Strategic Insights
Mold Release Agents Market Growth Drivers- Manufacturing Growth: Manufacturing growth is a strong market driver for mold release agents. The need to produce more high-quality molded items arises in applications like automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods with expanded industries, and the process is in demand. They are integral to these applications because they ensure economical production and the integrity of the finished item, thus fueling demand in the market.
- Technological Advancements in Manufacturing: Moreover, technological advance enhances the associated production activities. New techniques for manufacturing products, such as injection and compression molding, require the use of good mold release agents to enhance productivity. To make further progress in modernization, manufacturers need more specific solutions for mold release, and this keeps coming with new opportunities in the marketplace for suppliers.
- Impact of Global Supply Chains on Competition: Global supply chains further intensified intercompany rivalry. To operate at an optimum level with minimum downtime, companies increasingly apply high-performance mold release agents. At the same time, it calls for emphasis on reliable, efficient agents that can serve to meet a range of manufacturing needs and push the market forward.
- Shift Towards Biodegradable Release Agents: The mold release agents market is being reoriented by rising demand for environmentally friendly and biodegradable release agents. Even as consumers and producers alike are gaining more and more concern about the environment, this creates a need for products that minimize their impact on the environment, thus triggering innovation in this sector. Companies are actively looking for the replacement of traditional agents from petroleum.
- Regulatory Pressures and Consumer Awareness: The regulatory pressures and increased awareness among consumers about environmental issues further the movement. The governments are imposing strict regulations over the use of chemicals in food production, and thus the manufacturers have to shift towards safer and biodegradable options, which works in the interest of a larger market.
- Advantages of Biodegradable Release Agents: Biodegradable release agents have several advantages, including waste minimization and the reduction of toxicity levels. Such products can give food manufacturers a benefit in environmental branding by appealing to an increasing demographic that seriously considers environmental concerns when purchasing products. Suppliers are therefore engaging in research and development to create effective, environmentally friendly formulations for these market demands.
- Development of Water-based and Natural Alternatives: Opportunities in mold release agents can be derived through the development of water-based and natural alternatives. As a result of constraints around the use of VOCs, water-based formulations are becoming the preferred choice of most manufacturers who desire to reduce the consumption levels of VOCs. Water-based and natural alternatives work effectively with a minimal environmental footprint. These are as attractive to environmentally sensitive consumers and industries, too.
- Growing Demand for Natural Alternatives: Growing presence of natural alternatives, sourced from renewable resources. Following an improvement in awareness concerning health and safety, food processors increasingly are focusing on non-toxic, plant-based release agents. Such agents are fulfilling two stringent requirements: meeting the expectations of strict regulations, and further improving the safety profile of food products, which becomes very appealing for manufacturers.
- Technological Advancements: In addition, new technologies are aiding in improving efficiency through newer water-based and natural formulations. These newer agents provide better release properties and ease of use, so the manufacturer can optimize the production process. These alternatives are being incorporated into current production lines. The alternative using natural and water-based mold release agents is potential growth for the market, as this replaces consumer demands for a safer and greener product option. It will help manufacturers meet regulatory demands and enable operation efficiency.

The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
