Samarium Price Trend and Forecast
Regional Price Overview
Get the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of Samarium in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
For the First Half of 2022
The prices of rare earth elements are on a continuous rise as the demand rises manifolds compared to the limited supply. China dominates the mining, production, and processing of rare earth elements like samarium thus, any fluctuations in the Chinese market reverberate globally. Samarium is used in energy transitions and magnets required in the EV industry.
The strong robust demand from the EV sector amid the continuing trade bottlenecks and supply uncertainties caused the prices of samarium to inflate globally. The constricted supply lines resulted due to covid related disruptions and expensive logistics. The closure of the border with Myanmar from where China sources 50% of their rare earth elements negatively impacted the price trend for Samarium. The price of samarium metal (99.5% min) averaged 412072.50 USD/MT during the said period.
