Abstract

In this study, the domestic supply & demand of the raw materials of 35 rare metals was analyzed categorized as four types - ores, metals, compounds and scraps. Foreign trade volumes of the raw materials of rare metals have been steadily increased, furthermore, recently trade growth rate highly exceeds GDP. The raw materials of rare metals - silicon, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, etc. - for steel industry were the most big part of the raw materials of rare metals trade, while the raw materials of rare metals for electronics industry were imported relatively small volumes less than $100 million. However systematic supply & demand management on the raw materials of rare metals for electronics industry is needed since recently growth rate per year has been remarkably high over 20%. Import volumes were about three times bigger than export scale, and most of the raw materials of rare metals were traded as a metal form.

본 연구는 35여종의 희유금속을 대상으로 광석(정광), 금속, 화합물, 스크랩 등 4개 유형으로 광종별 원재료를 범주화하고 교역 구조를 분석하였다. 우리나라 희유금속원재료 교역 규모는 점차 확대되어 교역 증가폭이 GDP 증가폭을 큰 폭으로 상회하고 있다. 희유금속 원재료는 실리콘, 니켈, 크롬, 몰리브덴, 망간 등 철강원료자원 위주로 수입이 주로 이루어지고 있으며 전자공업원료자원 중 인듐, 게르마늄 등은 총교역규모 1억불 이하의 작은 규모로 수입추이변화에 미치는 영향은 제한적이나 연간증가율이 20%를 상회하여 지속적인 수급관리가 필요하다. 수입규모는 수출규모의 약 3배이며 희유금속 원재료 수출입 유형은 국내산업구조 및 수요의 특성에 따라 광종별로 다양한 양상을 보이고 있으나 수입, 수출 모두 상당수가 금속형태로 교역이 이루어지고 있다.
