Rare Earth Metals Market Insights

Global Rare Earth Metals Market size was valued at USD 6.9 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 7.78 billion in 2024 to USD 20.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period (2025-2032). 

Because they can produce varied colours, they are frequently used in displays and screens. The strong electrical conductivity of rare earth elements is well known, and they coexist in minerals. These metals are thought to be the strongest magnets currently accessible. Permanent magnet motors containing neodymium were used by almost 85% of automakers, and estimates indicate that by 2022, demand for rare earth materials in automobiles will increase by 25%. One of the key reasons propelling the expansion of the Rare Earth Metals Market is the rising need for renewable energy across the globe.

Due to the growing need to reduce CO2 emissions, there is an increase in the demand for these products in the manufacturing of magnets and catalysts for the automotive industry and high usage in the production of batteries for electric vehicles, which accelerates Rare Earth Metals Market growth. OICA estimates that a total of 26.08 million and 4.39 million motor vehicles, respectively, were produced in China and India. As a result, output of motor vehicles increased by 30% in India and by 3% in China respectively. Research and development activities, expansion of end use industries, urbanisation and industrialization, as well as the focus of various organisations and companies on enhancing the technology, also have a positive impact on the Rare Earth Metals Market. The market players have lucrative prospects during the projection period of 2021 to 2028 due to the recycling and reuse of rare-earth metals.

Rare earth metals are essential in various industries, including permanent magnets, catalysts, glass polishing powders, additives, batteries, metallurgy, ceramics, phosphors, and pigments. The Rare Earth Metals Market permanent magnets, particularly neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium, is expected to grow significantly over the next decade, driven by their high remanence and coercivity. This growth is closely tied to the automotive sector, especially with the increasing production of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) that use more rare earth materials compared to conventional vehicles. According to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the usage of rare earth permanent magnets in electric vehicles (EVs) could rise from 5,000 tons in 2019 to between 40,000 and 70,000 tons by 2030. Additionally, rare earth magnets are projected to see significant growth in wind turbines, reducing maintenance and weight by eliminating gearboxes, and are widely used in consumer electronics for their performance-to-size ratio. Rare earth metals like lanthanum and cerium are also crucial in catalytic systems for automotive catalytic converters and oil refinery catalysts, with demand bolstered by stricter emission regulations and rising global vehicle sales. 

The vehicle telematics industry is currently undergoing changes, influenced by notable trends that are shaping its future. One key trend is the increasing integration of driver assistance systems (ADAS), with telematics technologies. This integration allows vehicles not to collect data about their surroundings but to actively respond to it thereby improving safety and driving experiences. Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with features such as lane keeping assistance, cruise control and collision avoidance systems.

By 2022, sales growth in North America is projected to register a CAGR of 8.2%. The region's developing automobile industry is to blame for the rising demand for rare earths. Neodymium, for instance, is used in Tesla's Model 3 Long Range vehicles, a major American maker of electric vehicles. Over the projected period, it is expected that this action will increase demand for neodymium. Over the projected period, it is also anticipated that expanding nuclear and consumer electronics industries will fuel demand for rare earths. With more than 30% of the world's electricity generated by nuclear energy, the United States is the largest producer in the world. According to the World Nuclear Association, there are now two nuclear reactors being built in the nation. The region's market is anticipated to grow faster than average due to the increasing need for nuclear reactors.
