SMM Analysis: January 2025 Medium-Heavy Rare Earth Oxide Production Sees Minor MoM Fluctuation Amid Mixed Raw Ore and Scrap Recycling Trends

[SMM Analysis: Scrap Recycling Operating Rate Rises, Medium-Heavy Rare Earth Oxide Production Shows Relatively Small MoM Change in January]

In January 2025, the medium-heavy rare earth oxide market presented a complex picture. At the beginning of the month, data showed a slight MoM decrease in medium-heavy rare earth oxide production from raw ore separation plants, while production from scrap recycling enterprises experienced some MoM growth. Overall, despite the differing situations in raw ore production and scrap recycling, the total production of medium-heavy rare earth oxides showed relatively small changes compared to December 2024.
