Key Findings of Study

  • Surge in Usage of Rare Earth Metals as Permanent Magnets: Recent market trends indicate a rise in preference for rare earth magnets (over regular magnets) in a wide range of industrial and engineering applications due to their high demagnetization forces. Rare earth metals are widely being utilized in magnets that work under high temperature conditions.

    Continuous advancements in permanent magnet technology are fueling utilization of alloys containing Neodymium (Nd), Samarium (Sm), Gadolinium (Gd), and Praseodymium (Pr). Rapid increase adoption of rare earth magnets, especially SmCo and GdCo magnets, in generators, actuators, and medical devices is bolstering market growth.
  • Significant Demand for Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets in Clean Energy Technologies, Especially Wind Turbines and EV Motors: Considerable demand for clean energy technologies, such as wind turbine generators and electric vehicles, is anticipated to augment market growth. Surge in neodymium rare earth magnets (NdFeB) in wind turbines and electric vehicle motors is expected to propel the market.

    Rapid increase in adoption of rare earth magnets, including samarium cobalt (SmCo) and neodymium magnets (NdFeB), can be ascribed to decline in their production costs and the fact that they help reduce the size and weight of components particularly for wind turbines generators. NdFeB magnets also ensure high power for generators. Ongoing research in ocean-based renewable energy technologies is likely to create lucrative opportunities for companies operating in the rare earth metals industry.

Key Drivers

  • Steady expansion of demand for smart and compact/miniaturized electronic devices and components from industrial and consumer sectors is a key factor driving the demand for rare earth elements (REE). Rapid development of the consumer electronics sectors in developing regions around the globe is a significant driver of the rare earth metals market.
  • Considerable focus of governments to promote clean energy technologies and support clean energy transition by industries are expected to drive the rare earth metals industry. For instance, the U.S. plans to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050-end, which is likely to bolster requirements for rare earth metals in offshore wind turbines and battery-operated electric vehicles and all-electric vehicles.
