[193 Pages Report] The Rare Earth Metals Leaching Chemicals Market size was estimated at USD 496.90 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 523.49 million in 2024, at a CAGR 5.38% to reach USD 717.27 million by 2030.
The rare earth metals refer to a set of seventeen metallic elements and are categorized into light elements (lanthanum to samarium) and heavy elements (europium to lutetium). Various acids used as leaching agents in the recovery of rare earth from phosphate rock by hydrometallurgical processes, such as sulphuric acid (H2SO4), Nitric acid (HNO3), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and hydrochloric acid( HCL) are referred to as rare earth metals leaching chemicals. The rising demand for rare earth metals in microelectronics, semiconductor, and technology devices has necessitated the deployment of leaching chemicals to acquire the essential rare earth metals. Furthermore, government initiatives to accelerate the mining of rare earth metals have cemented the growth and adoption of leaching chemicals and leaching technology. However, environmental and sustainability concerns and public health issues pose regulatory and legal hurdles to the growth of rare earth metal-leaching chemicals. Additionally, the unreliability of leaching chemicals and the inability of chemicals to achieve adequate separation of rare earth metals impede the widespread adoption of rare earth metals leaching chemicals. However, major players are constantly investing to improve the sustainability of leaching technologies and have invested in the development of sustainable sulphuric acid and sustainable hydrochloric acid technology plants. Additionally, private partnerships to accelerate the extraction of rare earth metals and advancements in leaching technologies through the adoption of AI/ML technologies can significantly improve the reliability and accuracy of leaching metals.
