Rare Earth Elements Market
Growth Factors of Rare Earth Elements Market
The rare earth elements market size was valued at USD 3.39 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 3.74 billion in 2024 to USD 8.14 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The COVID-19 outbreak significantly disrupted the rare earth elements market growth and consequently imposed supply limitations to industries including automotive and electronics that rely on these minerals to make alloys. Cars and electronics, such as infotainment systems and permanent magnetic attractions in automobiles and other accessories reduced during the period. On the other hand, new orders from manufacturing ventilators and electric vehicles have improved from 2.2 million units in 2019 to 3.1 million units in 2020 reducing the situation.
The growing demand for cerium, lanthanum & europium in automobile, electronics, communication technology, aerospace & wind energy sectors is expected to drive the rare earth elements market share. Cerium used in polishing display panels and magnetic disks, is in demand in electronics. Moreover using elements such as lanthanum and samarium in batteries, lasers and optical electronics.
Further, the increasing application of lithium-ion batteries across the automotive industry and consumer electronics segments also motivates the rare earth elements market’s growth. These batteries are utilized in EVs due to their high energy density, while the global stock of electric cars stood at USD 4.79 million in 2019. Lithium-ion batteries also find applications in electronics laptops and mobile phones, thus contributing to market growth.
