In the second half of 2025, the Praseodymium-Neodymium (NdPr) alloy market registered an impressive growth trend, primarily driven by the tightening supply and rising industrial demand. The U.S. suppliers concentrated on local processing and controlled the export of the alloy to China, thereby reducing the global supply. Concurrently, the supply from China was affected by the implementation of tighter export quotas and control, putting significant pressure on global buyers to source the alloy.
The industrial and application demand continued to increase from major industries, including electric vehicle motors, wind farms, and high-performance electronics, as they require the Praseodymium-Neodymium alloy to function as permanent magnets. The qualification of U.S. sourced Praseodymium-Neodymium Oxide for commercial use in permanent magnets helped to boost market sentiment. Moreover, the involvement of governments in the form of strategic investment in the rare earth sector in the U.S. and European regions contributed to the growth trend.
Overall, H2’25 reflected a clear upward trend, with prices benefiting from supply limitations, strategic sourcing initiatives, and steady growth in green energy and technology applications.
