Global Dried Cashew Nut Snack Market Drivers

Healthy snacking as a rising concern and a trend has been a key driver for the market

Healthy snacking has been a gripping trend, which has been extremely potent in western countries like the US and European Union countries. Snacks were earlier associated with high sugar content food with lots of salt and other additives- which had the potential to spoil one’s health. For example, a Cheetos puff of two ounces had 300 calories with 20 grams of total fat and 600 mg of sodium. Similarly, packaged frozen snacks such as Biscuit Bacon have around 300 calories with 2.5 grams of trans-fat and 940 mg of sodium. On average, a supermarket in a developed country has around 65-70% of food items that have ill effects on one’s health. Moreover, Americans on average eat about 3400 mg of sodium, against the dietary guideline of 2300 mg per day. Higher sodium intake has been linked with various forms of cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure or hypertension. As per WHO, around 700 million adults have hypertension and are living without medications. Health officials have often contributed that replacing such snacks with nut mixes can fulfill various purposes. Most of the nut mixes have monounsaturated fats, with plenty of proteins and necessary micronutrients.

Global Dried Cashew Nut Snack Market Challenges

A substantial growth noticed in other forms of plant proteins and other forms of new product launches has impeded the market growth
