Critical minerals in China - statistics & facts
China is a key player in the global critical minerals industry. The country is not only an important producer of many critical raw materials but has also a strong foothold in the downstream processing and manufacturing industry. Critical minerals are important for high-tech products and clean technologies, and their demand is expected to rise significantly in the upcoming decades. As new mining and processing projects need a comparatively long time to go into operation, China will most likely retain an advantageous position in the global industry.
