According to CTIA GROUP LTD, the price trends of mainstream light and heavy rare earth products in China for August 2025 showed slight variations. In the first half of the month, influenced by weak downstream demand and strong reluctance among suppliers to sell due to bullish expectations, praseodymium-neodymium prices fluctuated within a narrow range. In contrast, dysprosium-terbium series products experienced a downward oscillatory trend, primarily due to limited purchasing power from buyers facing tight funding and insufficient confidence among holders to maintain prices. In the latter half of the month, with the approach of the traditional "Golden September and Silver October" consumption peak season, magnetic material companies showed increased enthusiasm for inquiries and procurement. Simultaneously, continuous positive industry news and strong market speculation jointly drove a significant rise in praseodymium-neodymium prices. Under this ripple effect, the prices of neodymium-iron-boron blanks and dysprosium-terbium products also rose accordingly.
In August, the price of praseodymium oxide increased by approximately 106,000 yuan per ton, a rise of 19.49%; the price of neodymium oxide increased by 109,000 yuan per ton, a rise of 20.34%; the price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide increased by 78,000 yuan per ton, a rise of 14.72%; and the price of praseodymium-neodymium metal increased by 105,000 yuan per ton, a rise of 16.28%.
