In 2024, Japan continued to heavily rely on imports of rare earth metals, with Vietnam, China, Thailand, Philippines, and the USA being the top exporting countries. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating concentration, the industry saw steady growth with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.11% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a significant decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -26.28%, highlighting potential shifts in the market dynamics and the need for further analysis to understand the changing landscape of rare earth metals imports in Japan.
