LONDON, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan's latest analysis, Global Rare Earth Materials Market, Forecast to 2025, reveals that a global uptick in infrastructure development and electronic vehicle demand are key factors driving the $5.40 billion global rare earth materials market growth. Growth is augmented by the rise in neodymium magnet, lanthanum, and cerium-based application requirements in countries such as China, Japan, Korea, the US, Brazil, and Western Europe and a necessity for rare earth materials in metallurgy and battery applications. Frost & Sullivan expects the market to grow at a robust CAGR of 7.0% from 2018 to 2025.
"There has been significant demand for rare earth materials, especially for use in the production of high-end permanent magnets. Demand is strongly characterised by niche requirements -- high-purity, specialised rare earth material products with extremely customised application characteristics. End-user electronics, technology and automotive industries prefer such products even though procurement is pricey," said Ganesh Dabholkar, Senior Analyst, Chemicals & Materials in Infrastructure & Mobility.
