Follow on Google News | China’s Rare Earth Dominance: “The Middle East Has its Oil, and China Has Rare Earth."With 97% of the global production and 50% of the global reserves, China currently dominates the global rare earth elements market.
By: IMARC Group IMARC Group, one of the worlds’s leading research and advisory firms in its new report entitled “The Global Rare Earth Elements Market 2011-2015: Is the Hype Justified?” finds that China’s awareness on its rare earth monopoly has driven it to exploit political mileage from the situation on various instances. According to the report, in September 2010, China halted its entire rare earth exports to Japan when they arrested the captain of a Chinese fishing boat which had collided with two Japanese patrol vessels in disputed territorial waters. Similarly, In October 2010, Chinese authorities stopped all rare earth shipments for ten days, effectively rupturing trade to the US and Europe. The report cited China’s low production and processing costs as one of the main factors driving the country’s dominance in this market. The reports found numerous factors behind china’s low production and processing costs. These included cheap labor, lack of proper regulations related to working conditions/environment and a strong government support. China’s strong in-house expertise was also regarded as a major reason behind its rare earth monopoly. Findings suggested that current capabilities to process rare earth elements into finished products are currently limited mainly to Chinese sources. China currently had a significant advantage over other rare earth producing countries in terms of mining, separation, refining, alloying, and purification of rare earths Key Aspects Analyzed in this Report: Understanding the Mining Economics of Rare Earth Elements: Focus of the Analysis: • Rare earth mine valuation • Stages and time taken to develop and start production at a rare earth mine • The total costs involved in rare earth mining • Mining and downstream processing of rare earth elements • Rare earth element pricing Understanding China’s Role in the Global Rare Earth Elements Market: Focus of the Analysis: • China’ • Reasons for China’s dominance • China’ Comprehensive Situation Analysis of the Global Rare Earth Elements Market: Focus of the analysis: • Quantifying the historical sales and production of rare earth elements • Identification and evaluation of current global rare earth mines • Identification and evaluation of mines expected to begin production in the next five years • Current and future consumption of rare earth elements Evaluating the Supply and Demand of Various Rare Earth Elements: Focus of the analysis: • Quantifying the production of each element from current and future mines • Quantifying the current and future demand of each element • Historical, current and future prices of each element • Evaluating the supply risks of each element and its importance for clean technology • Identification of critically undersupplied and oversupplied rare earth elements Evaluating the Demand of Rare Earth Elements in Various Industries Focus of the analysis: • Quantifying the current and future size of each Industry • Quantifying the current and future demands of rare earth elements in each industry • Identification of industries having the highest demand of rare earth elements.
