Since the promulgation of the "Several Opinions" in 2011, the rare earth industry has made positive progress in resource protection, industrial structure adjustment, application industry development, innovation capability improvement, and management system construction, and the quality of industry development has reached a new level.
 
1. A breakthrough has been made in the adjustment of industrial structure. First, the industrial concentration has been greatly improved. The number of rare earth smelting and separation enterprises has been reduced from 99 to 59, and the pattern of 6 rare earth groups dominating the market has initially formed, integrating 22 of the 23 rare earth mines and 54 of the 59 smelting and separation enterprises in the country, reversing the "many, Small and scattered, the smelting and separation capacity has been reduced from 400,000 tons to 300,000 tons. The second is to further optimize the product structure. The industrial structure dominated by resource mining, smelting and separation, and primary product processing has accelerated to a direction dominated by mid-to-high-end materials and applied products. More than 80% of primary processed products are used to manufacture magnetism, catalysis, hydrogen storage, luminescence, Polishing and other functional materials. Third, the industrial layout tends to be reasonable. Build rare earth resource mining, smelting and separation bases in Baotou, Ganzhou, Liangshan, Longyan, etc. around resource areas, with production capacity accounting for more than 90% and 60% of the country respectively; build rare earth application industrial bases in Ningbo, Xiamen, Chengdu, Baotou, etc. around consumer markets, rare earth magnetic The industrial scale of catalysis, luminescent materials accounted for more than 70%, 50%, and 45% of the country respectively.

Third, the level of environmental protection has been significantly improved. The entire industry has invested more than 8 billion yuan in environmental protection transformation. 85 enterprises have passed the rare earth environmental protection inspection, and 45 enterprises have passed the access to the rare earth industry. The level of green production of rare earth has been greatly improved.
 
4. The industry management system is basically sound. One is to improve the industry management institutions. An inter-ministerial coordination mechanism for rare metals led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was established, a rare earth office was established, and the China Rare Earth Industry Association was established; local rare earth offices and corresponding coordination agencies were established in major rare earth producing areas. The second is to formulate an industry management system. Management systems such as the total control plan for rare earth mining and production, industry norms, environmental protection inspections, special value-added tax invoices, resource taxes, strategic reserves, and special fiscal projects for industrial adjustment and upgrading have been introduced and implemented. The third is that local regulatory responsibilities have been implemented, and Ganzhou, Jiangxi, Longyan, Fujian and other places have established city, county and township network management systems. Fourth, a relatively complete rare earth technology standard system has been established, covering the entire industrial chain of rare earth mining, smelting, separation, and processing. The standards are implemented in conjunction with relevant national policies, effectively regulating rare earth production and trade activities.
 
5. Rare earth violations of laws and regulations have been curbed. The first is to continue to crack down on rare earth violations. Relevant departments coordinated and cooperated to carry out several special campaigns to crack down on violations of laws and regulations in the rare earth industry. A total of 113 cases of violations of laws and regulations were investigated and dealt with, 14 illegal mining sites were destroyed, 28 production enterprises were shut down, 19 trading enterprises were punished, and illegal and smuggling were seized. More than 36,000 tons of rare earth mineral products were fined 230 million yuan. Second, the Baiyun Obo mining area and tailings pond in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia have achieved fully enclosed management; key resource areas such as Ganzhou in Jiangxi Province and Liangshan in Sichuan Province have built rare earth mining area protection facilities and mining supervision systems. The third is to build a traceability system for rare earth products. In accordance with the requirements of the "Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of the Traceability System for Important Products" (Guobanfa [2015] No. 95), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has carried out the construction of a traceability system for rare earth products to realize the separation from rare earth mining and smelting (including Comprehensive utilization of resources) to product traceability management in the whole process of circulation and export.
 
       At present, there are still some problems in the development of my country's rare earth industry, which are mainly manifested in: resource protection still needs to be strengthened, problems such as private mining and illegal mining, trading and processing of illegal rare earth mineral products, and illegal production occur from time to time; continuous innovation ability is not strong, and core patents are controlled by others , the overall strength of basic research needs to be improved; structural contradictions are still prominent, the upstream smelting and separation capacity is overcapacity, the downstream high-end application products are relatively insufficient, and the application of elements is unbalanced; the relevant legal system is still incomplete, and some local governments have not yet fully fulfilled their regulatory responsibilities.
 
(2) Facing the situation
The "13th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period for the transformation and upgrading of the rare earth industry and the improvement of development quality and efficiency. On the whole, the opportunities for the development of my country's rare earth industry outweigh the challenges.
 
       Main opportunities for development: First, the strategic position of rare earth is more prominent. Major industrialized countries attach great importance to the strategic value of rare earths and the development and application of related fields. With the continuous deepening of the world's technological revolution and industrial transformation, its strategic position and role will be further highlighted. Second, the sustainable development strategy creates new space for industrial development. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the "Beautiful China" strategy, promoting the construction of ecological civilization from the national level as a whole, and realizing green, circular and low-carbon development. Rare earths have broad application prospects in the fields of energy saving and environmental protection, and the market demand will increase significantly. Third, "Made in China 2025" has injected new momentum into the development of the rare earth industry.

Fourth, a diversified pattern of rare earth supply has basically taken shape. Key resource countries such as the United States, Australia, Canada, Russia, South Africa, Chile, and Brazil have launched a number of rare earth resource development projects, initially formed mining and separation processing capabilities, and eased the pressure on my country's resource supply.
 
       The main challenges faced: First, the production capacity of rare earth primary products is excessive, illegal mining and illegal production have been banned repeatedly, resulting in low prices of rare earth products, which do not reflect the value of scarce resources. It is urgent to further standardize the industry order, strictly control the increase, and optimize the processing of rare earth primary products stock, and eliminate outdated production capacity. Second, my country's rare earth industry as a whole is at the middle and low end of the world's rare earth industry chain. There is still a large gap between high-end materials and devices and advanced countries, lack of independent intellectual property rights technology, and the industry as a whole needs to be driven by low-cost resources and factor inputs, and to expand new industries. Innovation-driven transformation of technology, new products and effective supply, optimize the industrial structure, and focus on the development of rare earth high-end materials and device industries. The third is that the level of clean production cannot meet the requirements of the national ecological civilization construction. The pressure of safety and environmental protection and the constraints of factor costs in the development of the industry are becoming increasingly prominent. The tasks of supply-side structural reform, quality improvement and efficiency improvement, and green and sustainable development are arduous.
