RE prices since December 2014 has bottomed out rebounded slightly, China Rare Earth Industry Association price index, the price index of rare earth lowest since December last year rose to 133.5 points on March 23 high of 151.4, also recently pulled back slightly to 140 around point, Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng China Rare Earth Industry Association, said 2015 will be the beginning of the return of the rare earth market value.

陈占恒 made the remarks at the 2015 International Rare Earth Industry Symposium held on the 9th, he believes that the macro level, as the economy recovers growth is expected in end-market demand for rare earths will correspondingly increase. Praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, etc. associated with the rare earth permanent magnet products prices will keep rising and the supply and demand trends and adapt. However, lanthanum, cerium, yttrium due to large production, lack of upward momentum, yet continue to develop applications.

Many business people are meeting for rare great wisdom (29.70, 0.00, 0.00%) news agency said that since the second half of 2014 rare earth market decline significantly, the current spot transaction, although still rare deserted, but praseodymium, neodymium, and other products are still in short supply, market supply scarce, businesses reluctant to sell.

At the policy level, the rare earth resources tax levied by the amount of change from the current ad valorem, after the implementation of new environmental law, corporate environmental investment increase will raise the price of rare earth products at the bottom. Export quotas and export duties cancellation will facilitate the growth of rare earth exports, the export structure may be some changes, especially the export of europium, terbium, dysprosium, neodymium, praseodymium likely significant growth.

In addition, the integration of large groups gradually put in place, on the rare earth recycling business rectification to crack down on the illegal exploitation of rare earth, rare earth industry development environment will allow effective purification.

In addition to lanthanum, cerium, erbium oxide is relatively stable, the praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium, europium, terbium oxide prices are still different rate fell this week. Which praseodymium, neodymium oxide decreases at around $ 5,000 / ton, although businesses that people want the goods, but the price is low, profits further compressed. Dysprosium, europium, terbium market in general there is no market price, businesses hold stocks to watch, currently europium oxide, terbium have price slightly lower than last week 50-100 yuan / kg. Dysprosium have downward, in the range of 1-2 million / ton, individual businesses reflect the actual transaction price in 165-168 yuan / ton.

Currently praseodymium neodymium products prices low steady, high partial drop, slightly lower offer individual businesses, such as last week's offer of 30 yuan / ton at current prices 29.5 yuan / ton. According to the supplier of Ganzhou neodymium oxide, praseodymium prices now are basically concentrated in about 295,000 yuan / ton, last week, there are businesses cut their prices to this level. There are traders purchase 290,000 praseodymium, neodymium, but suppliers are willing to such a low price of shipping is still less than normal, the current low price of neodymium oxide, praseodymium at 292,000 yuan / ton. Praseodymium, neodymium metal price volatility this week is not, vendors offer basic at 38.3-38.5 yuan / ton.

RE market today disadvantaged steady, suppliers offer more was virtually unchanged, the decline is reduced, but the low prices and the absence of significant improvement in light trading, individual products difficult high turnover, businesses continue to offer slightly lower. Part of the business of purchasing and storage or other market outlook remains favorable policy have expectations, hoping rare earth prices could rebound.

Recent dilute the package price of each oxide low volatility, such as cerium oxide in recent days is always 11 yuan / kg shock, europium oxide and more in between 1600-1800 yuan / kg fluctuations, the previous day's closing volume of europium oxide is shown as 12,172 kg, although the history of the highest single-day trading volume, but lower than in the past few months of each single-day turnover increased significantly. But in recent weeks, europium oxide low prices decline, there are many businesses reflect a lack of demand, turnover is far from ideal.

Currently gadolinium products market, gadolinium oxide and gadolinium iron low prices steady, high little decrease, as Ganzhou providers will always offer before gadolinium oxide steady at 86,000 yuan / ton, down to 85,000 yuan / ton, gadolinium iron have dropped slightly, currently with votes from 98,000 down to about 96,000 yuan / ton.

Customs today announced the latest rare earth export data, according to exports, the export volume situation, the March data chain, fell year on year. And the month surpassed exports and total exports fell 3 percent. Export policy easing this year, although open, but only from the current data, the export development is not optimistic, international demand is very price sensitive, March or early domestic rare earth prices to curb some international demand.

REE as a modern industrial indispensable strategic resource, is widely used in the new energy, new materials, environmental protection, aerospace, electronics and information and other fields. However, the current structural contradictions of China's rare earth demand and increased capacity between rare earth market weakness. China's rare earth export policy to make major adjustments in 2015, the Commerce Department released "2015 list of goods export license management", formally abolished export quotas of rare earth export management to perform an export license, which gives the development of rare earth industry has brought new challenges.

First, the development of rare earth industry is facing difficulties

(A) does not match the rare earth production, exports and strategic resource locator. China's rare earth reserves are abundant, but the lower the per capita amount of resources.

According to the State Department announced in 2012, "China's rare earth Conditions and Policies," 23% of the white paper, China's rare earth reserves of the world's total reserves, the largest rare earth resources in the country. But a measure of the extent of the resource-rich standards, in addition to the total reserves, to better reflect the standard of authenticity is the amount of resources per capita. China's per capita amount of rare earth resources is only 1.06, less than 1/8 of the United States, only reached the world average.

Irrational structure of China's rare earth export smuggling seriously. All along, about 60 percent of China's rare earth production base for export, more than 75% of exports for the rare earth oxides and other primary products, China is the world's rare earth materials library. In China's rare earth exports in Japan, the United States, the European Union into three major countries and regions. Affected by multiple factors such as domestic and external demand, China's rare earth export smuggling is serious. Rare earth export quotas cancellation will further increase the export volume of China's rare earth, rare earth industry management which also brought new challenges.

(B) the rare earth industry, serious structural problem of excess capacity

Rare Earth Functional Materials commodity overcapacity. First, the primary processing of low-end products leads to overcapacity. China's production of rare earth processing products are mainly concentrated in permanent magnetic materials, luminescent materials, hydrogen storage materials and polishing powder in the low end, the majority of high-end materials still need to be imported for domestic use. Second place everywhere rare earth industry park planning and construction of aggravated disorderly repeat Rare Earth Functional Materials primary products further excess production capacity. At present, China has built 19 rare earth industrial park, there are more in the planning construction. Third, the high price of rare earth rare earth prompted users to find alternative products and alternative technologies, but also drastically reduced the demand for low-end rare earth functional materials.

(C) lack of rare earth industry chain extension

Surplus of low-end products, the lack of high-end products. Subject to the level of foreign patents and domestic R & D and technology, China's development of new materials in the rare earth and rare earth terminal applications is clearly insufficient. Foreign markets patented technical barriers limiting the development and application of rare earth new materials, making high-end material production technology and foreign technology, there are some gaps. The reason of insufficient development of rare earth deep processing is mainly reflected in three aspects: the lack of advanced core technologies; domestic rare earth functional materials and application of rare earth products consumption is inadequate; industrial development, there are still problems.

Second, the deep processing of the application is the key to get rid of the plight of the rare earth industry

(A) to accelerate the application of deep processing of rare earth resources in favor of the protection of rare earths

Rare earth industry to promote the extension of downstream applications, one can effectively change the rare corporate profits and private resources to pursue dug Luancai phenomenon, reduce the impact of rare earth mining and smelting and separation on human health and the environment, reduce environmental costs and help effective protection and rational utilization of rare earth resources; on the other hand, you can further enhance the added value of rare earth resources, increase business revenue.

(Ii) accelerate the rare earth deep-processing applications will help alleviate overcapacity

Promote the application of rare earth deep processing, one can reduce the overcapacity problem of rare earth elements, such as rare earth catalyst needed oil industry, the demand for rare earth elements such as lanthanum, cerium large, and increasing rare earth catalysts in the petroleum industry, can further improve the current production has excess consumption of lanthanum, cerium, rare earth consumption structure optimization. On the other hand, differences in the development of downstream applications by industry, but also effectively solve the rare earth industry park planning similar situation led to overcapacity.

(C) to accelerate the application of rare earth deep processing and promoting industrial upgrading

Processing and application of rare earth products refers to products on the basis of raw materials through separation or further processing of rare earth products, as well as products with unique features and components of rare earth deep processing products manufactured by the formation. Deep processing of rare earth industry to accelerate its applications development, further promote the extension and upgrading of the rare earth industry chain and promote the development of the middle reaches of the following tour application materials development, and promote the extension of rare earth industry chain to the ends of the curve with a high added value of a smile.

Third, promote deep processing of rare earth industry proposal applications

(A) Enhanced capacity coupled with the development of related industries

As a long-chain industry, rare earth materials industry generally regarded as intermediate inputs, the size of the demand largely depends on the degree of development of downstream end-use markets. In view of this, we must do the work of the following two aspects. First, enhance the ability of rare earth industry coupled with the development of strategic emerging industries. Second is the use of existing military technology advantage of new materials, promote the application of rare earth in the field of national defense. Increase research and development in the field of rare earth magnetic refrigeration and other new super-magnetostrictive material, to develop nuclear radiation shielding, high performance night vision and other military applications, rare earth materials play an important strategy in the field of national defense missiles, radar, nuclear reactions, etc. effect.

(B) the strengthening of new materials and high-end applications in the field of technological innovation

One is to encourage enterprises and research institutes to quickly follow up, the introduction of foreign mature rare new functional materials and application technology, and strive to high-performance rare earth magnetic materials, LED fluorescent materials, petroleum cracking catalyst material breakthroughs and innovation, research and development have Novel Rare Earth Functional Materials own intellectual property rights and related technologies as early as possible landing industrialization. Second, the research and development of new applications of rare earth element rich lanthanum, cerium and yttrium, increasing affluence of elements used in metallurgy, agriculture and environmental protection and other fields, to solve the problem of uneven application as possible. Third, increase the production of rare earth related equipment research and development efforts to break the bottleneck of rare earth functional materials production of key technology and equipment, improve product quality.

(C) intensify policy support

Guide the development of deep processing of rare earth industry to play an active role in various sectors, especially in downstream applications management, policy work together to promote comprehensive development of the industry. The rare earth deep-processing applications included encouraging the development of the directory, and the production of the corresponding products, the company offers financial support; tilt establish related research and development funds and key projects to rare earth deep-processing applications; local governments should pay attention to the ground to implement the rare earth deep processing projects; RE Industry associations should cooperate with relevant departments to do technical feasibility studies, project assessment and policy advice, etc., to support enterprises to carry out research and development, industrialization and application of rare earth deep-processing applications.

(D) encourage RE enterprise groups to improve the level of vertical integration

Encouraged to have large rare earth resources enterprise groups to improve the level of vertical integration, and R & D institutions and universities to actively cooperate vigorously develop the deep processing and comprehensive utilization of technology, using its own capital and technology, promote scientific and technological achievements with independent intellectual property rights industrialization. Meanwhile, business groups actively encourage RE extends downstream to increase cooperation with the application side of efforts to expand the applications of rare earth downstream.

(Five) complete the construction of the intellectual property system for rare earths

First, strengthen capacity building of intellectual property rights. System into the evaluation system of intellectual property rights, the establishment of the intellectual property system to consider, in promoting the process of consolidation and reorganization of rare earth comprehensive intellectual property risk assessment of key enterprises. The second is to encourage and support the Rare Earth Functional Materials companies and research institutes, colleges and universities to cooperate. Establish cooperation mechanisms for the development of high-performance rare earth functional materials and key technologies common technology equipment industries, enhance R & D and innovation, by supporting all aspects of finance, tax incentives to encourage enterprises to break the existing RE core patent restrictions as soon as possible as soon as possible to master the intellectual property rights. Third, the rare earth industry to build the intellectual property of public service platform to provide patent retrieval, analysis and warning service, master the international status quo and development trend of technology, the market demand, provide the information base for intellectual property management and services.
