Global Critical Minerals & Rare Earth Production Index by Country — 2024
About this data
Comprehensive multi-source dataset tracking production volumes, reserves, processing capacity, and supply chain risk metrics for 10 critical minerals across 54 countries. Minerals covered: lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earth oxides, natural graphite, copper, manganese, tungsten, vanadium, and gallium. Each country entry includes: production volumes (tonnes), known reserves, processing facility presence, export restriction scores (0-10 scale), mineral governance index (0-100), count of minerals produced, and a composite supply importance score weighted by strategic significance. Data compiled and normalized from: • USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024-2025 • British Geological Survey World Mineral Statistics • IEA Critical Minerals Market Review 2024 • European Commission Critical Raw Materials Assessment • S&P Global Market Intelligence Highly relevant for supply chain analysis, energy transition planning, geopolitical risk assessment, and ESG research. Not available as a single normalized dataset from any single source.
