Strategies And Forecasts, 2012 To 2020

Increasing permanent magnets demand is anticipated to augment global rare earth elements market

growth over the next five years. Rare earth elements are also known as rare earth metals and belongs to

a group of seventeen elements which comprise similar properties. The group consists of fifteen

lanthanide series elements and yttrium and scandium. Major elements include lanthanum,

praseodymium, cerium and Neodymium. These elements together constituted total rare earth elements

market accounting for over 74% in 2013.

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

batteries, super conductors, miniature, laser repeaters, military technology, various medical devices,

permanent magnets and rechargeable batteries. These are also applied as catalysts in petroleum

refining and automotive industries and as pigments in ceramic and glass. Mostly Neodymium is used in

permanent magnet manufacturing process. Growing applications of permanent magnets in automotive

industries are expected to bolster the rare earth elements market growth.

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

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

metallurgical process. Increasing petroleum and metals demand is anticipated to surge the market

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

to hamper the global rare earth metals market growth. The expected depletion of the metals includes

dysprosium and...
