US critical minerals policy is evolving into a far more interventionist industrial strategy, with implications extending well beyond domestic supply chains. This new study compares the United States and European Union approaches to critical raw materials, examining how funding, stockpiling, processing capacity and strategic partnerships are redefining competition for mineral security. The study argues that critical minerals are no longer treated […]
Critical minerals are increasingly shaping industrial policy, energy security and geopolitical competition as governments race to secure resilient supply chains. The latest research examines how processing capacity, supply concentration and growing demand from clean energy, AI and defence are redefining the global critical minerals landscape. The paper argues that the definition of “critical” extends well beyond geological scarcity. Instead, criticality increasingly […]
Global critical minerals are becoming an increasingly important economic and national security issue as export controls, geopolitical tensions and highly concentrated refining capacity expose supply chains to growing disruption risks. The latest outlook examines market, investment and policy developments across copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, rare earths and other strategic minerals, while outlining the measures needed to build more resilient and […]
Japan rare earths are becoming an increasingly important strategic issue as demand rises with the energy transition. New modelling suggests that a severe disruption to rare earth imports could trigger a sharp economic slowdown, affecting manufacturing, exports, employment and supply chains across the Japanese economy. The analysis models a scenario in which Japan’s rare earth imports fall by 75% and alternative […]
The Australian critical minerals outlook points to rising production and export earnings across lithium, copper, nickel, rare earths and several smaller strategic minerals through 2030–31. While price and demand trends vary considerably between commodities, expanding mine output and new refining capacity are forecast to lift Australia’s total critical mineral export earnings to around A$19 billion in real terms by the end of the outlook […]
African rare earths could play an increasingly important role in diversifying global supply chains as governments and manufacturers seek alternatives to China’s dominant position in the sector. This new analysis examines Africa’s resource potential, emerging mining projects and investment opportunities, while highlighting the infrastructure, financing and processing challenges that must be overcome to unlock the continent’s rare earth industry. The […]
UK critical minerals leadership will depend on whether the government can translate its existing strategy into investable projects across mining, processing, recycling and associated services. The report recommends establishing a dedicated Critical Minerals Investment Facility within the National Wealth Fund to support projects throughout their lifecycle, including early-stage developments that currently struggle to access capital. It also calls for deeper […]
EU critical raw materials supply is central to Europe’s competitiveness, energy transition and strategic autonomy, yet the bloc remains highly dependent on imports across extraction and processing. The assessment finds that the EU produces only limited shares of most critical raw materials and is fully import-dependent for several extracted and processed materials, including rare earth elements. China is especially dominant […]
Norway critical raw materials provide an important contribution to European security of supply, with annual exports valued at close to EUR 9 billion and the process industry accounting for most of that value. Aluminium is the country’s largest critical raw material export, followed by nickel, zinc, silicon and ferrosilicon. Norway also holds strategically important production positions, including around 9% of […]
