The global market for the Mold Release Agent is anticipated to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.89% throughout the course of the forecast, to reach USD 2989.883 Million by 2028.
The growing demand for mold release coated plastics, speedily increasing construction activities, and rising expenditure on research and development activities are driving the growth of the target market. Rapid urbanization and growing disposable income, globally flourishing pet food processing sector, increasing crude oil production across the globe, and growing automobile production and sales along with the rising lubricants usage are estimated to propel the growth of the global mold release agent market over the forecast period. Employment of strict laws and regulations by different government bodies on the use of toxic organic chemicals in the production of mold release may hinder the target market growth.
Mold release agents are mainly used for shielding mold surfaces against damaging compounds and also for simply releasing parts from complex dies. It is a chemical used to prevent the adhesion of molding surfaces to substrates. These chemical agents make a boundary between the mold surface and substrate to stop the mixing of surface and substrate. A mold release agent is planned, predominantly for casting and mold making, and works with typically liquid plastic products and liquid rubber. It can also release mold from rubbers flooring, plaster, wood, concrete, and few modeling clays. These mold release agents are effective over an extensive temperature spectrum, ranging from 65°F to 500°F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
Mold release agents have exceptional greasing and cooling properties, antibacterial, and anticorrosion properties, and high constancy and efficiency at high mold temperatures. Owing to these properties, they are extensively used in the die-casting industry.
Key players operating in the target market are more focused on business strategies to enter into the global market. Though, the global market is observing a growing shift toward the alliance. This can be attributed to mergers and acquisitions by major key players operating in the U.S. and Europe to exploit untapped emerging markets such as Africa and the Asia Pacific. For instance, in June 2019, Henkel showcased its new Bonderite product at ‘GIFA 2019’, an event held at Düsseldorf, Germany. The product is developed for die-casting solutions employed for lubricating, surface treatment, cleaning, and bonding.
Product Type Segment
The global mold release agent market is segmented into water-based and solvent-based. The water-based mold release agent product type is projected to lead the mold release agents market in terms of revenue. The lack of various harmful chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water-based types makes them beneficial to the environment and they also omit the risks regarding safety and health compared to solvent-based mold release agents. The rising awareness about the use of environmentally friendly products has augmented, and this leads to its growing demand. Besides, water-based mold release agents are non-flammable, which is further raising its demand.
Application Segment
Based on the application, the market is segmented into die-casting, rubber molding, plastic molding, PU molding, concrete, wood composite & panel pressing, and composite molding. The increasing demand for PU in numerous applications such as automotive seating, interior spaces of automobiles, furniture, bedding, and footwear soles is driving its demand. The second-largest application is expected to be the die casting segment and is expected to lead the target market over the forecast period owing to the growing use of die casting in the automotive sector and the organic development of vehicles in the future.
The global mold release agent market has a wide presence in North America, Europe, APAC, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.
