Commodity Market Report
Global rare earths short-term outlook January 2022
Report summary
The start of 2022 has seen continued increases in prices for key rare earths used in magnet applications, led by restocking and expectation of a continued tight feed stock market. The closure of the Myanmar-China border in December has further exacerbated feed stock concerns for heavy rare earths with limited alternatives available and inventories already at low levels. Continued strong growth in magnet demand has been supported by further growth in EV vehicle sales though wind turbine technologies have increase above expectations. Overall rare earth demand growth is expect to exceed 5% in 2022, though demand from magnet applications is forecast to increase at a significantly higher rate. Conversely, non-magnet applications will display subdued or negative growth in the short term outlook.
