Technik + Einkauf featured two recent market analyses by TRADIUM on April 7, highlighting the latest developments in strategic raw materials.
The first report focuses on the sharp decline in exports of the rare earth elements dysprosium and terbium at the beginning of the year, driven by stricter approval procedures in China. The second examines shifts in global trade flows for gallium and germanium: shipments are increasingly directed towards a limited number of recipient countries, while certain markets, such as Japan, are currently receiving minimal supply.
Both analyses underscore the significant influence of geopolitical factors on the availability of critical raw materials.
