Rare earth prices soared weaken competitors LED lamps opportunity resurgence. With energy-saving light-emitting, rare earth fluorescent and LED situation is rainbow night - the latter sales rose, the former sharp contraction. The industry believes that the rare earth luminescent materials market downturn provides an opportunity for the LED grow.

According to Shanghai Securities News reported, as a new generation of energy-saving light, LED light efficiency than the same price of rare earth fluorescent 6-10 times higher, but the LED energy-saving effect is better for large power consumption in public places, installing LED more cost-effective.

In addition, rare earth prices have rocketed and rapid decline after the maker of rare earth fluorescent lamps with up with an offer down, China Financial Network, however, frequently fast and magnitude of price increases as high, gradually shaken the confidence of customers, leading to sudden drop in orders .

Shanghai Lighting Society WU Hong introduction, rare earth fluorescent lamp industry is now operating at only four or five percent, businesses open to open the stop is the norm, very bad day too. "Now is the winter, when the industry hold together."

Rare CFL encounter crises but the rise of the LED nurturing a rare opportunity. Some manufacturers converting from rare earth fluorescent LED, such as LED's proportion rose to 10 percent from last year's 28%.

Optimistic about the second half of the season and drive long-term prospects for the industry. Three quarter to the end of the traditional peak season, from June to July Analyst judgment callback industry boom is normal seasonal phenomenon, in August after the peak season demand-driven industry information to continue upward as high probability event. More importantly, as the cost of LED lighting gradually to meet different application areas, and various segments of the market requirements, the penetration rate will gradually increase, expected to increase from 12 years to 15 years increased from 5% to 50%. LED lighting is ushering in the blowout phase lasted for several years, will drive the LED industry into the second wave of rapid development.

Guangdong Province RE integration work is in full swing. Recently, the city of Shaoguan in northern Guangdong region launched a rare characteristic industrial park planning. It is reported that the project seek to set two rare earth mining permit or exploration permit.

Earlier this year, Xinfeng, and the color of shares, Guangdong Rising Assets Management Co., two rare earth companies entered into a collaboration to jointly build rare earth characteristics industrial park, covers an area of ​​330 acres. The project to build a rare earth separation plant body, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan, annual processing 7,000 tons of rare earth concentrates. In May this year, the color of rare earth separation plant concentrates obtained NDRC approval. According to the color of shares that is completed, the color of Southern Rare Earth Company is expected to become the world's largest country and the South ionic rare earth separating enterprises.

It is understood that Guangdong Rising Assets Management Co., Ltd. is now in the park total investment 30 million yuan, covers an area of ​​5000 square meters to complete the main plant infrastructure work; June, the color of shares has also inspected the project land. The project responsible person, the next focus will be to strengthen communication with the Provincial Department strive to set two rare earth mining permit or exploration permit.

Shaoguan City Land Resources Bureau in accordance with the planning, land and resources in the city this year will seek to put a rare earth exploration. Meanwhile, the city Bureau of Land and Resources will be set up with the City Municipal SASAC mining investment and development company, and with the company's shares Shaoguan major rare earth and other mineral resources development projects.

However, since August 2011 under the Ministry of Land Management issued the relevant norms of rare earth mining, cleaning and re-audit has issued exploration licenses and mining licenses notice has been issued has not been a new rare earth prospecting permit or mining permit.

At present, Guangdong province's existing rare earth mining licenses for the four, the total mining area of ​​1.78 square kilometers, the resources, the reserves (ore) 15,645,800 tons, the annual production capacity planning mine (ore) 1.24 million tons, folding oxide matter (REO) 1550 tons / year. Guangdong Rising Assets Management Co., Ltd. in 2007 in Guangdong have been completed four acquisitions of rare earth mining licenses, while placing it backdoor listing Rising colored.

In addition, the color of shares not currently owned rare earth mining rights. Future, Shaoguan City win the hand gets rare earth mining rights market will cause concern.

Despite the recent sharp rise in rare earth prices, but it is only short-term performance, the downstream demand is what determines whether the price of rare earth showing steady growth of the main factors. When the manufacturing weak downstream demand short time is difficult rapid growth recovery in the case, national policy continuity is crucial. If the relevant policy or campaign continues, rare earth prices likely will continue to be steady for some time.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land and other eight departments jointly launched to combat rare earth mining, production, circulation of illegal special action officially started. So far, the industry has long been popular rare earth "hitting" action finally landed. Previously, rare earth prices have already heard this rise, rare earth industry seems to usher in a good, but industry insiders said rare earth industry, how the situation in the future, depends on whether there is strong support for the downstream market, the continuity of good policy and policy implementation efforts.

Heard good news rare earth prices rise

After a rapid decline after 2011, rare earth prices have been at low levels. However, the recent rare earth market has finally ushered in a fiery. Beginning from July 2013, rare earth prices generally rise, which praseodymium neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, europium and other basic products prices rose 30% -40%, dysprosium oxide and up to 75 percent of the increase.

The industry believes that the current round of price increases and the current national efforts to rectify the rare earth industry in combating private mine closely associated. It is reported that in mid-June this year, Ganzhou mine inspection bureau organizations, private local rare earth mine conducted a comprehensive blow. Subsequently, Ganzhou forestry sector also carried out actions against exploitation of rare earth occupation of forest land. Affected by the strong share price performance rare earth permanent magnet plate, which since July Minmetals Rare Earth stock has risen 50.27%, Sheng and resource shares are up 58.91%.

This year August 15 to November 15, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land and other eight departments join forces in the fight against rare earth mining, production, circulation of illegal special action. Focused on investigating illegal poaching, exploration and exploitation of undocumented illegal; ban illegal mining (recycling) mines, minerals and confiscate the illegal income, and will be punished; clean up illegal construction projects in the recovery of rare earth resources, conduct, did not seek recycling behavior of rare earth resources, and immediately ordered to stop production rectification.

The industry believes that these policies may continue to promote earth floor prices. Wikipedia information analyst Du Shuai soldiers said, after many parts of the domestic private mine has started action against rare, the recent focus of national policy is to combat illegal exploitation of rare earth, want to control the extraction from the source to enhance the rare earth industry's overall profit. "In recent years the phenomenon of repeated Luancai private dug earth, because no environmental costs of illegal miners, with ultra low sales a tremendous impact on the market, but also a serious squeeze the living space of informal enterprises, therefore, thorough investigation of the overall fight against private mining speaking will push up the overall price of rare earth industry. "

It is reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other eight departments in the fight against illegal acts of rare earth during the special action, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will most likely introduce relevant regulations, promote the formation of rare earth industry to further regulate long-term mechanism. Zhuo record information analyst Bei Zhang said that if this series of policies to effectively continue implementing it, will help stabilize the rare earth market, curb speculation behavior, the formation of a fair, open and equitable prices of rare earth products.

In addition to short-term speculation suspects prices is difficult not optimistic

Du Shuai Bing, currently rare earth industry is in the traditional sense of the off-season, and the NdFeB permanent magnet materials, luminescent materials, rare earth hydrogen storage materials and other major developments in the industry downstream applications poor, weak demand. The major listed companies in rare mid-year financial report also proved this point. Heng Industrial Co., Ltd. Jiangmen Bureau released 2013 half year results notice, the first half, net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies fell 85.54% over the previous year -95.18%. Xiamen Tungsten released semi-annual report, net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies to 71.1757 million yuan, down 77.69%, which continues to slump in the first half of rare earth products, sales prices and sales volume fell sharply, leading to affiliated companies in Fujian Province changting Jinlong Rare Earth Co., Ltd. due to operating losses and provision for inventory losses of 109 million yuan to prepare. In addition, Taiyuangangyu, Keheng shares JPMF number of listed companies have announced in the first half net profit fell.

Some experts said that despite the recent sharp rise in rare earth prices, but it is only short-term performance, the latter is not optimistic about rare earths market. Reason is that the recent rise in rare earth prices, mainly due to the state in addition to the illegal exploitation of rare earth smelting products to combat intensified, so that separation of the illegal exploitation of mineral and smelting companies have discontinued the illegal supply of a significant reduction of rare earth products, it also exists as speculation , took the opportunity to lift the price of rare earth products may not lower the real demand pull.

Du Shuai Bing said: "Rare earth is not a formal market-oriented industries, small plate, easy to hype it like metal, prices may rise and supply changes, the supply of rare earth industry, even if the product is large, as long as there trader speculation, the price can be fired up. "

In addition, Bei Zhang also said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to carry out remediation after news of rare earth, some sellers worry about the future of rare earth rare earth supply, stockpile appear reluctant to sell, resulting in a rapid rebound in the short term prices.

Rare earth prices go, first decide on the downstream demand. Du Shuaibing analysis, in the long run, enabling national policies to stimulate return to reasonable prices of rare earth products to enhance the industry profits. But in the short term, weak downstream demand of rare earth, rare earth prices rose too fast and if the downstream applications will play a certain rejection. Therefore, the market is not optimistic about the latter part of rare earths.

The healthy development of the industry need to look at policy enforcement

In addition to prices return to reasonable outside the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the fight against illegal rare earths will also conduct special operations to eliminate unhealthy competition in the entire industry, the formation of a large group of rare earth has played a certain role.

Turning to the current state of development of rare earth industry, Bei Zhang said: "The separation of rare earth smelting industry serious excess capacity." Du Shuai soldiers also believes that, in recent years, many rare earth smelting separation plant respond to national call, has been integrated into a large group, but Overall, the rare earth smelting separation plant products supply is still very large. According to him, the state gives the rare earth smelting and separation indexes and market demand considerable, but the separation of rare earth smelting plant capacity is very large, while the state allocated to the production of rare earth smelting separation plant with production capacity falls far short of targets, rare earth smelting separation plant poor survival situation. Therefore, to ensure the interests of rare earth smelting separation plant selection desperate, looking to make up their own private ore production capacity of waste. This will lead to private dug Luancai repeated, the supply of rare earth smelting and separation products increased.

Meanwhile, the rare earth industry concentration is low, many enterprises, but the lack of core competitiveness of large enterprises, industry self-regulation is poor, there is a certain degree of vicious competition. Xiamen University, China Energy Economic Research Center Lin Boqiang that the immediate importance of the prompt implementation of the rare earth industry consolidation. Through the integration of rare earth industry to inhibit disorderly exit, eliminating self vicious competition purposes to ensure efficient implementation of the rare earth resources strategy.

With the national anti-mine efforts to increase private and private dug Luancai and illegal conduct rare earth smelting separation phenomenon will be effective governance, and was recognized by the State of rare earth smelting separation plant to continue to develop, we must close the large group. This will further accelerate the industry consolidation, increased industrial concentration.

For the rare earth industry development of the next, Du Shuai Bing said, depends on the continuity of the relevant favorable policies and government enforcement. Because the downstream demand is to determine whether the price of rare earth showed steady growth of important factors, but the current domestic and international economic environment, manufacturing weak downstream demand in a short time is difficult to rapid growth recovery. In this case, the continuity of national policy is essential. If the relevant policy or campaign continues, avoid sports-style action, then there may be rare earth prices will continue to stabilize over time; if the enforcement of the national policy to relax, then do not rule out a new rare-earth prices will likely continue to decline in a market.

It is learned that in order to solve the problem of rare earth industry, weak downstream demand, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is preparing to promote downstream applications of rare earth market policies to reverse the current decline of rare earth industry. In mid-July of this year, China Rare Earth Industry Association in China Academy of Engineering organized the overall development and application of rare earth resources strategic planning seminars, China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng introduced the "rare earth resources and the application of the overall strategic development plan," the drafting of outline . The industry believes that, once the "overall development of rare earth resources and the application of strategic planning," released during the year, the whole environment for the survival of rare earth industry, or are expected to reverse.

"Rare park development disorder causes excess production capacity further." Rare Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang in an interview with reporters said. He said that since 2010, many areas of rare earth park planning and construction. The existing national park about 18 rare earth industry, similar to the planning of these parks, and many more resources at the core extends to midstream and downstream industry chain, involving separation of rare earth smelting, magnets, light function, hydrogen storage, polishing powder, rare earth catalysts and other major new materials, which will lead to the construction of the park of rare earth production capacity further overcapacity.

Rare industrial parks everywhere is the only rare earth industry overcapacity, a microcosm. In recent years, the rare earth industry capacity sprawl to the already fragile chain facing a new crisis.

From the authorities was informed that this year, rare earth Association conducted specialized research. Rare earth recycling business, for example, the survey showed that there were rare comprehensive waste recycling enterprises 55, of which 39 in Jiangxi, Jiangsu, 4, 3, Hunan, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, the two, Henan, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Yunnan each one. Since 2011, the approval of the corporate assault around 90%, waste treatment capacity of 190,600 tons. Among them, the waste treatment capacity of 142,000 tons NdFeB, waste fluorescent powder processing capacity 23,100 tons, waste polishing powder processing capacity 21,500 tons of rare earth waste processing capacity 04,000 tons. At present, annual production of 80,000 tons NdFeB about 30% of total waste by only 24,000 tons; fluorescent powder production 05,000 tons, 30% waste is counted as 01,500 tons; polishing powder yield 1.5 tons, this point of view, rare earth recycling enterprise production capacity has far exceeded demand.

"At present, China's rare earth industry showed overcapacity is becoming increasingly prominent, companies large losses, operating rate of less than 30%, especially in the illegal enterprise under the impact of the whole industry competition is fierce." One Baotou rare earth enterprises responsible person "Economic Information Daily "correspondent said. These people admitted that China's rare earth companies a total of about more than 120 rare earth oxide production capacity equivalent to up to 32 million tons, in addition to foreign enterprises device production, market supply far exceeds about 12 million tons per year of total world demand, capacity a significant increase in domestic demand coupled with rampant illegal enterprises weakened, multiple factors have contributed to the domestic rare earth product prices fall, production and operation of the deteriorating situation.

It is worth noting, by the rare-earth prices and strict control policies to stimulate domestic and foreign resources, but also to accelerate the exploitation of rare earth rare earth facing severe domestic competition. Zhang, chairman of Baotou Steel Rare Earth, including a number who have expressed worries about rare earths, when the domestic rare earth prices will be a great impact on overcapacity problem will worsen. According to statistics, at present there are nearly 40 foreign countries, more than 200 companies planning more than 500 rare earth projects, including the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Kyrgyzstan and other 15 countries, more than 40 rare earth project is progressing rapidly . U.S. molybdenum company's current production capacity has reached 5000 to 6000 tons, by the end of 2013 will reach 400 million tons production capacity; Australia Yalainasi factory in Malaysia last year, has successfully produced the first batch of rare earth products, its annual production capacity will reach a few years 22,000 tons, to meet about one-third of global demand. After 2015, only the United States and Australia that the two companies to meet global market demand outside China.

In this regard, Ma Rongzhang that, first we must resolutely combat black chain, as soon as possible metals regulations, a clear main responsibility to establish long-term mechanism to regulate rare earth production and management behavior. Secondly, as soon as possible on the rare earth waste recycling project for comprehensive rectification, combining guidance, regional planning, the establishment of regional recycling center, regulate rare earth waste production and business activities, incorporating industry regulatory category. In addition, you should strongly promote the use of rare earth balance. Especially lanthanum, cerium and other elements of an annual surplus surplus 30,000 to 50,000 tons, should be encouraged to lanthanum, cerium in the field of environmental protection, structural materials in applications such as water purification, denitration catalyst, UV protective glass, rare cast iron, steel, rare earth , rare earth magnesium, rare earth copper, rare earth and aluminum.

"Rare earth industry, the whole industry chain are decadent unbearable this year is to the freezing point, in June sales to its lowest in two years, the order is very small, with an estimated 7-8 months would be even worse." By the end of June, the domestic rare earth minerals agency Manufacturers Qiu Zhicheng, on the "new industries" Reporters large inverted grievances.

Qiu Zhicheng of our products manufacturers, rich in rare earth mineral resources Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Just before the June 18, Ganzhou Authority organized mine safety inspections, relevant departments are private mining of rare earth crackdown launched a full-scale, the majority of private mining stocks were seized.

Despite the positive impact against private mining, rare earth quotations began to rise, but the downstream market demand does not pick up, the oversupply of criticism still can not be effectively mitigated. Baotou Steel Rare Earth, represented by rare earth traders, had reluctantly chose discontinued insured. Qiu Zhicheng overseas customers or reject replenishment transactions scarce, investors can hardly optimistic.

Prices rebounded briefly

Recent Ganzhou action against illegal exploitation of rare earth bear fruit, rare earth prices began to rise.

Wikipedia information rare earth industry, senior analyst Du Shuai soldiers to reporters, for example, since June this year, the severity of the rare earth oxide prices have increased, including praseodymium oxide from 1.1 million yuan per ton rose to 1.6 million yuan per ton, terbium oxide from 2.2 million yuan per ton rose to 3.1 million yuan per ton. Within a month, the two products rose by as much as 40% -50%. But the prices are still lower than last year's lowest price.

"Our concern is that rare earth-related product prices, but because of Ganzhou combat exploitation of private mine this gimmick caused transient recovery." Du Shuai soldiers bluntly, the government's remediation efforts is still not big enough, the effectiveness is limited, all prices could No steady also only play a question mark. Downstream processors and traders are on the sidelines.

The downstream end of the current capacity utilization rate of NdFeB products into seven or eight, but not low-end products to three percent, in fact, the low-end products accounted for 80% of total NdFeB market.

Data shows that in 2011 foreign customs import statistics than the rare earth export statistics of China Customs number higher than 1.2 times the normal amount of smuggling that 120% of exports.

For the rare earth industry longstanding private mining excessive digging and smuggling in recent years, relevant departments of the action never stops in order to protect rare earth market order, especially in 2012.

April 2012, China Rare Earth Industry Association to set up; June, formally introduced Rare invoices; August, rare earth trading platform was set up; September, the state of rare earth resources in the implementation of strategic purchasing and storage. In addition, the government also increased the rare earth industry, environmental barriers to entry. October, the National Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information also carried out illegal acts on the verification of the consolidation of rare earth action.

Although the government campaign frequently, but still can not stop the private mining and smuggling, and these illegal acts have intensified the trend.

"Adequate supply of high profits and a lot of people take the risk. Rare earth materials manufacturers in order to make the difference and avoid state taxes, preferring to risk the purchase of raw ore from private mines, which has become the unspoken rules of the market." An unnamed country Rare earth traders told reporters, many local governments forced performance requirements, collusion with the private mining boss, or eye, close one eye.

As a result, they pulled down the prices of rare earth products, forming a vicious competition in the market environment.

For similar Ganzhou government seizure of private mining act, indeed, to some extent, ease the contradiction between supply and demand of rare earths, however, to really promote the earth tends to balance supply and demand, alone against private mining can not be done.

Severe overcapacity

Rare earth industry has been in oversupply, production than sales momentum, once the demand is slightly sluggish, industry-wide weakness quickly.

Of rare earth resources in the country, accounting for 23 percent of the world total, but it took more than 90% of the world market supply. The current global production capacity of rare earth minerals, including private, including about 20-30 million tons, while the global demand for rare earths is more than ten million tons, far higher than the supply demand.

Ministry of Commerce on July 1 announced 2013 second batch of rare earth export quotas show LREE, heavy rare earth quotas of 13,821 tons and 1,679 tons. Plus released the first batch of 15,501 吨 quota of rare earth export quotas for the year 31,001 tons, compared with last year's 30,996 ton for flat. However, according to Chinese customs statistics Information Center recently released data, in 2012 China's rare earth minerals, metals and rare earth mixture exports totaled 16,265 tons, down 3.5 percent, accounting for only 53% of annual export quotas.

Insiders predicted by the global economic slowdown and rare earth prices rise and other factors, this year's export quotas may still be used up, a state of excess.

Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Yuan Zhibin accept the "new industries" interview analysis, rare earth supply and demand imbalance for two main reasons: First, the lack of domestic rare earth applications, expressed in absolute amounts were smaller and the core technology behind, while the state has I hope to guide the rapid development of the field of application of rare earth; Second, increased supply of rare earth abroad, the domestic price of rare earth smuggling resulting in the low, thereby strengthening the company's sales of domestic rare earth export quotas led to the wishes of low usage.

"Foreign companies generally have a certain amount of rare earth reserves, they can first inventory, and then wait for the price changes, which is a strategy of foreign capital." China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng believe that some countries are trying to use inventory by temporarily reduce procurement strategy to drive down China rare earth prices.

Weak downstream demand

Nearly a year ago, due to the international economy has not yet out of the woods, the domestic slowdown in GDP growth and other factors, the rare earth industry has entered a period of weak demand in the doldrums. Smelting enterprises have ceased or reduced separation of rare earth materials production plant underemployment, rare earth minerals and rare earth raw material prices remained low and factories operating difficulties, have already become the norm.

July 2, performance and stock price decline of Baotou Steel Rare Earth Sarkozy announced that the company's processing plant will be discontinued dilute half. In dilute dressing plant was halted, the company smelting separation and downstream industries such as functional materials in recent years, the company can use the reserves of rare earth concentrates normal production.

This is a dilute Baotou Steel Rare Earth processing plant shut down for the first time this year, but in the situation from last year, as the industry downturn, Baotou Steel Rare Earth released on three occasions discontinued insured announcement.
