Export Boom
Record Volume: China exported 5,577 tons of permanent magnets in July, a 75% month-on-month increase—the highest since April 2025 amid trade tensions.
High Prices: Average export price held firm at ¥351,600/ton, with U.S.-bound shipments rising to ¥329,500/ton.
Demand Drivers
EVs & Wind Power: Auto production growth projected at 20%, while wind installations and industrial robotics surged 20%+ and 35%-40%, respectively.
Emerging Sectors: Humanoid robots and eVTOLs show strong potential.
Supply Constraints
Rising Costs: Praseodymium-neodymium oxide prices hit ¥620,000/ton; Australia’s potential price floor may further inflate domestic prices.
Recently, a key development in China's high-performance rare earth permanent magnet industry directly addresses a critical "chokepoint" in the supply chain. In February 2026, a major Chinese magnet material manufacturer signed a long-term supply agreement with a domestic upstream supplier concerning
On February 19, 2026, a landmark research achievement was announced that could have a disruptive impact on the entire permanent magnet industry, particularly the electric vehicle sector which is most dependent on rare earth elements. Scientists at the University of New Hampshire have used artificial
According to the latest industry developments, a significant U.S. trade policy officially came into force on January 1, 2026. While market focus over the past year has largely been on the 2025 "Executive Tariffs," the tariff increases authorized under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 have now be
Recently, the magnet industry is facing a profound and impactful global supply chain shift directly driven by trade policy. Effective January 1, 2026, the long-planned U.S. "Section 301" tariffs have been activated, imposing an additional 25% duty on commercial permanent magnets (including samarium
Recently, the global supply chain competition surrounding the critical strategic material of rare earth magnets has intensified sharply. In January 2026, the United States, Japan, and the European Union are accelerating coordinated actions in an attempt to build a "de-sinicized" rare earth and magne
According to industry information as of early December 2025, the magnet industry is at the intersection of two core trends: on one hand, the restructuring of the global supply chain is accelerating, driven by policies in multiple countries; on the other hand, emerging applications represented by hum
EU Passes Critical Raw Materials Act Mandating Recycled Magnets in Wind Turbines and EVsOn October 7, 2024, the European Parliament approved amendments to the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), requiring a minimum 25% recycled magnet content in EU wind turbines and electric vehicle motors by 2030. T
According to industry news in December 2025, high-performance permanent ferrite magnets are experiencing strong demand in various fields including automotive, home appliances, and new energy, thanks to their advantages such as low cost, high-temperature resistance, and demagnetization resistance.
