Significant Developments in NdFeB Magnet Production
Headline: Increased Demand Drives Expansion in NdFeB Magnet Manufacturing
Key Points:
MP Materials has announced the establishment of its first rare earth metal and magnet manufacturing plant in Texas, aiming to rebuild the complete rare earth supply chain in the United States. The new facility is expected to process approximately 6,075 tons of NdPr oxide annually to meet the growing domestic demand.
Neo Performance Materials is expanding its MQ1 compression-molded magnet production capacity in Tianjin and Chuzhou, China, in response to the rising global demand for high-precision NdFeB magnetic materials. This expansion, expected to be completed by September, reflects the strong market confidence in high-performance magnets.
Production and Demand Chart
Below is a chart indicating the projected increase in NdFeB magnet production and demand:
| Year | Production Capacity (tons) | Demand (tons) |
| 2023 | 5,000 | 4,800 |
| 2024 | 6,075 | 5,600 |
