Japan Dysprosium Market Poised for USD 400 Million Growth by 2035

The Japan dysprosium market is entering a transformative decade, with projections pointing toward a valuation of USD 400 million by 2035, growing steadily at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% from 2025. Dysprosium, a rare earth element essential for magnetic and thermal performance, has become a foundation for Japan’s industrial innovation across renewable energy, automotive, defense, and electronics.

This growth is not only tied to global trends but also to Japan’s strategic national goals. As the nation aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 and advances its dominance in high-tech manufacturing, dysprosium stands at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and resilience.

Renewable Energy Sector Accelerates Demand

Japan’s renewable energy transition is reshaping its demand for rare earth materials. Offshore wind energy projects, a cornerstone of the nation’s green policy, rely heavily on dysprosium for neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets. These magnets enhance wind turbine performance by ensuring energy efficiency and thermal stability.

As Japan intensifies its focus on sustainable energy infrastructure, dysprosium consumption in renewable applications is expected to surge. This shift underscores the material’s indispensable role in delivering energy efficiency while supporting the nation’s clean energy commitments.

Electric Vehicles Powering Industrial Expansion

The automotive industry, a hallmark of Japan’s manufacturing strength, is pivoting toward electrification. The government has committed to ensuring that 100% of companies transition to selling electrified vehicles by 2035. Dysprosium, critical in high-performance EV motors, enables energy efficiency, durability, and resistance to extreme thermal conditions.

With major automakers accelerating production of EVs and hybrids, dysprosium demand within the automotive sector is projected to grow at an annual rate of 5.8%. This expansion positions the element as a catalyst for both innovation and industrial competitiveness in the global EV market.

Strategic Defense Applications Reinforce National Security

Beyond energy and mobility, dysprosium’s importance extends into Japan’s defense and aerospace industries. From advanced missile systems to radar technologies and fighter jets, dysprosium enhances the performance and reliability of critical defense assets.

With a projected growth rate of 4.8% in defense and aerospace applications, dysprosium reinforces Japan’s focus on maintaining advanced capabilities and securing its strategic independence. Its integration into sensitive defense technologies highlights the element’s dual role in both economic growth and national security.

Diversifying Supply Chains for Long-Term Stability

One of the market’s most pressing challenges lies in supply chain dependency. Currently, over 80% of dysprosium production originates from Chinese facilities. Japan is proactively reducing this reliance by forging new partnerships with countries such as Australia and Vietnam while simultaneously investing in recycling technologies.

Recent initiatives, including Mitsubishi Materials’ rare earth recycling program and Daido Steel’s investment in dysprosium-based magnets, demonstrate Japan’s commitment to sustainable sourcing. These steps are vital in building a more resilient supply network that supports industrial growth without compromising security of supply.

Segments Shaping Market Growth

Permanent magnets represent the largest application segment, driven by demand across EV motors, wind turbines, and electronics. Defense and aerospace applications continue to secure steady demand, while renewable energy emerges as the fastest-growing sector. Other niche uses in nuclear reactors, laser systems, and medical devices also contribute to a diversified market base.

By end-use industry, energy accounts for the most significant share, closely followed by automotive. Electronics and defense provide continuous momentum, highlighting the broad spectrum of industries depending on dysprosium’s unique properties.

Industry Players and Competitive Dynamics

The Japan dysprosium market remains moderately consolidated, with international corporations, domestic manufacturers, and innovators shaping the competitive landscape. Global players such as Lynas Rare Earths Ltd., China Northern Rare Earth Group, and MP Materials dominate supply, accounting for about 65% of the market share.

Meanwhile, domestic manufacturers including Daido Steel Co. and Mitsubishi Materials contribute 25%, focusing on high-purity dysprosium for military and EV applications. Startups and innovators represent the remaining 10%, pioneering recycling technologies and advanced processing methods that will strengthen long-term market resilience.

Recent Developments Strengthening the Market

Several developments in 2025 underscore Japan’s proactive approach to securing dysprosium resources. In February, Lynas Rare Earths expanded agreements with Japanese wind turbine manufacturers. By May, Mitsubishi Materials had launched a rare earth recycling initiative targeting end-of-life electronics. In August, Daido Steel announced new investments in dysprosium-based magnets for both EVs and renewable energy systems.

These industry updates highlight how collaboration, sustainability, and technological innovation are converging to ensure future supply stability.
