In China, the prices of Rhenium were ~USD 3,818,220.00/MT and ~USD 3,771,620.00/MT, respectively, in the first and last month of the second quarter of 2026. The market remained supported by restricted material availability and cautious supplier releases during Q2’26. Rhenium supply continued to depend on recovery from molybdenum and copper processing streams, with China’s molybdenum production reaching 3,184 tonnes in Q1 2026, supporting potential rhenium feed availability. However, buyers resisted higher procurement levels, leading to a mild correction later in the quarter.
In India, the prices of Rhenium were ~USD 3,818,270.00/MT in April and ~USD 3,771,708.00/MT in June, showing a ~1.2% decrease. The market remained influenced by global supply conditions, as India relies mainly on imported rhenium material. Limited availability from major producing regions and steady demand from aerospace and specialty alloy applications supported prices, while softer procurement activity reduced upward momentum.
In the United States, the prices of Rhenium were ~USD 3,818,307.00/MT in April and ~USD 3,771,775.00/MT in June. U.S. supply remained dependent on imports, with sourcing from Chile, Canada, Germany and Poland forming the major supply base. Recycling also gained importance as companies expanded efforts to recover rhenium from superalloy scrap.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, rhenium prices are expected to remain firm, supported by aerospace demand and limited supply, while recycling capacity expansions may gradually improve availability.

Rhenium prices in Q1’26 reflected a structurally tight market supported by constrained upstream supply and steady downstream demand. Global production increased only marginally to about 81,000 kilograms, highlighting limited supply responsiveness, while U.S. imports of unwrought rhenium and powders surged by 83%, and apparent consumption rose by 34%, indicating strong trade-driven demand growth. As rhenium is primarily extracted as a by-product from molybdenum concentrates, supply remained inflexible despite rising requirements from aerospace and refining sectors. Demand remained concentrated in superalloys used in jet engines and high-temperature applications, alongside catalytic reforming in petroleum refining, keeping consumption levels firm. In the latter half of the quarter, the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruption increased freight, insurance, and energy costs, raising overall procurement expenses rather than directly restricting physical supply.
Rhenium is a chemical element. In appearance, it is a silvery-grey, heavy, third-row transition metal in group 7 of the periodic table. Rhenium is known to be one of the rarest elements in the earth's crust. It has the 3rd-highest melting point as well as the 2nd-highest boiling point of any stable element at 5903 K.
