Gain clarity on pricing, supply and strategy across rare earths and critical minerals markets

Argus is launching the Argus Rare Earths & Critical Minerals Conference in Washington, DC, US in March 2027 — a new conference focused on the challenges shaping global strategic materials markets.

As geopolitical tensions reshape global trade flows, governments and industries are under increasing pressure to secure resilient supply chains for the metals and materials critical to advanced manufacturing, defence, aerospace, semiconductors, electronics and industrial production.

China’s export controls on gallium, germanium and other strategic materials have intensified concerns around supply security, market concentration and pricing transparency, placing critical minerals and strategic metals at the centre of industrial policy discussions across the US, Europe and allied economies.

This conference provides essential insight into how these markets are evolving — and what it means for organisations navigating supply, pricing and procurement decisions in an increasingly complex environment.
