COVID-19 impact on Global Rare-Earth Metals Market
The rare-earth metals industry was majorly impacted by COVID-19. In the initial stages of the pandemic, factories in several countries were forced to shut down as the governments implemented strict lockdowns to stop the spread of the virus. After the lockdown was lifted and restrictions were eased, rare-earth metals manufacturers were allowed to resume factory operations but at a limited capacity and under several rules and regulations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already by now caused profound effects at the global macroeconomic scale. In the automotive industry, for example, car manufacturers had announced a halt in production , which is now gradually resuming again. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers and other market actors further upstream are similarly affected by this demand-side shock and have consequently ramped down their production as well. In addition to such demand-side shocks, supply chain steps located in countries strongly affected by the virus are hampered, too, leading to the breaking of entire international supply chains. This makes it clearer than ever before that the security of the supply of strategic raw materials needed for the long-term competitiveness and job security in key industries is of prime importance for the European Union. The European Green Deal targets 2050 climate neutrality and recognizes access to resources as a strategic security question to fulfil its ambition. The new Industrial Strategy for Europe sees raw materials as key enablers for a globally competitive, green and digital Europe. It envisions European competitiveness based on a new Alliance on Raw Materials and highlights the importance of industrial ecosystems for accelerating innovation and growth in Europe. A more resilient, more protective, more sovereign and more inclusive economic model that aligns with the Green Deal has also been prioritized by the recently launched Green Recovery Alliance. EIT RawMaterials, funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), has the vision to develop raw materials into a major strength for Europe. It is the world’s largest network in the raw materials sector connecting industry, research, and education. This makes EIT RawMaterials a key contributor to secure sustainable access and supply of raw materials – for a green, digital, and competitive Europe.
The coronavirus outbreak in China has had a foreseeable but unintended consequence. Truck drivers have refused to make deliveries into areas either identified as or suspected of harboring the disease. This has interrupted not only the flow of minerals out of the affected areas but also the refining and manufacturing of metals, food, and fuel. Among the under-reported deficiencies, thereby caused the most important ones for the global rare-earth metals production and utilization industries is the interruption in the flow of chemical reagents necessary for refining rare-earth metals and for producing metals, alloys, and magnets.
Rare-earth-enabled components for moving machinery, such as automobiles, trucks, trains, aircraft, industrial motors and generators, home appliances, and consumer goods, almost all of these are procured from China or Japan (which of course gets its rare-earth magnets, alloys, phosphors, and catalysts from China). That flow is now slowing. This will have a domino effect on American and European industries. These items cannot be re-sourced due to China’s monopoly of rare-earth metals production and its monopsony of rare-earth-enabled component manufacturing.
Rare-Earth Metals Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand from end-use industries
Rare-earth metals, owing to their various properties, find applications in a wide range of industries. These applications include permanent magnets, metal alloys, phosphors, catalysts, polishing, and glass additives.
Rare-earth permanent magnets are expected to be the prime growth market over the next five to ten years. The major rare-earth elements that are used in the permanent magnet application are neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium. These metals possess special properties, such as remanence, high coercivity, which keeps the permanent magnets from losing their magnetivity even after long periods. These magnets find major applications in the automotive market, and their demand is dependent on this market. The rare-earth permanent magnets find use in both conventional automotive as well as hybrid vehicles. In fact, the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) market is expected to drive a stronger growth for rare-earth magnets in the near future as they use more rare-earth magnets per vehicle when compared to conventional automotive. Generally, a hybrid car contains 650 grams or 1,000 grams of neodymium.
The application of rare-earth magnets in wind turbines is expected to be another major growth market over the long term. The latest offering of direct drive wind turbines, where the use of rare-earth magnets allows the gearbox to be removed from the turbine, has greatly decreased weight and maintenance issues.
Along with the above applications, rare-earth magnets are widely used in major consumer and industrial electronic applications, such as smartphones, acoustic speakers, hard disk drives, due to their high performance to size ratio and high magnetic strength. The usage of rare-earth metals in permanent magnets is expected to grow by 12% to 14% in the next five to ten years.
Rare-earth metals are also widely used in catalyst systems. Their main contribution in a catalyst system is to absorb, store, and release oxygen and stabilize the environments in which they operate. The rare-earth metals, which are widely used in catalyst systems are lanthanum and cerium. They are mainly applied as catalysts in automotive catalytic converters for cars and other vehicles and fluid cracking catalysts (FCC’s) used in oil refineries. Apart from growth in worldwide unit sales, demand for auto-catalysts is further complemented by increasingly demanding legislation around the world governing vehicle emissions. It is expected that the demand for rare-earth metals in auto-catalysts has the potential to continue to grow by about 6% per annum.
Restraint: Fluctuating costs of rare-earth metals
The global recession of 2008-09 had several negative implications on a number of markets, and the rare-earth metals market was not an exception. The rare-earth metal prices increased suddenly in 2011 after China introduced a 40% cut on its export quotas, citing environmental reasons. The cost of dysprosium oxide, used in magnets, lasers, and nuclear reactors, rose to about USD 1,470 a kilogram from USD 700 to USD 740, buoyed by demand and concerns over future availability.
These fluctuations in prices coupled with rising energy costs are destabilizing the supply chains of rare-earth elements. This factor makes it difficult for manufacturers to deliver quality products at a profit
As the prices of raw materials fluctuate, it depends on the manufacturers to either absorb additional costs or increase the prices of the products. The demand for rare-earth metals is dependent on the demand for its applications. Furthermore, the demand for the applications is dependent on the end-user industries. Hence, the rare-earth metal has a double supply chain, which further increases the final price demanded by manufacturers. Thus, price fluctuations leave no room for error when planning a project’s budget and have quite a few manufacturers walking a thin line between success and operating at a loss.
When the price of raw materials increases suddenly, a few manufacturers search for new suppliers that allow them to maintain revenue targets. This often means sourcing materials from the lower-cost economies. Switching to a different source of raw materials carries a high risk of disrupting the supply chain.
Rare-earth elements are not traded in any exchange in the way other precious or nonferrous metals are. They are rather sold in the private market, which makes their prices tricky to track and monitor. The elements are not usually sold in their pure form, but distributed in mixtures of varying purity, for example, 99% neodymium metal. In any case, pricing can vary based on the quantity and quality required by the end- use applications.
Opportunity: New Recycling and reuse of rare-earth metals
Rare-earth metals were comparatively cheaper before new applications were discovered for their use. This created a discrepancy in the supply and demand chain of the rare-earth metals, which was due to an enormous increase in the prices of the metals. Earlier, the metals were not as critical as they have become over the past five years. Hence, a lot of them were wasted due to inconsistent demand and supply. Currently, the situation is different for the rare-earth metals. Many critical industries, including the green technology and defense use a lot of rare-earth metals. The substantial price increase of the metals in 2011 made these metals even more critical and valuable for other countries, including the US, which has led to a global drive for recycling.
Recycling is a method to decrease the criticality of the metals and provide a secondary source of supply for the key metals. The existing recycling rate for the rare-earth metals is less than 5% which presents a significant opportunity for important recycling efforts. Recycling will not only provide a secondary source of supply, but will also have a positive impact on the environment with decreased mining. It will also minimize the impact of waste and toxins entering water sources.
The US Department of Energy, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) developed a recycling technology that uses a combination of hollow fiber membranes, organic solvents, and neutral extractants to recover rare-earth elements, such as neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium from magnets.
In laboratory testing, the membrane extraction system demonstrated the potential to recover more than 90 percent of these three elements in a highly pure form from scrap neodymium-based magnets. ORNL expects the figure to be closer to 97 percent. The resulting product is a 99.6 percent pure combination of rare-earth materials.
The Neodymium Oxide segment is projected to lead the global rare-earth metals market through 2026
Neodymium oxide is used to produce magnets which are found in most modern vehicles and aircraft as well as popular consumer electronics, such as headphones, microphones, and computer discs . It is used in high-strength permanent magnets that are also known as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets and are one of the strongest magnets in the world. Incresing use of Clean energy application has driven the market.
The Phosphors segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The Phosphors segment, by application, is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Phosphors used in many applications that require color in the light exhibited, namely, cathode ray tube displays, fluorescent lamps, and other applications. The important elements in this sector are europium, terbium, and yttrium. Phosphors are used to convert the incident radiation into the light of designed colors. This is based on the properties of the elements that are included in the phosphors. The demand for rare-earth oxide phosphor products is expected to increase, due to the government policies in US, Canada, China, among other countries, and the European Union, where the incandescent lamps are being replaced with fluorescent and LED lamps.
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share in the rare-earth metals market during the forecast period
APAC is the top region in terms of total rare-earth material consumption due to rapidly increasing demand in China, which accounts for maximum global rare-earth consumption. It was the largest consumer of rare-earth elements in 2019, with an estimated market revenue of over USD 5.2 billion. The region is also expected to witness the fastest-growth in terms of consumption due to growing industrialization and extraction activities in China.
