During Q2 2026, samarium in China averaged 9,770 USD/MT (FOB) in June'26. Indian samarium was assessed at an average of 9,858 USD/MT (CIF) during June'26, while Germany recorded an average of 9,891 USD/MT (CIF). The market moved toward a more balanced supply situation as new non-China production reduced concerns around availability. China remained the main pricing centre, but the start-up of Lynas’ Malaysian rare-earth separation operations, which produced its first samarium oxide in March 2026, improved global supply flexibility. China continued to account for more than 90% of global samarium oxide supply, keeping export policies and domestic production trends important for global buyers. Demand from high-performance applications including aerospace, defence, electronics and high-temperature magnets provided stability, but improved supply availability limited upward price movement.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, samarium prices are expected to remain stable to slightly soft, with additional supply balancing demand growth while China’s export policies remain a key market factor.

During Q1’26, samarium prices followed a fluctuating trend as rare earth supply concentration and processing limitations supported early quarter sentiment. China’s strong position in rare earth refining kept the market sensitive to export controls and availability concerns, which strengthened prices in January and February. Global rare earth mine production was estimated at ~390,000 metric tons in 2025, indicating that samarium remained part of a limited rare earth production stream rather than a large standalone commodity. Demand from samarium-cobalt magnets stayed stable due to use in defence, aerospace, electronics, sensors, and high-temperature motor applications. However, high price levels and cautious downstream procurement reduced transaction activity in March. In the latter half of the quarter, the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure raised freight, insurance, and delivery risks for rare earth shipments, which tightened supply access in import-dependent markets and added upward pressure on samarium prices.
Samarium is a well-known chemical element belonging to the lanthanide series of the periodic table. It is a moderately hard silvery metal, which can slowly oxidise in air. Samarium is one of the rare earth metals that is extracted from natural ore materials like mineral monazite and bastnasite. Samarium is the third most volatile lanthanide that comes after ytterbium and europium.
