Key Highlights
The rare earth metals market was valued at USD 8,315.9 million in 2023, which will touch USD 15,485.4 million, with more than 9.0% compound annual growth rate, by 2030.
The rising requirement for catalysts is a key factor driving the growth of this industry.
Rare earth metals are widely utilized in catalyst systems because they enhance the chemical reaction rate without themselves enduring any permanent chemical alteration, by absorbing, storing, and releasing oxygen, and steadying the surroundings in which they work.
Some key applications of catalysts include chemical processing, petroleum refining, catalytic converters, industrial pollution scrubbers, and diesel additives.
The main minerals employed in catalyst systems are cerium and lanthanum. They are employed as fluid cracking catalysts in oil refineries and as catalysts in automotive catalytic converters for cars as well as various other automobiles.
The rising application of semiconductors is a major trend in this industry. The improvements in IoT, wirelessly connected devices, and AI, are generating a significant requirement for semiconductors.
Most of these novel devices are armed with a single system on a chip, to provide prominent levels of incorporation.
SoCs also enable the devices to function with great power efficiency and improved security, by incorporating memory, processors, RF transceivers, power management, connectivity components, and sensors, in one unit.
Key Insights
APAC is likely to propel at the fastest compound annual growth rate, of approximately 9%, in the years to come.
China is their largest producer as the nation is home to the largest reserves of the major rare earth elements, and the nation also accounts for a significant share of the global output.
APAC has the largest base for electronics production. These elements are employed in TVs, smartphones, and other power-efficient devices.
North America will advance at the second-fastest CAGR in the years to come.
The rising end-use sectors, increasing production of consumer electronics, surging utilization of semiconductors because of technological improvement, and rising population of tech-savvy populaces, are driving the market in North America.
Neodymium is likely to generate approximately USD 6,840 million in revenue by the end of this decade.
The use of neodymium magnets in aircraft, HEVs, and consumer electronics like audio systems, TVs, and mobile phones is rising.
Lanthanum demand is likely to increase at a moderate rate in the coming years because it has applications across different electrical appliances and consumer electronics.
The magnets category accounted for the largest share of the industry in 2023, of approximately 37%, and it will remain the largest throughout this decade.
The high requirement for rare earth minerals in consumer electronics is boosting the expansion of the magnets category.
The catalysts category was the second-largest contributor to the industry in 2023.
Cerium and lanthanum are generally employed in catalyst systems. Also, they are utilized in the illuminated screens on air pollution control systems, electronic devices, and in the e-polishing of optical glass.
The rare earth metals industry is consolidated in nature, with a small number of large-scale vendors accounting for the major industry share.
Major players are significantly investing in comprehensive research & development activities to improve their presence in the industry.
