Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Neodymium is an element which has 60 atomic number and the symbol is Nd. It is considered to be one of the rare-earth metals. Neodymium is malleable and ductile silvery white metal. Which is quickly tarnishes in moisture and air. It oxidizes willingly in air and form an oxide, Nd2O3 which is easily spalls, exposing the metal to further oxidation. This metal must be stored in sealed plastic or placed in vacuum or in an unreactive atmosphere.

Neodymium Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise the demand for in green energy technologies

Neodymium is widely used for generating energy. Due to global warming, various countries strive to use green energy sources to fulfill their requirement. Thus, wind energy and solar energy have gained momentum. Wind energy is the most effective technique available to generate energy. These wind mills have intrinsic motors made by a special rare-earth magnet called neodymium.

• Increase the use in permanent magnet

Neodymium are the most widely used in permanent magnet because it is the strongest rare earth-metal. The permanent magnet contains boron, iron, and neodymium alloy having an Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure. Amongst different qualities of magnets like N42, N38SH, N52, N50, N48, N38, and N35 are available in the market, N52 is considered the highest grade and strongest and highest grade of neodymium magnets. 

• Rise the use in glass industry

Neodymium is mainly used as a colorant for glasses. When neodymium is added to glass, it can produce colors ranging from pure violet to wine red through to warm grey. It is also used to remove the green color from the glass which has induced by the presence of iron. Neodymium consisting glasses can be used for astronomical work to sharp bands for the standardization of spectral lines, as an alternative to ruby in lasers for producing coherent light and filter for infrared radiation these factors are expected to drive the growth of the neodymium market.

Opportunities

Magnets held the major volume share of during the forecast period. Neodymium along with boron and iron makes a very strong permanent magnet. This has led to the growth of small-size electronics like loudspeakers, smartphones, computer hard drives, and several automotive electronic products and consumers.  With the rising population needs and the growing middle-class population, the demand for electronics is expected to grow in the long run, driving the market for neodymium and further boosting beneficial opportunities for the market's growth rate.

Restraints/ Challenges

As fluctuation in the price of raw materials which depends on the manufacturers to either absorb extra costs or rise the prices of the products. The demand for neodymium metals is dependent on the demand for its uses. Moreover, the demand for the applications is maximum dependent on the end-user industries. Hence, the neodymium metal has a double supply chain, which upsurges the final price demanded by manufacturers. So these are the major market that restrains the market and obstructs the market's growth rate.
