According to a report by S&P Global, the geological distribution of rare earth elements is increasingly favoring China, which may have significant implications for global supply chains.
This shift in geological advantages could affect the competitive landscape, as countries with less favorable geology may struggle to develop their rare earth resources effectively.
The report suggests that these geological factors, combined with China's existing infrastructure and processing capabilities, may further entrench its position in the rare earth market.
