Report Highlights

Major rare earth consumers include China, the United States, Japan and Europe. China is the world's largest consumer, as rare earth finds increasingly broad and intensive application in the country's national economy. With regard to consumption structure, advanced materials are the No. 1 application field, taking up more than 50% in the total consumption, and advanced materials are also the fastest-growing field.

With the rapid development of advanced rare earth materials technology, advanced rare earth materials' added value keeps increasing, and the industry chain is prolonged. In the future, the transfer of production toward rare earth resource producing areas will speed up. In light of the industry's basic characteristics, through M&A, joint ventures, holding and equity participation with enterprises that possess mineral resources at the core, Chinese rear earth enterprises should move toward the downstream sector of the industry chain, grow in both size and strength, optimize and upgrade industrial structure, and boost risk resistance, eventually dominating the international rare earth market and the application market.
In 2008, China pressed ahead with the implementation of scientific development view. By eliminating production capacity with high energy consumption and high pollution and restricting mining of rare earth by foreign investors in China, the Chinese government strives to promote the healthy development of the rare earth industry. As a result, gross industrial output value and sales revenue keep hitting record highs in this sector. In 2009, China's advanced rare earth materials industry will maintain strong momentum¡­

In the face of changes and challenges in competition and market, we release the 2008-2009 Annual Report on the Development of China's Advanced Rare Earth Materials Industry, which helps vendors, investors and industry insiders grasp more accurately laws governing the industry's development, and comb more deeply the transfer trace of application value:
