The Global Rare Earth Metals Market is projected to experience significant growth, with market size expected to expand from approximately USD 8.42 billion in 2024 to around USD 19.62 billion by 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 11.15%. This growth is primarily driven by increasing demand across industries such as electronics, renewable energy, electric vehicles (EVs), automotive, and defense.

Key factors influencing this market include:

• High-performance magnets (e.g., neodymium and dysprosium) used in EV motors and wind turbines.
• Catalysts, ceramics, phosphors, glass polishing, metallurgy, and other industries relying on rare earth elements.
• Investment in clean energy initiatives and electric vehicle production globally.
• Expansion of rare earth production and processing capabilities, especially in Asia-Pacific, led by China, Japan, and India.
• Government policies aimed at fostering domestic production, recycling programs, and securing resilient supply chains for critical materials.
• Technological advancements in extraction, refining, and recycling to meet supply chain and sustainability needs.
• The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China with a dominant market share, is projected to be the fastest-growing market due to extensive reserves and manufacturing bases.
• North America and Europe are investing heavily to reduce import reliance and strengthen domestic industries.

Key market segments by element include cerium, neodymium, lanthanum, dysprosium, terbium, and others, with significant application in magnets, catalysts, and batteries. The market is crucial for supporting the global shift toward renewable energy technologies and electrified transportation by 2032.

Overall, the global rare earth metals market is positioned for robust expansion propelled by technological, environmental, and geopolitical factors shaping the demand and supply landscape through 2032.

The rare earth elements (REEs) expected to face the largest supply deficits by 2032 are primarily the heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), including:

• Dysprosium
• Terbium
• Yttrium

These elements are critical for high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and advanced electronic devices. The supply of these heavy rare earths is constrained due to their geological scarcity and concentration of production largely in China, which controls a significant majority of global mining, processing, and magnet production. Terbium prices, for example, have surged by over 76% in recent years due to limited availability and growing demand in green technologies.

In addition, neodymium and praseodymium, used in permanent magnets for EV motors and other applications, will also experience tight supply conditions as demand accelerates with the global transition to clean energy and electrification.

Light rare earth elements (LREEs) like lanthanum and cerium are more abundant and expected to have relatively more stable supplies, although increasing demand from automotive and industrial sectors is still significant.

Supply chain vulnerabilities are heightened by dependencies on a few key producing countries, especially China, along with environmental, geopolitical, and regulatory challenges. These factors contribute to price volatility and risks of supply disruption for critical rare earth elements by 2032.

Efforts to diversify supply sources, expand mining outside China, and advance recycling technologies are underway, but the market is likely to continue facing deficits in key heavy rare earth elements needed for green and high-tech applications.

The industries that will compete most for neodymium and dysprosium supplies by 2032 are:

• Electric Vehicles (EVs): Neodymium and dysprosium are key components of high-performance NdFeB permanent magnets used in EV motors for power density, efficiency, and thermal resistance. With the rapid global growth in EV production, demand is surging rapidly.
• Wind Turbines: Both elements are essential in magnets for wind turbine generators, especially offshore wind, where lighter, more efficient magnets optimize turbine performance. The expansion of renewable energy capacity is a major demand driver.
• Defense and Military: Advanced defense technologies such as guided munitions, radar, and aerospace systems rely on dysprosium-enriched magnets for heat resistance and reliability.
• Electronics: Consumer electronics and high-tech equipment use magnets containing these elements for compactness and performance.
• Renewable Energy Storage: Battery and energy storage technologies increasingly incorporate rare earth magnets to improve efficiency and reliability.

Neodymium and dysprosium demand is forecasted to rise rapidly due to the electrification and green energy transition globally, with neodymium demand for battery electric vehicles projected to rise eleven-fold by 2032. Dysprosium demand is projected to increase over 10% annually, driven heavily by EVs and wind turbines. This intensifying competition across these industries places significant pressure on securing stable and sustainable supply chains for these critical rare earth elements.
