Global Rare Earth Supply Shortage Expected
China has implemented new export restrictions targeting European Union companies in response to arms sales involving Taiwan. China, the world's largest exporter of solar panels, is considering restrictions on solar manufacturing equipment destined for the United States. The move could impact foreign relations between the two nations. This supply falls short of the global requirement of 50,000 tons per year. The reduction follows a previous instance where China restricted exports to Japan following a collision between Chinese fishermen and the Japanese Coast Guard. The supply shortage has prompted calls to revive domestic production in the United States. Global demand for these materials is estimated at 50,000 tons annually. This supply gap is being cited as a driver for the revival of U.S.-based MaliCorp. This supply gap is expected to drive prices higher, according to the source.
