Elements Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast (2025-2032)

The Elements Market size was valued at USD 3695.68 Million in 2024 and the total Elements revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2032, reaching nearly USD 6302.55 Million.
Elements Market Overview
The elements of earth are set of seventeen elements which include fifteen lanthanides on periodic table and scandium as well as yttrium. These elements are an essential part of many high-tech devices and are used extensively for various end-use applications. As per the available information, earth elements are necessary components for more than 200 products across a variety of applications. Especially, in electronics for high tech consumer products such as cellphones, computer hard drives, electric vehicles, electronic displays, and many others. In 1993, china produced 38% of the world’s earth elements, the US produced 33% followed by Australia at 12%

Although these elements may not be a significant part of the product by weight, volume, or value but is an important part of product functioning. For example, magnets made from elements represent a small amount of weight to the total product but is crucial for spindle motor in laptops and computers.
