According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Mold Release Agents Market by Product (Water-Based, Solvents-Based), Type (External, Internal, Semi-Permanent), Application (Die-Casting, PU Molding, Rubber Molding, Composite Molding, Plastic Molding, Concrete, Wood Composite and Panel Pressing, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global mold release agents market size reached USD 2.4 Billion in 2024. Mold release agents are substances that prevent materials from sticking to mold during the manufacturing or casting process. They are applied to the surface of the mold to create a barrier between the mold and the material being molded. They help in the easy removal of finished products from the molds without causing any damage. They also reduce the wear and tear on molds caused by repeated use. Besides this, they aid in minimizing the friction and stress on the mold surface, extending its lifespan, preventing surface defects and blemishes, which can be caused due to sticking or tearing during demolding.
Global Mold Release Agents Market Trends:
The increasing use of mold release agents for producing various composite parts for fiberglass, carbon fiber, and reinforced plastics represents one of the major factors augmenting the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising utilization of mold release agents in tire production and the growing adoption of the die-casting technique for manufacturing metal body parts of vehicles are influencing the market positively. In addition, the increasing demand for intricate and complex mold designs is driving the usage of high performance mold release agents to facilitate the demolding of complex parts without compromising on surface quality or damaging the mold. Apart from this, governing agencies of numerous countries are implementing stringent regulations to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and consequently encouraging leading players to develop environment friendly mold release agents with low emission levels. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 4.0 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.71% during 2025-2033.
