Rare Earth Metals Market |
The Global Rare Earth Metals Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5317.05 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Rare earth metals include seventeen chemical elements which occur in
earth's crust and are important for manufacturing various products like
magnets, rechargeable batteries, mobile phones, electric vehicles etc. Due to
uniqueness of their magnetic, luminescence and electrochemical properties, rare
earth metals are widely used across industries for development of new
technologies.
Market key trends:
Rare earth metals find extensive usage in manufacturing permanent magnets
used in various industrial applications such as wind turbines, electric
vehicles and consumer electronics. Strong demand from renewable energy and
electric vehicles segment has been a major growth driver for rare earth metals
market. According to research, usage of rare earth elements in permanent
magnets is projected to grow at over 7% annually during the forecast period.
Growth in global clean energy infrastructure is expected to boost demand for
neodymium and dysprosium which are key components of high-performance permanent
magnets. Increasing investments by governments worldwide in developing
sustainable energy sources will further fuel consumption of rare earth metals
in the coming years.
Segment Analysis
The global rare earth metals market is segmented on
the basis of type into light rare earth metals, which includes lanthanum,
cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, and europium, and heavy
rare earth metals such as gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium,
thulium, ytterbium, lutetium and scandium. The light rare earth metals segment
dominates the market and accounted for over 70% share in 2023. This is because
light rare earth metals find wide applications in catalysts, glass polishing, petroleum
refining, and phosphors among others.
