The release agents market is estimated at USD 925.4 million in 2018, and projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1%, to reach USD 1,131.3 million by 2023.

Asian countries, especially China, have emerged as leading destinations, thereby facilitating the market shift from developed economies to developing economies. One of the major restraints in the growth of the release agents market is the international regulations governing the use of release agents in food.
