Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Cashew Nut Shell Oil market size was valued at US$ 28.4 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 47.3 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.2% during review period.

Cashew Nut Shell Oil (CNSO) is a versatile component of the Cashew fruits’ nut. The oil which is a dark reddish-brown in colour is resident in a soft honeycomb shell, that is the pericarp of the nut. It is a natural resin that could serve as a valuable raw material for multiple applications. Rapid growth in the world population and increasing standard of living has overstretched petroleum resources as petrochemical feedstock. This among other factors, has culminated in the fast depletion of global petroleum reserves. Therefore, to maintain the standard of living and continuity of industrial sector which is paramount to human survival this decade and beyond, there is a need to find alternative sources of fuel and petrochemical feedstock. Cashew nut shell, a by-product of the cashew industry, is an embodiment of a useful chemical serving as a raw material for the petrochemical industry.

The Cashew Nut Shell Oil (CNSL) market is experiencing significant growth, driven by its diverse industrial applications and the increasing shift toward bio-based and sustainable chemicals. CNSL, a byproduct of cashew nut processing, is widely used in coatings, adhesives, friction materials (such as brake pads and clutch plates), laminates, bio-based resins, and specialty chemicals due to its high durability, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. As global industries seek to reduce their dependence on petrochemical-based materials, CNSL is gaining traction as an eco-friendly alternative in automotive, construction, and industrial applications. The rising demand for high-performance bio-based coatings and polymers in automotive, aerospace, and infrastructure sectors is a major factor fueling market expansion. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations in Europe and North America are encouraging manufacturers to adopt renewable and low-carbon materials, further supporting CNSL market growth.
