Source:Roskill Japanese demand for rare earths rose by 7% to 18,816t REO in 2017, the fourth consecutive annual increase. Demand for lanthanum rose by 6%to 2,090t, reflecting higher use in ferrite magnets and FCC catalysts. The 11%increase in demand for cerium (to 6,450t) was due to strong demand in autocatalysts and glass polishing materials. Japanese autocatalyst production rose by 14%to 11,325t in 2017.
