Dysprosium Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Germany held the top of the four markets we track for the dysprosium through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 365/KG, down 4.5% from the USD 382 in Q1 as the market pulled back from its early-year peak. Worldwide, the average eased to a value of USD 304/KG in Q2 2026, a fall of a 4.1% percent from the Q1 figure of USD 317, the off-season magnet demand softening the run.

The dysprosium is a heavy rare earth, refined from the ion-adsorption clay and the xenotime concentrate and traded mostly as the oxide. Its main home is the neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet, where a small addition holds the magnet strong at the high temperatures of the electric-vehicle motors and the wind-turbine generators. That magnet pull sets almost the whole of the demand.

Two things move the dysprosium price the most: the tight, China-led supply and the export-licensing spread, and the permanent-magnet demand cycle from the electric vehicles and the wind power. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 285 to 330/KG looks likely worldwide, with the tight supply holding a firm floor even through the demand off-season.

Dysprosium Price Forecast for 2026

Supply stays tight through the H2 2026, with the China-led production and the export licensing setting the direction. The magnet demand ran into a seasonal soft patch through the mid-year, which pulled the prices off their early-2026 peak, but the structural tightness holds a firm floor. China keeps the lowest domestic price, while the United States and the Germany track well above on the export-licensing spread and the freight.

The market sits set for a firm and a volatile move, the way the tight heavy rare earths trade. The bigger question for the buyers is the China export policy and the pace of the Western supply build-out, since those set the spread between the domestic and the delivered prices.

What could push the prices higher? A tightening of the China export licences, or a faster magnet-demand pickup. What could pull them lower? A softer electric-vehicle season, or the new Western separation capacity easing the tightness.
