India`s yttrium import market in 2024 continued to see significant concentration, with top exporters being China, USA, UK, South Korea, and Belgium. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) remained at a high level, indicating a consolidated market. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood impressively at 23.37%, showcasing robust demand. Although the growth rate slightly slowed in 2024 to 0.68%, the overall trend suggests a thriving market for yttrium imports in India.

India has emerged as the fourth-largest producer and consumer of yttrium after China, USA and Russia. The country is one of the major players in terms of reserves and production capacity for this rare earth element. Yttrium has a wide range of applications in industries such as defense & aerospace, electronics, automotive, healthcare etc. India is also amongst the top five nations in terms of import value for Yttrium products. Currently, India imports nearly 50% of its total yttrium requirements from China due to cheap prices and convenient transport options available between both countries.
Increasing demand for yttrium from various industries like defense & aerospace, electronics etc., which have fueled the growth prospects for India companies involved in extracting/ manufacturing these products. Additionally , recent advancements made by India organizations such as the ISRO (India Space Research Organisation) to develop space technology that requires high-grade Yttria materials are likely to drive further growth opportunities within this sector. Government initiatives such as Make In India campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi have encouraged many foreign investors towards investing into businesses relating to mining or manufacture of rare earth elements including Yttria material which can provide a great opportunity boost domestic economy through increased employment rate along with revenue generation among others benefits.
Availability of raw materials required for producing quality grade Ytterbium compounds remains an issue given limited reserve base existing within country forcing manufacturers rely heavily on imported sources from other countries like China leading increased cost pressure making it difficult compete globally against counterparts who may be able to access cheaper supplies.Lack skilled workforce qualified enough handle complicated processes that involve extraction refining process which require specific set skills not easily found locally thereby adding additional costs associated with bringing experts abroad thus hindering speed progress development projects associated with exploration new mines rich deposits or building production facilities.
The key players operating in India ytterbium market are Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., URAL Heavy Engineering Works Pvt Ltd., Orissa Minerals Development Company Limited (OMDC), Vedanta Resources PLC , Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL). These companies are engaged in exploring new mines rich deposits or building production facilities that will help meet growing demand domestically well internationally markets.
However, COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economic activities across many regions including India due to widespread lockdowns imposed by various governments around world to contain spread of virus infection. This has resulted into reduction of production capacity as well as supply chain disruptions leading to lower availability of raw materials & products along with decline in revenue from sales & exports making it difficult for companies operating within industry verticals reliant on complex global value chains such as electronics & automotive sector etc. Thus Covid-19 implications have impacted negatively on small & mid sized business entities operating within country thereby impacting their financial performance adversely resulting into slowdown or shut down operations thus hindering prospects for yttrium market development over short term outlook period 2025 onwards.
