Rare Earth Market - September 26, 2025

Rare earth market update on September 26, 2025

This week, the domestic rare earth market overall exhibited a weak performance trend, with mainstream light and heavy rare earth product prices declining to varying degrees amid low enthusiasm for inquiries and purchases from downstream users and slightly insufficient confidence in price stability among suppliers.

It is understood that tight liquidity among downstream production enterprises and high raw material inventories are the main reasons for the difficulty in releasing recent market demand. However, influenced by strong production cost support, limited increases in spot supply, and expectations among some merchants for a market rebound, holders are generally unwilling to offer significant discounts, constraining the downside space for prices.

According to CTIA GROUP LTD Online, this week, the price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide decreased by approximately 7,000 yuan per ton, a decrease of 1.22%; the price of praseodymium-neodymium metal decreased by approximately 10,000 yuan per ton, a decrease of 1.42%; the price of terbium oxide decreased by approximately 100,000 yuan per ton, a decrease of 1.39%; the price of dysprosium oxide decreased by approximately 10,000 yuan per ton, a decrease of 0.61%; the price of 55N neodymium-iron-boron blanks remained stable compared to last week; and the price of neodymium-iron-boron scrap (praseodymium-neodymium) decreased by approximately 15 yuan per kilogram, a decrease of 2.52%.

According to the official website of the Baotou Industry and Information Technology Bureau, from January to August 2025, the added value of industries above the designated size in Baotou increased by 10.4% year-on-year, surpassing the national average (6.2%) and the regional average (5.9%) by 4.2 and 4.5 percentage points, respectively, and achieving double-digit growth for 60 consecutive months. By the three major sectors, the added value of mining increased by 18.2% year-on-year, manufacturing increased by 9.1%, and the production and supply of electricity, heat, gas, and water increased by 8.6%. By key industries, the added value of the three flagship industries—rare earth, crystalline silicon photovoltaic, and onshore wind power equipment—increased by 18.8%, 8.4%, and 25.3% year-on-year, respectively, collectively contributing 5.2 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industries above the designated size.
