Recently, MP Materials announced plans to establish its first rare earth metal and magnet manufacturing plant in Texas. This move aims to rebuild the complete rare earth supply chain in the United States and support emerging technologies such as electric vehicles. The facility is expected to process approximately 6,075 tons of NdPr oxide annually to meet growing domestic demand. MP Materials also plans to expand its alloy and magnet production capacity in the future (Magnetics Magazine) (The National Law Review).
Meanwhile, Neo Performance Materials has announced the expansion of its MQ1 compression-molded magnet production capacity in Tianjin and Chuzhou, China, to address the growing global demand for high-precision NdFeB magnetic materials. This investment, expected to be completed by the end of September, reflects the strong market demand for these high-performance magnets (Magnetics Magazine).
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Commerce recently initiated a Section 232 investigation on NdFeB magnet imports to assess whether these imports threaten national security. This investigation could result in tariffs or other restrictions on imported magnets to protect domestic production capabilities (The National Law Review).
These developments indicate that the demand for NdFeB magnets will continue to grow rapidly as the global economy shifts towards electrification and decarbonization.
