Until a year ago, rare earth elements were hailed as the next big thing with the whole world scrambling to invest in rare earth mines. In recent months, however, rare earth stocks have been falling like meteorites, with many investors thinking whether it is the end of the party for the rare earth elements industry and the companies exploring and mining them.
First of all, the entire fuss over the rare earth elements shortage was over hyped. A study undertaken by IMARC Group, one of the worlds’s leading research and advisory firms, reveals that while it’s clear that a number of rare earth elements will witness a critical supply shortage in the near term, rare earth elements, on a whole, will be oversupplied by around 20% by 2015. So strictly speaking, it is not the total, but rather five rare earth elements - Erbium, Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium and Europium that will face a supply shortage in the coming years. Elements such as Samarium, Cerium, Lanthanum, etc, on the other hand, will be massively oversupplied in the future.
Secondly, the fall in rare earth stock prices witnessed in recent months was a sharp correction of unrealistic bubble prices that were created during 2010 and the early part of 2011. Price projections from the report suggest that prices of elements such as Dysprosium, Terbium, Europium, etc will increase in the next five years; on the contrary, the prices of elements such as Lanthanum, Cerium, Samarium, etc will fall like crazy. The report suggests that investors should analyze the grade and composition of individual rare earth elements before taking their investment decisions as mines rich in heavy rare earths such as Terbium and Dysprosium will have significantly better prospects than mines that have a lower share of these elements.
IMARC’s new report entitled “The Global Rare Earth Elements Market 2011-2015: Is the Hype Justified?” provides an analytical and statistical insight into the global rare earth elements market. The study that has been undertaken using both desk-based as well as qualitative primary research has analyzed five aspects of the rare earth elements market.
