Sophisticated Demand for Magnet Unfolds Positive Dynamics for Rare Earth Elements Market

Rare earth elements find their applications across a wide range of areas from functional ceramics to defense applications and magnets to glass. Magnets hold a significant fraction of application rare earth elements. Magnets are extensively used in a huge spectrum of industries viz electronics, power generation, medical, and automotive. This has raised the demand for magnets over the recent years. Soaring consumption of EVs, wind turbine technologies, and consumer electronics have garnered magnets a share of 30% in overall rare earth elements volume. Additional use of magnets in diverse medical equipment such as pacemakers, MRI machines, insulin pumps, and sleep apnea machines have further fueled the demand for these elements. An uptick in demand and growing usage of magnets are driving the global rare earth elements market toward fruition.

Asia Pacific Gains Regional Dominance - Strong Uptake of Rare Earth Elements, Robust Investments in Offshore Wind Farms Create Headways for Market Expansion

The Asia Pacific garners the top position in the global rare earth element market. Presence of major automotive and electronics manufacturers puts China at the beating heart of the rare earth elements market. Recently, China has observed a proliferation in extraction activities and industrialization. As the implications of these factors unfold, the demand for rare earth elements has risen incessantly, making APAC the fastest-growing region in terms of consumption. Going forward, the robust investments in offshore wind farms along with the healthcare industry and growing vehicle electrification are set to propel abundant gains throughout the forecasted period.

Iluka Resources Limited, Aluminum Corp of China, Arafura Resources Limited, and Lynas Rare Earths Ltd. are a few competitive entities operating in the global rare earth elements market.
