at USD 44.05 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 75.37 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.15% from 2022 to 2030.
A non-dairy milk alternative called cashew milk is made by combining water and cashews in a processing plant. A cashew mill's end product is processed through several stages, including drying, soaking, washing, sieving, extraction, filtration, cooling, and storage. Additionally, cashews have been used to produce many goods, including nut meal, alcohol, shell oil, and cashew bagasse. With the development of technology, cashew milk has also shown to be a product with strong commercial potential. In addition to being consistent with cream and rich in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and protein, high-quality cashew milk is lactose-free, making plant-based milk products a practical substitute for milk from animals.
The fat in cashew milk helps preserve the heart's health because it contains unsaturated and indistinguishable monosaturated fats in about 75% of its composition. Cashew milk also has additional nutritional and protein benefits, aids blood clotting, anti-cancer properties, lowers cholesterol levels, and strengthens antioxidant defences. It is not only abundant in omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for the body's cell growth and health, but it is also simple to digest. Various businesses are attempting to offer the health advantages of cashew milk. For instance, So Delicious Co. sells unsweetened cashew milk, a dairy substitute that is non-GMO, soy-free, gluten-free, vegan, environmentally friendly, and low in calories. Many market players do, however, use a variety of additives that help give cashew milk its thickness and flavour, such as Xantham Gum and Guar Gum for thickening and vanilla and cinnamon for flavour, respectively. It is produced with cashews and separated water.
The development of plant-based foods is just one of many aspects that are causing the market to grow. Contrarily, cashew milk is heavily promoted as a calcium-rich vegetable beverage. Due to its low sugar and fat content, customers are drawn to it. For many consumers, cashew milk is gradually replacing traditional dairy milk, and key players are becoming more significant in the restaurant business. To capitalize on this trend, businesses have developed gluten-free cashew milk. Startups are profiting from the trend for plant-based and non-dairy food products in addition to the major players. Demand for low-fat dairy products like cashew milk has increased due to patients' alarmingly high death rate from high cholesterol. More people turn to cashew milk if they lack vitamin B12 and B2. The demand for frozen desserts also influences the market for cashew milk. Non-dairy goods are being added to the portfolios of value chain participants, such as frozen desserts made with coconut milk, almond milk, and cashew milk.
Concerns about weight management, a focus on weight loss and maintenance, enhancements to blood clotting, a reduction in cholesterol, aiding in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia, and importance placed on blood sugar spike control are a few of the factors that have been driving the market growth. In addition to having high levels of calcium, vitamin E, vitamin D, fibre, and calories, cashew milk has also proven to be highly effective at boosting antioxidant levels, offering low sugar and calorie content, and acting as a reliable source of calcium. This promotes high bone density, digestive health, and weight management. The demand for cashew milk is noticeably rising in addition to rising vegan diet practices, worries about antibody residues or growth hormones in animal milk, preference for cereal-based milk, and avoidance of dairy-based products for medical conditions like radioiodine cancer, eczema, eyesight problems, weaker bone density, and hypercholesterolemia.
Along with the high cost of cashews worldwide, covid 19 also harmed the market for cashew milk because supply chains were disrupted, and production lines were shut down to stop the virus from spreading. Another significant barrier to the market is the widespread accessibility of conventional milk. The global cashew milk market's growth is further constrained by shifting lifestyle trends, where consumers are turning to goods that promote the development of a high immunity, as well as by efforts to standardize quality and put good manufacturing practices into place.

The automotive industry is critical to the economy's growth. However, during the second and third quarters of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the whole automotive supply chain, affecting new car sales in FY 2020.
South America is most affected by COVID-19, with Brazil leading the way, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina. South America's government (SAM) has taken a number of steps to protect its citizens and stem the spread of COVID-19. South America is expected to have fewer export revenues as commodity prices fall and export volumes fall, particularly to China, Europe, and the United States, which are all significant trading partners. The manufacturing industry, especially automotive manufacturing, has been damaged by containment measures in various South American countries. Due to the pandemic, major automotive manufacturers have also temporarily halted manufacturing in the region as a cost-cutting move. Furthermore, the automobile disc brake industry has been significantly affected in 2020 due to a lack of raw materials and supply chain disruption.
The Automotive Brake System control module of a vehicle is meant to alert the driver with a warning light if the system fails. The module itself is rarely defective; instead, the sensors or the wiring to the sensors are frequently defective. The most typical cause of dysfunction is when the Automotive Brake System is contaminated with particles or metal shavings. There is no signal continuity when sensor wiring is destroyed. Brake fluid becomes contaminated in corrosive situations, and the hydraulic unit fails to function.
