Rare earth supply crunch: Over 21,000 jobs in India's audio electronics sector at risk due to China curbs, says Elcina report

More than 21,000 jobs in India's audio electronics sector are at risk due to China's curbs on the export of rare earth metals, industry body Elcina has said in a report shared with the government. In April, China implemented stricter licensing rules on the export of key rare earth elements like terbium and dysprosium, which are essential for making Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnets — widely used in consumer electronics such as hearables, wearables, and speakers. The Electronics Industries Association of India (Elcina) said the move has disrupted supply chains globally and is severely affecting India's fast-growing wearables and hearables market, forcing many manufacturers to switch to importing fully assembled speaker modules from China, PTI reported. 'This creates a regressive trend — from component manufacturing back to finished good imports dependency. Over 5,000–6,000 direct jobs and 15,000 indirect jobs are at risk in speaker and audio component manufacturing, especially in Noida and South India,' Elcina noted. India dependent on China for NdFeB magnets Rare earth magnets make up 5–7% of the bill of materials, and India imports nearly 100% of its NdFeB magnet requirement, with China accounting for 90% of those imports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Born 1939-1969 Receive 9 Benefits This Month Bettys Perks Learn More Undo Prices for Chinese magnets have surged amid tightened supply and administrative delays, while alternatives from Japan, the EU and the US are 2–3 times costlier and lack adequate capacity. Electronics manufacturer Videotex, which produces televisions for brands such as Havells (Lloyd), Reliance (BPL, Reconnect), Toshiba, and Vijay Sales, said the situation poses challenges, but the immediate impact on TV production is expected to be limited. 'Rare earth-based magnets are critical in TV manufacturing, particularly for speakers due to their compact size and high performance. However, we are working closely with our suppliers to ensure sufficient stock for the upcoming season,' said Arjun Bajaj, Director of Videotex. He added that Videotex is also exploring alternative magnet options like ferrite, which come with acceptable performance trade-offs, and stressed that this disruption highlights the need for long-term strategies to localise and diversify sourcing. Elcina urges government action Elcina has urged the government to begin government-to-government (G2G) talks with China, seek industry-specific exemptions, and boost domestic R&D and manufacturing under the electronics component manufacturing scheme. It also recommended that the government consider a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for critical minerals, to reduce India's reliance on China and ensure the resilience of its electronics supply chain.

Agrochem market may hit $14.5 bn by FY28; herbicide exports jump; sector set for 9% CAGR: Report

India's agrochemicals industry is forecast to grow to $14.5 billion by 2027-28, clocking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9 per cent, even as global headwinds persist, Rubix Data Sciences said in its latest outlook. The research firm pegs the current market size at $11.2 billion for 2024-25, up 8.7 per cent year-on-year despite a tough external environment marked by inventory destocking, aggressive Chinese price competition and muted demand in key export destinations. Agrochemical exports fell 22 per cent in FY 24 for the reasons above. Rubix, however, expects a 'moderate recovery' in 2024-25 as global supply chains stabilise and Indian players leverage their cost competitiveness. Herbicides outpace other segments A standout trend is the surge in herbicide shipments, which logged a 20 per cent CAGR between FY 20 and FY 25, lifting their share of total agrochemical exports from 31 per cent to 37 per cent. Rising farm-labour costs worldwide and India's ability to deliver affordable crop-protection solutions are driving demand. Japan has edged past Brazil as the second-largest buyer of Indian herbicides, while the United States and Brazil remain the top markets for insecticides and fungicides. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Sector resilient, adapting fast' 'The drop in agrochemical exports over the past year has definitely been a setback, but it's also part of a larger global reset,' said Mohan Ramaswamy, co-founder and CEO, Rubix Data Sciences. 'What we are seeing now is Indian manufacturers adapting fast, whether it's by improving cost efficiency, diversifying portfolios, or tapping into new markets. The sector is resilient, and we believe the recovery under way will be steady and sustainable. At Rubix, we are committed to helping businesses make sense of these shifts through data-led insights that support smarter decisions and long-term growth,' he added. Rubix believes the combination of cost-competitive manufacturing, product diversification and new-market penetration will help the industry navigate global challenges and sustain momentum towards the $14.5-billion mark.
