Global Internal Mould Release Agent (IMR) Market demonstrates steady expansion, currently valued at USD 58.9 million in 2024. Industry projections indicate a 4.0% CAGR through 2032, reaching USD 77 million as manufacturing sectors increasingly adopt these chemical solutions for efficiency gains in moulding operations.
Internal Mould Release Agents represent specialized formulations that integrate directly into composite materials during production. Unlike traditional external release methods, these additives migrate to surfaces during curing, reducing adhesion through chemical separation mechanisms. Their growing adoption reflects industry's shift toward automated, high-yield manufacturing processes.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific commands 40% of global IMR consumption, with China's massive polymer production sector driving demand. The region's manufacturing growth, particularly in automotive components and consumer electronics, creates sustained need for efficient moulding solutions. Japan maintains technological leadership in precision formulations, while India emerges as a high-growth market with expanding domestic production capabilities.
North America exhibits strong demand from aerospace and medical device manufacturers, where stringent quality requirements favor advanced solvent-based formulations. Europe's market grows moderately, shaped by environmental regulations pushing adoption of water-based alternatives. Both regions increasingly focus on sustainable solutions, though performance requirements in specialized applications continue driving solvent-based product demand.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
Three primary factors propel IMR market expansion: First, composite material adoption across automotive and aerospace sectors reduces component weight by 20-30%, necessitating compatible release agents. Second, manufacturing automation trends favor integrated release solutions that eliminate manual application steps. Third, rubber industry growth, particularly in tire manufacturing, consumes 32% of global IMR output annually.
Emerging opportunities include bio-based formulations development and Industry 4.0 integration. Smart manufacturing systems now enable 10-15% efficiency gains through automated IMR dosing control, while plant-derived alternatives address sustainability concerns without compromising release performance.
Challenges & Restraints
The market faces regulatory headwinds as solvent-based formulations, representing 75% of current sales, contain VOCs subject to tightening restrictions in developed markets. Formulation limitations also emerge with advanced composites, where material-reagent interactions can affect surface finishes. Supply chain vulnerabilities for specialty silicones periodically disrupt production and pricing stability across global markets.
