  • (1888PressRelease) July 05, 2011 - IMARC Group, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms, finds that more than 97% of the total global rare earth element production is currently taking place in China. The country's continuous export restrictions and price hikes, however, are driving both governments and end users to diversify their sources of rare earth imports.

    The reports find that other than China, the production of rare earth elements is currently taking place only in India, Brazil and Malaysia. By 2015, however, it expects another eight non-Chinese rare earth mines to start commercial production. As a result, the total production of rare earth elements from non-Chinese mines is expected to increase from 3600 metric tons in 2010 to more than 85,000 metric tons by 2015.

    IMARC's new report entitled "The Global Rare Earth Elements Market 2011-2015: Is the Hype Justified?" provides an analytical and statistical insight into the global rare earth elements market.
