CITIC Securities stated that the strategic importance of global rare earth resources continues to rise, with the rare earth industry entering a new era of high-quality development. On the supply side, quota controls combined with regulatory policies may strengthen supply rigidities. On the demand side, emerging sectors such as new energy vehicles, humanoid robots, and low-altitude economy are expected to become core drivers of long-term high growth in demand. The firm expects the global rare earth supply-demand gap to continue widening from 2026, with rare earth prices likely to steadily advance and industry chain profitability to continuously improve. The firm continues to recommend the strategic allocation value of the rare earth industry chain.
