Yttrium Market Outlook (2024 to 2034)

Worldwide revenue from the yttrium market is estimated to stand at US$ 114.9 million in 2024 and is slated to increase at a CAGR of 4.6% to reach US$ 179.92 million by 2034.

Highly crystalline iron-gray rare-earth metal yttrium is frequently added to alloys. It makes magnesium and aluminum alloys stronger. Yttrium has a wide range of applications and is a major market driver in both construction and medicines. The industry is making investments in yttrium-based technologies and is gradually advancing toward application piloting and experimentation. The market is seeing increased potential as yttrium is consumed more in the military industry.

Camera lenses are made of glass that has had yttrium oxide added to it to make it resistant to stress and heat. In addition, superconductors are made with it. Yttrium-90, a radioactive isotope, is used in medicine to treat several malignancies, including liver cancer. The market is expanding thanks to these diverse applications in several end-user industries.

The principal locations of the world's yttrium deposits are Australia, Brazil, China, Russia, and Vietnam. Global yttrium reserves are sufficient to supply near-term demand at present production levels. Yet, several variables, including trade restrictions, environmental concerns, economic conditions, and the increasing demand for ion adsorption ores in China and Myanmar, will continue to influence the availability and cost of several rare earth elements, including yttrium.

Because of its physical characteristics, which include electrical conductivity, resistance to heat, stability, and low weight, yttrium is finding widespread use in several applications across large commercial and industrial sectors. Television sets, panels, and light bulbs all utilize it. Other uses for yttrium include flat panel displays and plasma. The technology and efficiency of electronic devices are improved by producers all over the globe, which is supporting the expansion of the global yttrium market.

Yttrium is a chemical element (symbol Y) belonging to the rare earth element group, which is an exceptional group of elements that exhibit superior magnetic, optical, and electronic properties. Attributing to its physical properties such as excellent electric conductivity, creep resistance, heat stabilizing, and lightweight, yttrium is garnering tremendous attention from industrial and manufacturing sectors. Largely, yttrium is extracted from the deposits of rare earth elements, while some relatively smaller quantities are obtained during the mining of other metals.

Yttrium is not found as a pure element, but always in the form of a compound, mostly yttrium oxide. Yttrium is used in manufacturing the tubes of older television sets and displays excellent color ranges. It is, therefore, used in light bulbs and panels as well.

Among all yttrium compounds, yttrium oxide witnesses relatively higher demand due to its diverse applications and use in defense and electronic sectors. In the electronics sector, yttrium is used along with phosphor compounds for flat panel displays, and in the defense sector, yttrium is largely used for laser target designators with aluminum garnet composites. Yttrium is also used as a catalyst in polymer manufacturing.

Market Dynamics

Yttrium is consumed in high-temperature superconductors that have the potential to replace permanent magnets, especially in wind turbines. This shift could surge the demand for yttrium shortly. The market of yttrium and other rare earth elements is largely dependent on scientific and technological advancements. Hence, almost any progress might drive the market on an upward trajectory. Attributing to its excellent physical and chemical properties, its application in ceramics is likely to make an impact in niche markets as well.

It is said that yttrium has no other potential substitute and hence, the growth rate for this market is estimated to remain stable going forward. While yttrium oxide finds key applications in the phosphor market, the recent substitution of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) for LED displays is affecting its demand, leading to an oversupply and a subsequent decline in the prices. On the other hand, yttrium is expected to register high demand from its application in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YTZ).

Since most of the yttrium and yttrium oxide are found in China, yttrium has restricted international trade. In addition, the Government of China has many ongoing international issues based on the export and illegal mining of yttrium, which is compelling end users to seek new opportunities to meet supply shortages.

Currently, yttrium and its compounds are used in the treatment of cancer, especially liver cancer. They also serve as thermal barrier coatings in jet engines and their usage in this segment will continue to grow until a better and cheaper substitute originates. Thus, the global market of yttrium is expected to register noteworthy growth during the forecast period.

Regional Outlook

China is one of the leading producers of yttrium oxide and yttrium, followed by Australia, due to the availability of large rare earth metal reserves in the region. In the South East Asia and Pacific region, China has a comparatively larger consumer base for yttrium oxide. With China dominating the rare earth element market in Asia Pacific by up to 40%, the cost of yttrium across the globe is dependent on exports from China.

Strong growth in the electronics industry is pushing the demand for yttrium. The demand in Japan, South East Asia, and Asia Pacific is expected to be largely driven by the permanent magnet and metal alloys product segment. North America, Europe, and Latin America are also pegged to be significant markets due to the strong presence of the functional coatings markets in these regions.
