Leave a Comment

Highlights

  • China has consistently dominated global rare earth metals production across nearly three decades (1995-2023).
  • Visual data from multiple sources confirms China’s near-monopolistic control of rare earth metals sourcing and mining.
  • The production trends demonstrate China’s strategic importance in critical mineral resource extraction and global supply chains.

See the Visual Capitalist (opens in a new tab) for a clear and present dominance of Chinese rare earth element sourcing and mining, production and exporting in 2023.
