REEvolution: Diversify for Balance
“In 2019, China accounted for a staggering 78% of the total volume of U.S. rare earth element (REE) imports. Despite a decline in China’s share of global REE mine production, it still maintained a significant 63% of worldwide production during the same year. Notably, Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr) are critical REEs used in magnets for wind turbines, electric vehicles, and green technologies. China’s dominance in their production is overwhelming, supplying over 90% of the world’s Nd and Pr. Fast-forward to 2023, and China’s production quota for rare earths remains substantial, constituting nearly 70% of global production. These figures underscore the urgent need to diversify REE sources and reduce reliance on China’s stranglehold in this vital sector,” emphasizes Dr. Lanz Chan, PhD., Research Scientist.
As part of an ongoing project, we will conduct a stakeholder survey to validate the most critical implications related to the Rare Earth Elements sector and update our findings here.

These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and researchers.
Balancing global development in the rare earth elements (REEs) industry involves fostering healthy competition while decreasing dependence on China’s dominance. By strategically forming alliances, acquiring mines, and diversifying supply chains, we can pave the way for a more resilient and equitable REE landscape.
In summary, this REEvolution represents a critical step toward breaking free from China’s dominance and ensuring a more resilient global REE supply chain.
