Capitalising on high growth market
Fueled by the electrification trend – strong growth in NdFeB sintered magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines
Anticipated global REO magnet demand growth by industry1
Key drivers for rare earths
216kt
•
Electric drivetrains and wind energy to represent
59% of rare earth oxide demand for magnets by
2032
•
EV demand to grow significantly by 2032 as
governments ban the sale of the traditional internal
combustion engines
•
The Yangibana Project can supply NdPr used in
NdFeB magnets for 1.5 million EVs per year (if
100% of sales to this channel)
•
Wind power has been identified as the fas
