U.S. Critical Minerals Import Dependencies

The United States relies heavily on imports to meet its demand for critical minerals that are essential to national security, advanced manufacturing, and clean energy technologies. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. is 100% import-reliant for 12 critical minerals and over 50% import-dependent for more than two dozen others. This dependency poses risks to supply chain security, economic stability, and the energy transition.

  • China – Dominates global supply of rare earth elements and graphite.
  • South Africa & Russia – Major suppliers of platinum-group metals.
  • Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – Source of more than 60% of global cobalt.

Reducing import dependency through domestic mining, recycling, and allied partnerships is vital for U.S. technological leadership and energy independence.
