Rare earth market update on March 18, 2025

The domestic rare earth market has maintained an overall stable operating trend. The interplay of bullish and bearish factors has made it difficult for buyers and sellers to reach a high degree of consensus during negotiations, resulting in product prices lacking momentum for significant increases while also being resistant to substantial declines. At the same time, order growth has been relatively slow.

Recently, according to a report from the Baotou City Industry and Information Technology Bureau, in February 2025, among the 36 key industrial products monitored in Baotou City, 19 products, including aluminum, copper, and neodymium metal, saw price increases month-on-month, while 2 products, such as monocrystalline silicon and photovoltaic modules, maintained stable prices, and 15 products, including pig iron, polypropylene, and magnesium, experienced price declines. Year-on-year, 11 products, such as aluminum, hydrogen fluoride, and praseodymium-neodymium metal, recorded price increases, while 25 products, including rebar, polypropylene, and magnesium, saw price decreases.
