Global Rare Earth Market Growth 2025-2031
The global Rare Earth market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5643 million in 2025 to US$ 10130 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2025 to 2031.
Rare earths are usually divided into light and heavy rare earth oxides. The former includes "lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium", including "gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, scandium" "Yttrium", there are more than 250 kinds of rare earth minerals in nature. Major industrial countries in the world have rare strategic resources, rare with a variety of special chemical properties, and are important raw materials for modern industries, especially high-tech industries. Among them, the relative concentration of light rare earth reserves is mainly used in permanent magnet materials, polishing powder, glass ceramics, catalysts and other fields; medium and heavy rare earth reserves are small, mainly used in phosphors, ceramics and other fields, thus, aerospace, military defense, etc. Medium and heavy rare earths will also be used in the field.
China ranks first in the world in rare earth reserves, and is the only country in the world that has the ability to produce all kinds of products in the entire rare earth industry chain. China is the most important seller in the global rare earth market, and is the only country in the world that can provide all 17 rare earth metals, especially military heavy rare earths. 70% of the world's rare earth mineral production comes from China, followed by the United States, Australia, Myanmar, and Thailand. In the Chinese market, major rare earth manufacturers include Northern Rare Earth, Shenghe Resources Holdings, Cmreltd etc. In terms of product types and technologies, rare earth mainly include rare earth oxides, rare earth salts and rare earth metals. Rare earth oxides are the most important product type, accounting for more than 45%.
