Mold Release Agents Market by Product Type (Water-based, Solvent-based), Application (Die-casting, Rubber Molding, Plastic Molding, PU Molding, Concrete, Wood Composite & Panel Pressing, Composite Molding), and Region- Global Forecast to 2027

The global mold release agents market will grow to USD 2.6 Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 5.7% from USD 2.0 Billion in 2022. The growing automotive and construction industries and increasing demand for mold release agents from various applications have a positive impact on the mold release agents’ market. The market is expected to witness further growth due to rapid infrastructure development in emerging economies. However, stringent regulations regarding the use of solvent-based mold release agents and rising use of non-stick coatings on mold may slow down the market growth. Manufacturers are also trying to overcome the issues of difficulty in fluctuating raw material prices for the mold release agents.

“Water-based mold release agents type is projected to be the fastest-growing type of mold release agents market during the forecast period.”

The water-based mold release agents segment is projected to lead the mold release agents market, in terms of both value and volume, during the forecast period. The larger share is mainly because water-based mold release agents are free of chemicals and VOCs, which make them environmentally friendly. In addition, they are non-flammable and can be diluted easily, enabling shipment in concentrated form. Furthermore, the dominance of water-based mold release agents in the market is expected to continue in the next five years due to the stringent policies and regulations on the use of solvent-based mold release agents.

“Die-casting application is estimated to be the largest application in mold release agents market, in terms of value, in 2021”

The die-casting application segment dominated the global mold release agents market, accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, in 2021.
