Roskill forecasts demand for neodymium for magnets to result in supply deficit; substitutions by 2021

Green Car Congress

Roskill forecasts that the deficit will increase to 2021, making continued growth of NdFeB magnets unsustainable, despite efforts by rare earth producers to increase neodymium supply. The green energy sector is the most vulnerable to price rises because of the large size of magnets used. Global NEV production could rise by 3.5-4.0
