Production of rare earth elements more than doubled
between 2010 and 2021 from 133,000 tonnes in 2010, to an
estimated 280,000 tonnes in 2021.
The United States was the world's largest supplier of REES
until the emergence of China in the mid-1990s.
China was virtually the world's sole REE supplier until 2012,
when the US producer Molycorp Inc. and the Australian
company Lynas Rare Earths Ltd. started commercial
production.
