Increasing permanent magnets demand is anticipated to augment global rare earth elements market<br />

growth over the next five years. <strong>Rare</strong> earth elements are also known as rare earth metals and belongs to<br />

a group of seventeen elements which comprise similar properties. The group consists of fifteen<br />

lanthanide series elements and yttrium and scandium. Major elements include lanthanum,<br />

praseodymium, cerium and Neodymium. These elements together constituted total rare earth elements<br />

market accounting for over 74% in 2013.<br />

The elements have major applications in technology products such as TVs, computers & tablets, nuclear<br />

batteries, super conductors, miniature, laser repeaters, military technology, various medical devices,<br />

permanent magnets and rechargeable batteries. These are also applied as catalysts in petroleum<br />

refining and automotive industries and as pigments in ceramic and glass. Mostly Neodymium is used in<br />

permanent magnet manufacturing process. Growing applications of permanent magnets in automotive<br />

industries are expected to bolster the rare earth elements market growth.<br />

Growing applications of rare earth elements as a metal catalyst is projected to drive the market growth<br />

over the forecast period. Majorly lanthanum and cerium are used as catalyst in petroleum refining and<br />

metallurgical process. Increasing petroleum and metals demand is anticipated to surge the market<br />

growth over the next five years. Scarcity of these metals and depletion of existing reserves is expected<br />

to hamper the global rare earth metals market growth. The expected depletion of the metals includes<br />

dysprosium and neodymium owing to increasing consumption worldwide. China was the largest<br />

producer of neodymium in <strong>2012</strong> accounting for over 93% of global production. Environmental<br />

regulatory bodies in many nations such as China have banned excessive mining to restrict resources<br />

exploitation. This is projected to have negative impact on rare earth elements market over the next five<br />

years.<br />

Major products in the market include Lanthanum, Cerium, Neodymium, Yttrium, Gadolinium,<br />

Praseodymium and Dysprosium. Cerium followed by Lanthanum was the largest consumed product<br />

segment in 2013 accounting for over 40% of the total market. Cerium is broadly used in petroleum<br />

refining and metallurgy process. Increasing demand for fuel and metals is projected to boost the rare<br />

earth elements market over the forecast period. Neodymium is one of the most popular earth metals<br />

and has applications in permanent magnets. Increasing applications of permanent magnets in electronic<br />

and automotive industries is anticipated to fuel the market growth in the near future.<br />

<strong>Rare</strong> earth elements market is segmented on the basis of applications into catalysts, magnet,<br />

metallurgy, glass, and polishing. Permanent magnets were the dominant application market in 2013 on<br />

account of increasing applications in automotive and wind turbine. This segment is anticipated to be the<br />

fastest growing market in near future. Catalysts and metallurgy contributed for the second major<br />

market accounting for over 37% of the total market in 2013. Catalysts are used in several industries such<br />

as glass, ceramic, metallurgy, and polishing.<br />

Asia Pacific dominated the rare earth elements market in 2013 owing to economical utilization of<br />

reserves. The product demand is projected to grow at rapid pace due to increasing end-use industries in<br />

emerging economies such as China, India, South Korea and Malaysia. China was the dominant producer<br />

in the region owing to huge number of reserves in 2013. China was also the largest consumer due to<br />

increasing applications in end-use industries. RoW is expected to grow significantly on account of<br />

increasing automotive industries. Russia has reserves accounting for about 19%, the U.S. with 13%,<br />

Australia with 5.4% and India over 3%.<br />

The global rare earth elements market is highly concentrated as few participants contribute for most of<br />

the market. Molycorp and Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel <strong>Rare</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> Hi-Tech Co. were the largest players<br />

in the market together accounted for over 37.5% market share in 2013. Other market players include<br />

Indian <strong>Rare</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>s Ltd, China <strong>Rare</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> Holding, Lynas Corporation Limited and Great Western Mineral<br />

Group.
