Market Dynamics

Introduction

Mold-release agents are substances used to prevent materials from sticking to molds during the manufacturing process. They are applied to the surface of the mold to create a barrier between the mold and the material being molded, such as plastics, rubber, or composites. Mold release agents facilitate easy and efficient demolding by reducing friction and adhesion between the mold and the molded part. They help prevent damage to the molded part and maintain the integrity of the mold. Mold release agents can be in the form of sprays, liquids, or semi-solid materials, and they play a crucial role in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Segments Analysis

By Type

The mold release agents market is segmented based on the type as Water-based, Solvent-based, and others. The water-based mold release agents segment currently dominates the market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Water-based mold release agents find a wide array of applications in die casting, and they also restrict the adhesion of molding surfaces to substrates. Furthermore, these release agents offer the benefits of environmental-friendliness and low VOC emissions. Solvent-based mold release agents have continuously been losing their share to water-based ones, owing to the growing stringent regulations during the forecast period.

By Application Type

Based on the application type, the mold release agents market is segmented into Die Casting, Rubber, Concrete, Plastic, Food Processing, Paper, and others. Die casting dominates the market currently accounting for nearly one-fourth of the market. The application type is also likely to remain the market’s largest segment during the forecast period, driven by a higher usage of die casting in the automotive industry. Organic growth of vehicles in the coming years is likely to drive the demand for mold release agents for this segment in the coming years.

The food processing and rubber segments are likely to depict the highest growth in the coming years. The rising population coupled with increasing disposable income, especially in emerging economies such as China and India, is spurring the growth of mold release agents in the above-mentioned segments.

Regional Insights

Based on the regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for mold release agents during the forecast period. China and India are likely to remain the growth engines of the regional demand for mold release agents in the coming years. Organic growth of end-use industries coupled with increased usage of mold release agents is primarily driving the region’s mold release agents market. The market entry of local/regional players and the capacity expansion of existing players are strengthening the supply chain of the region’s market.

North America and Europe, the other two major markets, are also likely to generate sizeable growth opportunities in the coming five years. The USA is the growth engine of the North American market, whereas Germany, France, Spain, and the UK are acting as the growth engines of the European market, driven by the presence of many automobile manufacturing plants.
