Recent findings suggesting a global supply shortage of rare earth elements has created a panic among end users and a gold rush among miners. IMARC Group, one of the world‘s leading research and advisory firms, finds that with a number of new mines starting production in the next five years, the total supply of rare earth elements will be significantly more than the total demand. Although, a number of rare earth elements would be oversupplied, we may face a shortage of some elements that are critical for the long term growth of the clean technology industry.

2. Report Description & Highlights
Recent findings suggesting a global supply shortage of rare earth elements has created a panic
among end users and a gold rush among miners. IMARC Group, one of the world‘s leading
research and advisory firms, finds that with a number of new mines starting production in the
next five years, the total supply of rare earth elements will be significantly more than the
total demand. Although, a number of rare earth elements would be oversupplied, we may
face a shortage of some elements that are critical for the long term growth of the clean
technology industry.
