The outlook for rare earths is supported by strong supply and demand fundamentals as the world heads into a new economic era with a focus on clean energy and technological advancements.

But with supply chain worries rising, it’s worth knowing which countries have the highest rare earths reserves. Many of the world’s major rare earths producers have large reserves, but some countries with high reserves have low output.

Case in point — mines in Brazil produced only 2,000 metric tons (MT) of rare earth elements in 2025, but Brazil’s rare earths reserves are the second highest in the world. Countries like this could become bigger players in the space in the future.
