The europium market (Europium-Markt) is expected to reach a valuation of USD 246.6 million by 2024, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2034. This sustained growth reflects increasing demand for the rare earth metal, driven by its critical applications in electronics, lighting, and phosphorescent materials. By 2034, global sales of europium are anticipated to rise to USD 418.5 million, underscoring its importance in advanced technologies and clean energy solutions.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to remain the primary consumer of this rare metal, fueled by its robust manufacturing base and rising demand for electronics and green technologies. India is expected to lead the industry with a predicted CAGR of 8.1% through 2034, while China closely follows with an estimated CAGR of 6.1% until 2034.
Phosphors continue to be the leading application in the industry due to their use in color displays for monitors, mobile devices, and televisions. In 2024, phosphors accounted for a value share of 24.4%. Lighting dominated the industry based on end-use, holding a market share of 26.3% in 2024.
Increasing demand for wearables, smartphones, and smart televisions in developing countries is expected to drive the consumer electronics industry, consequently benefiting the need for this rare metal. The use of europium-based phosphors to enhance the color rendering and brightness of light sources such as fluorescent lamps and LED lights contributes to the high demand for rare metals in everyday life.
The industry’s growth is also being driven by rising demand for energy-efficient lighting and advancements in display technology. Europium is being explored for use in both established and new applications, including lasers, nuclear applications, and biotechnologies, which are expected to augment demand in the near future.
However, meeting the rising demand may pose challenges due to the concentration of rare earth metals supply chain in a few countries, particularly in China. Trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions may result in price volatility and supply shortages.
