The North America Flexible Foam Mold Release Agents Market For Transportation size is expected to reach USD 140.85 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “North america flexible foam mold release agents market for transportation Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Vehicle Type [Automotive, Aerospace, Marine, Recreational Vehicles (RVs) & Specialty Vehicles, and Agricultural & Off-road Vehicles], Foam Type, Mold Release Agent Type, and Country (US, Canada, and Mexico) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The North america flexible foam mold release agents market for transportation demand is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period due to advancements in foam manufacturing technology in North America's transportation sector. Innovations such as the development of high-resilience and viscoelastic foams have led to the need for specialized mold release agents that can handle complex formulations and ensure defect-free production. In 2024, BASF's partnered with Future Foam and introduced flexible foam bedding by utilizing 100% domestically produced Biomass Balance (BMB) Lupranate T 80 TDI, highlighting a shift toward sustainable materials in foam production. As manufacturers shift to eco-friendly foam formulations, the demand for flexible foam mold release agents will increase in North America, especially water-based and low-VOC solutions that support sustainability objectives. These technological advancements are driving the North america flexible foam mold release agents market for transportation.

The rising production of automobiles in Mexico is boosting the North america flexible foam mold release agents market for transportation expansion. For instance, the International Trade Administration published data stating that Mexico is the world’s seventh-largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, producing 3.5 million vehicles annually. The flexible foam mold release agents demand will increase in the country with the growing production of automobiles. Additionally, the rising number of aerospace manufacturing firms in Mexico is propelling the flexible foam mold release agents market growth in the country. The Mexican Aerospace Industry Federation (FEMIA) estimates that Mexico’s aerospace sector grew from 100 manufacturing firms and organizations in 2004 to 368 as of mid-2022. Hence, as the number of aerospace manufacturing firms in Mexico increases, the North america flexible foam mold release agents market for transportation also grows.
