Materials like neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium are critical for permanent magnets, electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and defence technologies – and efforts are under way to diversify supply away from China. Meanwhile, a host of other REEs – from gadolinium to yttrium, erbium to samarium – remain vital building blocks for a host of essential industries around the world. Argus delivers:

• Price assessments across major markets, including China and emerging alternative producers and refiners
• Policy impact analysis, including export controls and tariffs and how these will impact global pricing
• Supply chain intelligence on rare earths mining, separation and refining capabilities

• Assessments of 17 rare earths elements to cover full scope of applications beyond just magnets
• Magnet alloy prices
• Rare earth prices for various stages of refinement – oxides, metals and carbonate
• Rare earth prices in western markets for optionality outside of China

Technology metals such as tantalum, gallium, germanium, antimony, indium, bismuth and high-purity silicon are essential in the production of semiconductors, advanced electronics and solar panels. These materials play a critical role in enabling innovation across sectors including telecommunications, electric vehicles, data centers, and clean energy infrastructure.

Argus provides:

• Benchmark pricing across various grades of material for various applications as well as upstream and downstream forms of metals
• Coverage of strategic supply chains, including Chinese production and western diversification efforts
• Insight into tariffs, export controls and trade policy impacts
• Analysis of demand trends driven by digitalisation, electrification and decarbonisation

As global reliance on these irreplaceable materials intensifies, Argus helps companies manage cost exposure, supply risk, and plan for long-term growth in high-tech industries.

Argus tracks market dynamics and prices for metals critical to aerospace engineering, including:

• Light metals such as aluminium, titanium and magnesium, valued for their strength-to-weight ratio in aircraft structures and satellite components.
• High-temperature metals such as tungsten, cobalt, molybdenum, niobium and hafnium, used in jet engines, rocket nozzles and thermal shielding.
• Superalloys such as Inconels and aerospace grade aluminum alloys

The Argus Alloy calculator also allows Argus clients to develop customised ‘should-cost’ models for any alloyed material they buy using intrinsic value calculations if there is not an available assessment from Argus.

Accurate market intelligence is essential for procurement and planning as aerospace applications expand and demand for highly engineered materials intensifies. Argus helps manufacturers detect risks to supply and manage cost pressures in these high-performance material markets.
