Source:Recycling InternationalThe increasing use of rare earth metals in several industries is likely to fuel their demand over the next couple of years.New research from Future Market Insights says the current global market for rare earth metals of more than US$ 3 billion (EUR 2.7 billion) will rise to US$ 7.3 billion by 2026. This represents a 8.5% compound annual growth rate.China not only has the largest deposit of rare earths, it also consumes the most rare earths; almost 105 000 tonnes per year. Japan is second with far less – roughly 25 000 tonnes. The US and Europe follow, consuming ar...
