Rare Earth Elements Market Analysis, Market Size,
Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Competitive
Strategies And Forecasts, 2012 To 2020
Increasing permanent magnets demand is anticipated to augment global rare earth elements market
growth over the next five years. Rare earth elements are also known as rare earth metals and belongs to
a group of seventeen elements which comprise similar properties. The group consists of fifteen
lanthanide series elements and yttrium and scandium. Major elements include lanthanum,
praseodymium, cerium and Neodymium. These elements together constituted total rare earth elements
market accounting for over 74% in 2013.
The elements have major applications in technology products such as TVs, computers & tablets, nuclear
batteries, super conductors, miniature, laser repeaters, military technology, various medical devices,
permanent magnets and rechargeable batteries. These are also applied as catalysts in petroleum
refining and automotive industries and as pigments in ceramic and glass. Mostly Neodymium is used in
permanent magnet manufacturing process. Growing applications of permanent magnets in automotive
industries are expected to bolster the rare earth elements market growth.

Growing applications of rare earth elements as a metal catalyst is projected to drive the market growth
over the forecast period. Majorly lanthanum and cerium are used as catalyst in petroleum refining and
metallurgical process. Increasing petroleum and metals demand is anticipated to surge the market
growth over the next five years. Scarcity of these metals and depletion of existing reserves is expected
to hamper the global rare earth metals market growth. The expected depletion of the metals includes
dysprosium and neodymium owing to increasing consumption worldwide. China was the largest
producer of neodymium in 2012 accounting for over 93% of global production. Environmental
regulatory bodies in many nations such as China have banned excessive mining to restrict resources
exploitation. This is projected to have negative impact on rare earth elements market over the next five
years.
Major products in the market include Lanthanum, Cerium, Neodymium, Yttrium, Gadolinium,
Praseodymium and Dysprosium. Cerium followed by Lanthanum was the largest consumed product
segment in 2013 accounting for over 40% of the total market. Cerium is broadly used in petroleum
refining and metallurgy process. Increasing demand for fuel and metals is projected to boost the rare
earth elements market over the forecast period. Neodymium is one of the most popular earth metals
and has applications in permanent magnets. Increasing applications of permanent magnets in electronic
and automotive industries is anticipated to fuel the market growth in the near future.
Rare earth elements market is segmented on the basis of applications into catalysts, magnet,
metallurgy, glass, and polishing. Permanent magnets were the dominant application market in 2013 on
account of increasing applications in automotive and wind turbine. This segment is anticipated to be the
fastest growing market in near future. Catalysts and metallurgy contributed for the second major
market accounting for over 37% of the total market in 2013. Catalysts are used in several industries such
as glass, ceramic, metallurgy, and polishing.

Asia Pacific dominated the rare earth elements market in 2013 owing to economical utilization of
reserves. The product demand is projected to grow at rapid pace due to increasing end-use industries in
emerging economies such as China, India, South Korea and Malaysia. China was the dominant producer
in the region owing to huge number of reserves in 2013. China was also the largest consumer due to
increasing applications in end-use industries. RoW is expected to grow significantly on account of
increasing automotive industries. Russia has reserves accounting for about 19%, the U.S. with 13%,
Australia with 5.4% and India over 3%.
The global rare earth elements market is highly concentrated as few participants contribute for most of
the market. Molycorp and Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare Earth Hi-Tech Co. were the largest players
in the market together accounted for over 37.5% market share in 2013. Other market players include
Indian Rare Earths Ltd, China Rare Earth Holding, Lynas Corporation Limited and Great Western Mineral
Group.
