About Dysprosium
Dysprosium is a rare earth element critical to the clean energy transition. It is one of the most important additives in neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets — the powerful magnets that drive electric vehicle motors and wind turbines. Adding just 1-2% dysprosium to NdFeB magnets significantly improves their performance at high temperatures, preventing demagnetization in EV motors that operate at elevated heat. China dominates global dysprosium supply, controlling over 80% of production and an even larger share of processing capacity. This concentration of supply has made dysprosium a strategic mineral for governments worldwide, with the US, EU, Japan, and others building stockpiles and investing in alternative supply chains. As EV adoption accelerates, dysprosium demand is projected to grow substantially through 2030.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is dysprosium important for electric vehicles?
Dysprosium is added to neodymium permanent magnets to improve their high-temperature performance. Without dysprosium, the magnets in EV motors would demagnetize under operating heat, significantly reducing efficiency. Each EV motor typically requires 0.1-0.5 kg of dysprosium.
Why does China dominate dysprosium supply?
China controls the world's largest rare earth deposits and has invested heavily in processing infrastructure over decades. It controls approximately 80-85% of global dysprosium production and an even larger share of the refining capacity needed to convert raw ore to usable metal.
How is dysprosium priced?
Dysprosium is traded over-the-counter (not on an exchange) and priced per kilogram or metric ton. Prices are volatile and heavily influenced by Chinese export policy, quotas, and global magnet manufacturing demand.
Is there a dysprosium shortage risk?
Yes — supply is concentrated in China, demand is growing with EV adoption, and building alternative supply chains takes decades. Many governments classify dysprosium as a critical mineral with high supply risk.
What are alternatives to dysprosium in magnets?
Research is ongoing into magnet designs that reduce or eliminate dysprosium, including grain boundary diffusion techniques and new alloy formulations. However, for high-performance applications, no fully effective substitute has been commercialized at scale.
