The rare earth metals market, valued at USD 5.6 billion in 2023, is poised for substantial growth, projected to expand at a robust CAGR of 10.1% over the forecast period. This growth trajectory is anticipated to propel the market to a significant valuation of USD 14.6 billion by 2033. The increasing demand for rare earth metals across various high-tech industries, including electronics, renewable energy, and electric vehicles, is a key driver of this expansion. Their essential role in the manufacturing of advanced technological devices and sustainable energy solutions underscores their critical importance in the global market, positioning the sector for remarkable development in the coming decade.
The surging demand for rare earth metals can be ascribed to the increase in the sales of consumer electronics. Be it smartphones or laptops. These metals are used in the speakers of these devices. Apart from that, the key players in the electronics sector are betting on the high-temperature resistance offered by these metals, which allows them to function with higher efficiency.
Furthermore, growth in the sales of electric vehicles is also expected to surge the demand for rare earth metals during the forecast period. This is owing to the fact that rare earth metals assist in miniaturizing the size of the circuit, which makes electric vehicles work using lesser components.

Moreover, rapid urbanization worldwide is also expected to surge the market growth of rare earth metals. This is owing to the fact that rare earth metals are used in the construction industry as well. Apart from this, rare earth metals are also used in the process of digitization, which is happening at a rapid rate in developing countries.
Even the healthcare sector has seen a surge in the application of rare earth metals. These are specifically used for manufacturing MRI machines, insulin pumps, pacemakers, etc. Apart from that, these are also used as high-strength aluminum alloys, metal halide lamps, etc.
Additionally, the majority of the companies are looking to work on the idea of sustainability, as a result of which they are developing plans to cut down emissions. Thus, these firms have started adopting renewable sources of energy. The implementation of rare earth metals supports the functioning of renewable energy systems, which is expected to further surge their market growth.
Thus, from the insights delivered by FMI researchers, it can be inferred that “an increase in the adoption of electric vehicles, coupled with the increased application across sectors and a number of other factors are expected to surge the rare earth metals market share during the forecast period.”
