  Global automotive industry faces critical bottlenecks as China tightens grip on rare earth supply chain

  • 23 6月 2025

  The global automotive industry faces a critical challenge as China tightens its grip on rare earth magnets. According to Wood Mackenzie’s latest insight, there was a 51% drop in Chinese rare earth magnet exports in April 2025 compared to March, far exceeding seasonal norms. The sharp decline follows the introduction of new export restrictions in April, with Chinese government approving only around 25% of export licence applications submitted by automotive suppliers. Wood Mackenzie’s insight indicates that the restrictions have significantly disrupted the supply of these critical components for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid drivetrains, sending shockwaves through the global automotive supply chain.
