Mould Release Agents Market Growth Analysis Report - Market Size, Share, Forecast Trends and Outlook (2025-2034)

The global mould release agents market reached a value of around USD 2.30 Billion in 2024. The industry is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, reaching a value of USD 3.93 Billion by 2034.

It is expected that the increased use of mould release agents in various applications such as die-casting, rubber moulding, PU moulding, plastic moulding, composite moulding, and concrete will drive the mould release agents market globally.

Market Segmentation

A release agent or mould release agent is a chemical used to avoid binding of one material from the surface of other materials. In processes including mould release, die-cast release, plastic release, adhesive release, and tyre and web release, these agents can provide a solution by acting as a barrier between a moulding surface and the substrate. The global mould release agents industry can be broadly categorised based on segments like product types, applications, and regions.

Market Analysis

Moulds are designed to produce maximum output in single casting and moulding processes, thus, increasing productivity in moulded parts assembly. As the use of these agents results in the reduction of time and operational cost, further increasing efficiency, the demand for the product is growing significantly. Complex dies require more release agents in sculpting and casting applications for uniform cooling and proper release of parts. Thus, it is driving the growth of the global mould release agents industry. The availability of alternative methods like non-stick coatings and the implementation of strict government regulations regarding the emission of harmful compounds can hamper the industry growth over the forecast period.
