A new study on Rare Earth Elements: Market Shares and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2011-2017. The study has
246 pages and 66 tables and figures.
The rest of the world was asleep as China grew to become a goliath in the rare earth industry. It took the
rest of the world 20 years to wake up to the realization that the future of high technology could be in the
hands of this one supplier. While there may be ample rare earth elements in the earths crust, the challenge
is in locating reserves worth mining and putting into place the infrastructure and processes necessary to mine
and process them.
China produces 96 percent of the worlds rare earth metals. Industrialized countries have realized that with a
monopoly position, comes responsibility. China reduced its second-half rare earth metal export quota for the
minerals by 72 percent in July 2010. It is now further restricting exports Repercussions and strategic
implications are likely if rare earth elements supply were to be disrupted. .Actions by China have drawn
criticism from U.S. lawmakers and officials in Japan and Germany.

After discovering a potential site and conducting a feasibility study, this type of mining operation requires
permits, financing, building of infrastructure. Infrastructure includes roads, railways. The acquisition of mining
technology, transportation for the materials, making mining machinery available, and processing of the raw
materials is difficult.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, All of these steps to rebuild the industry outside China
could take up to ten years. In the meantime, China has a huge lead in educating engineers and scientists and
in all aspects of the rare earth metal industry. This is a topic that has been neglected in the US and the
western world until now. It has not been glamorous or interesting to professors, universities, and most of
all students. It is set to become more significant in many countries.
One potential threat is that, while Chinas reduction in export quotas is currently causing prices to go up, if
China were to turn that around and bring prices back down, this could potentially put these and other
companies out of business even before they become fully operational.
Hybrid vehicles are one of many technologies that use rare earth elements . Global demand for hybrid
vehicles is projected to be 14 to 16 million vehicles per year by 2017 so the impact to the rare earth market
could be staggering. Additional Rare Earth supply sources must come on line to support this growing
industry.
