Reportlinker Adds Rare Earth Metals in Cleantech Industry
NEW YORK, June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Rare Earth Metals in Cleantech Industry
Supply and Demand Dynamics, Risk Assessment, Price Scenarios, and Market Forecasts for Rare Earth Metals Utilized in Wind Turbines, Electric Vehicles, Fuel Cells, and Energy Efficient Lighting Markets
China's monopoly over the global rare earth metals market has come under increased international scrutiny following recent efforts on the part of the Chinese government aimed at consolidating its domestic rare earth metal industry. Accounting for 97% of worldwide rare earth metal production, China's new export quotas, introduced in July 2010, have seen prices for rare earths skyrocket. As a result, rare earth metals have been identified as a troubling area of potential risk for a number of prominent clean energy technologies including wind turbines, electric vehicles, fuel cells, and energy efficient lighting.
Although positive initiatives offer the potential for market alleviation in the long term, the short term picture for the clean technology will be characterized by a significant supply risk brought about by China's strict new export quotas. This will almost certainly come to influence the adoption and commercialization of certain technologies across the cleantech industry. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for respective clean technology manufacturers to assess their rare earth needs and explore options for reducing dependence. Up to this point, however, there has been very little evidence of this kind of assessment despite the increased market prices for critical rare earth metals.
This Pike Research report provides a comprehensive analysis of supply and demand dynamics, assessment of risk, and pricing scenarios for the utilization of rare earth metals in cleantech applications. The study includes profiles of key industry players and their strategies to address the need for rare earth metals in the cleantech industry. Detailed demand forecasts, segmented by rare earth metal, application, and world region, are provided through 2017.
Key Questions Addressed:
-What is the rare earth material intensity for each respective application?
-What is the level of dependence of the clean technology industry on rare earths?
-What is the potential risk of each application to rare earth metal pricing?
-What is the potential risk to each regional clean technology economy?
-What new technologies are helping to limit dependence on rare earth metals?
Who needs this report?
