Market Scope:

China Rare Earth Recycling Market, like scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanide series, are essential components used in permanent magnets, smartphones, wind turbines, and electric vehicles, among others. The elements that are found naturally as ore mixtures are required to be purified before being used. But the mining, as well as separation of mineral ores, can be a daunting task, other than being energy- and waste-intensive. These elements leave a considerable environmental burden. Despite their reusability, a huge portion is discarded into trash after just one use.

Recycling rare-earth-containing items provide a steady source of rare earth materials to developers while bringing down waste content. Addition of recycled materials helps bring down environmental contamination as well as energy costs related to primary mining as well as separations.

Market USP Covered

Market Drivers

The green energy market has been experiencing substantial growth with the passing of the new legislation by various regulatory bodies worldwide. These legislations ban the usage of traditional mediums in sectors, requiring the use of green technologies, like hybrid electric vehicles, compact fluorescent lighting, and wind turbines. Wind turbines now use direct-drive permanent magnets, with extensive use of rare-earth metals, like praseodymium, neodymium, europium, terbium, and dysprosium. The heightened focus on environmental protections is resulting in the development of clean energy sources, such as wind energy.

The wind turbine market offer provides business opportunities to the permanent magnet industry. Direct-drive generators used in wind turbines make use of around 650 kg of permanent magnets per megawatt of power output. This makes use of permanent magnets comparatively more economical while enabling market contenders to be more environmentally responsible, thereby rendering the technology sustainable. All these expanding industries with extensive use of permanent magnets offer a massive impetus for the market growth.

Production of numerous minerals that are essential for energy transitions is largely concentrated in certain geographical areas. For example, China is the leader in the rare earth value chain, responsible for over 70% of processing operations with respect to rare earth metal mining. This has raised concerns among companies that develop batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels, amongst others, as this can leave an impact on their supply chains owing to regulatory changes, political instability and trade barriers.

Market Restraints

Surge in pollution, inefficiency of recycling and high costs can be major challenges faced by the top players in the years to come.
