Rare Earth Market - September 19, 2025

Rare earth market update on September 19, 2025

This week, the price trends of mainstream light and heavy rare earth products in China showed slight differences. 

In the light rare earth market, at the beginning of the week, influenced by strong production cost support and high willingness among downstream users to restock at lower prices, praseodymium-neodymium suppliers generally raised their quotes. However, toward the end of the week, due to slow demand follow-through from downstream users, praseodymium-neodymium prices experienced a certain degree of decline. In the medium-heavy rare earth market, the overall trend remained stable. With buyers maintaining mostly rigid demand and holders showing strong reluctance to sell while upholding prices, dysprosium-terbium prices showed no significant changes, and order growth remained slow.

In terms of news, recently, the National Natural Science Foundation of China officially announced the 2025 project review results. The Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute submitted 15 project applications during the centralized acceptance period and successfully secured funding for 3 projects, achieving a project approval rate of 20% and direct funding of 960,000 yuan. This result is highly significant: both the number of approved projects and the funding amount have reached historical highs. This not only marks a historic breakthrough in the number of National Natural Science Foundation projects approved by the rare earth research institute but also fully demonstrates a substantial improvement in its scientific innovation capacity and project application quality.
