These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Rare earth element (REE) is a group of seventeen elements that are found in the earth's crust and exhibit similar chemical and physical properties. Cerium, neodymium, erbium, holmium, lanthanum, praseodymium, yttrium, and dysprosium are some of the widely used rare earth elements. These elements offer numerous benefits, such as high electrical conductivity, enhanced heat resistance, improved magnetism, weight reduction, etc. As a result, REEs find diverse applications across various end-use sectors, including automobile, transportation, power generation, construction, medical, defense, etc.
The expanding automobile industry is currently propelling the utilization of rare earth elements for manufacturing catalysts and magnets for motor vehicles. Furthermore, the rising environmental concerns towards the increasing CO2 emissions from fuel-driven automobiles are augmenting the demand for electric vehicles across the globe. These electric vehicles utilize numerous REE-based permanent magnets, such as neodymium and praseodymium magnets, in the production of high-efficiency batteries. Additionally, the implementation of stringent regulations pertaining to the mandatory installation of catalytic converters in automobiles to reduce emissions is also driving the market for rare earth elements. Apart from this, the increasing penetration of advanced energy generation facilities is further catalyzing the use of REEs in manufacturing turbines, reactors, generators, transformers, etc. Moreover, the growing popularity of smart electronic devices, including LED/LCD TVs, smartphones, laptops, smart wearables, etc., is also bolstering the demand for REE-based components. Additionally, the emergence of fiber optics is further propelling the utilization of various rare earth elements, such as neodymium, erbium, and holmium, for manufacturing high-efficiency fibers.
