Rare Earth Elements Market

Global rare earth elements market was valued at US$3.5 Bn in 2020 and is predicted to reach US$7.3 Bn by the end of 2026. The report says the rare earth elements market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.2% between 2022 and 2026.

Market Analysis in Brief

Rare earth elements (REE), also known as rare earth oxides (REO) or lanthanides, are a collection of elements along with yttrium. Over the last couple of decades, the global production of rare earth elements has ramped up significantly, with electric vehicles, clean energy technologies, and high-tech industries continuously being in the limelight. The momentous clean energy revolution predominantly drives rare earth elements industry. Based on atomic weights, REEs are classified as light elements (LREE), and heavy elements (HREE), of which the latter tend to be more expensive and represent the niche markets. Rare earth elements are used in a wide range of application areas ranging from magnets to glass, and from functional ceramics to defense applications, which will continue to sustain the growth of rare earth elements market.

Rare Earth Elements Market

Key Report Findings

  • In 2026, rare earth elements industry to reach nearly US$7.3 Bn in revenue
  • Worldwide rare earth elements market to see more than 2x value growth through 2026
  • Escalating number of wind farms to boost light and heavy RREs
  • China leads its way in both production, and demand
  • Precarious trade policies of China hold a massive influence on industry

Growth Drivers

Clean Energy Technologies Steal the Limelight

As per Fairfield’s analysis, magnets are supposed to hold a value share of over 80% in the rare earth elements industry by 2026. Clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles, and wind power generation are expected to drive the expansion of rare earth elements market over the foreseeable future. Neodymium based magnets, considered ideal for EVs, are set to see an uprise in the demand. The global sales of electric vehicles market are predicted to reach 32 million units by 2030, a 10x rise from the existing sales.

Sustained Uptake by Wind Farms

Another major application that might benefit from vehicle electrification is NiMH batteries, an active element in hybrid vehicles. Light rare earth elements such as lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and samarium are key beneficiaries of this trend. Besides, REEs also forms an integral part of modern wind farms. The growth of wind farms will remain the mainstay to drive demand for light as well as heavy rare earth elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium used in wind turbine motors.

In 2020, despite the pandemic, the global offshore wind industry had its second-best year ever. The cumulative offshore wind power capacity is forecasted to reach 228 GW by 2030 with 40 GW/year new installations between 2020 and 2030. According to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), wind energy could account for more than 35% of the global energy mix.

Growing Application in Efficient Lighting

Rare earth elements market is also expected to thrive on the back of growing application of magnets in phosphors, thus becoming an essential accessory to modern-day energy-efficient lights. Investment in newer technologies and innovation in recycling will create new opportunities for the market. There is a huge possibility of reclaiming REEs from end-of-life electronics which in turn will draw new investments from both new entrants as well as existing companies in the rare earth elements industry.

Growth Challenges

REE Scarcity

Apart from REEs use as a permanent magnet in electronics, polishing powders, phosphors, and functional ceramics have also become key REE applications. There is also growing adoption of REEs in the polishing powders also known as cerium oxide polishing powder. These cerium oxide powders have become main polishing material for tablet, smartphone, and LCD screens. Owing to the current shortages in the rare earth elements market, recovery of rare earths from secondary resources such as the rare-earth polishing powder waste (REPPW), has become a hot topic in global research.

Constant Threat in Form of Export Quotas, and China’s Trade Policy

In the recent past, the rare earth elements market has become highly susceptible to supply chain disruptions, fluctuating tariffs, sourcing restrictions & regulations, as well as soaring product prices. Current COVID-19 crisis has also highlighted supply chain issues prompting governments and downstream industries to look for effective alternatives. The first half of 2022 has observed rare-earth prices hitting the highest point in a decade.

With burgeoning demand for rare earth elements and projected supply shortages, there is a hanging sword of lowered export quotas from China to fulfil its own ambitions. To tackle the issue governments across the Western economies are targeting the recycling of rare earth elements as one of the key supply sources in the future. This will perhaps alleviate market supply volatility and soaring price issues for some of the products. One of the major challenges in the current market scenario is to establish a robust supply chain outside China.

Overview of Key Segments

Magnets accounted for more than 30% of total rare earth volume owing to the mounting consumption from EVs, consumer electronics and wind turbine technologies. Catalyst is another major application area, especially in the U.S., and Europe chiefly driven by petroleum refining, and vehicle exhaust catalytic converters. Lanthanum, and Cerium are the foundation of these catalysts as they are used to stabilize the chemistry and structure of zeolites used in crude oil refining. Lean NOx Trap (LNT) technology uses cerium as a foremost catalyst to control emissions.

Growth Opportunities Across Regions

China Spearheads Demand, and Production

In 2020, global production of rare earth elements stood at 243 KT, with China leading the market. In 2020, China accounted for more than 85% of the refined supply (separation and processing) of rare earth elements. China maintains its dominance on the rare earth sources; however, over decade its share in the supply of REE ore and concentrates has drastically dropped to 58% in 2020. Australia, the U.S., and Myanmar have increased their share substantially in the global rare earth elements market. Asia Pacific continues to be the largest consumer of rare earth elements and is expected to hold over 80% of the global market.  

Countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea have very strong downstream integrated capacities to convert REE into value added products such as magnets, catalysts, alloys, and metals. On the other hand, North America, and Europe are the major import destinations, relying mostly on China to meet its growing demand for REE into the foreseeable future. There are upcoming mining projects in Australia, and Eastern & Southern countries in Africa. Quad nations (the U.S, India, Australia, and Japan) intends to build a supply-chain to break China’s monopoly; however, it will be a huge challenge to compete with China’s downstream capabilities in the global rare earth elements market.

New Processing Capacities, and Strategic Collaborations Collectively Gather Momentum Outside China

Companies positioned in China have state-backed funding in both infrastructure, and technology giving them an upper hand in the global rare earth elements market. These companies largely control the prices, making it challenging for other regions to compete. Illegal extraction and mining in China have remained a major challenge with the government determined to curb the problem. To tackle this issue, in 2021, China merged Chinalco, China Minmetals Corporation, and Ganzhou Rare Earth Group to form ‘China Rare Earth Group Co. Ltd.’. The top five players in the market accounted for more than 70% of the total REE market in 2021.

Outside China, Lynas Rare Earth Ltd., and MP Materials are among the largest producers of rare earth elements. Lynas extracts ore from Australia and sends it to Malaysia for further separating and processing, wherein MP Materials transfer its ore concentrates to China. Private companies have an opportunity to join the rare earth elements market due to their financial backing and operational flexibilities. The U.S. along with its DoE has planned to bring on one or more projects to curb its dependency on China. Russia also has unveiled a US$1.5 Bn plan with cheaper loans and lower mining taxes to compete with China’s monopoly on the market.

FAQs : Rare Earth Elements Market

Transformation of the automobile industry towards electrification coupled with surge in demand for clean energy technologies such as wind power are major factors shaping the demand for rare earth elements globally.

The global Rare Earth Elements market was valued at US$ 3.5 Bn in 2020 and is predicted to be valued at US$ 7.3 Bn by the end of 2026, wherein magnet is expected to hold more than 3/4th of the total market value.

Asia Pacific is the largest consumer and producer of rare earth elements. In 2020, Asia Pacific held the highest share and will continue to dominate the demand by 2026. Rising vehicle electrification and huge investments in offshore wind farms will boost the demand in the region.

China accounts for more than 90% of the supply. U.S. and Europe are heavily dependent on China for the supply of rare earth elements. Both the regions aim to strengthen future supply of REE and are investing in key projects in Africa and South America regions.

China-based players have stranglehold on the global REE Market. These companies not only have access to entire REE value chain but are also involved in downstream industries such as magnets, batteries, polishing powders, etc.

Our Research Methodology

Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast. A myriad of predetermined factors must be accounted for such as the degree of risk involved, the magnitude of circumstances, as well as conditions or consequences that are not known or unpredictable. To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
