Visualizing Global Rare Earth Metals Production Over The Past 30 Years
Rare earth metals are a set of 17 chemically similar elements which are integral for modern technologies.
From neodymium, used in powerful magnets that can withstand extreme temperatures, to beryllium, which is used to manufacture lightweight materials for fighter jets, these elements have a variety of crucial technological uses.
While rare earth metals are not particularly rare, they are seldom found in pure form and are often mixed with other minerals, making them costly to mine.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Kayla Zhu, visualizes rare earth metals production (in kilotonnes) of the eight leading countries from 1995 to 2023, using figures from the Energy Institute's Statistical Review of World Energy 2024 report.
China Is Dominating Rare Earth Metals Production
Global rare earth metals production has surged the past three decades, increasing from 75.7 kilotonnes in 1995 to over 350 kilotonnes in 2023, reflectin...

Central Asia Emerges As Epicenter Of Rare Earth Mineral Rush
Authored by Haley Zaremba via OilPrice.com,
Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan are emerging as key players in the rare earth mineral market.
These countries offer vast reserves, political stability, and a willingness to develop their resources, attracting interest from Western powers, China, and Russia.
Securing access to rare earth minerals is crucial for countries to achieve their clean energy goals and reduce dependence on China, which currently dominates the market.
Securing reliable and strategic supply chains for rare earth minerals has become a geopolitical battleground for world superpowers in the intensifying context of the global clean energy transition. Decarbonizing the global economy will require unfathomable amounts of clean energy infrastructure from solar panels and wind turbines to lithium-ion batteries for energy storage and to power electric vehicles. All of these are g...
