——产业结构不合理。冶炼分离产能严重过剩。稀土材料及器件研发滞后，在稀土新材料开发和终端应用技术方面与国际先进水平差距明显，拥有知识产权和新型稀土材料及器件生产加工技术较少，低端产品过剩，高端产品匮乏。稀土作为一个小行业，产业集中度低，企业众多，缺少具有核心竞争力的大型企业，行业自律性差，存在一定程度的恶性竞争。
——价格严重背离价值。一段时期以来，稀土价格没有真实反映其价值，长期低迷，资源的稀缺性没有得到合理体现，生态环境损失没有得到合理补偿。2010年下半年以来，虽然稀土产品价格逐步回归，但涨幅远低于黄金、铜、铁矿石等原材料产品。2000年至2010年，稀土价格上涨2.5倍，而黄金、铜、铁矿石价格同期则分别上涨4.4、4.1、4.8倍。
- Irrational industrial structure. China's rare earth industry has huge over-capacity in smelting and separating. On the other hand, the research and development of rare earth materials and components is lagging behind, its level of rare earth new materials development and end-product application technologies is significantly lower than the advanced international level, and the IPR ownership, and the production and processing technologies of new-type rare earth materials and components are relatively small in number. As a result, low-end products overflow while high-end products are in short supply. China' s rare earth metals industry, relatively small in scale, features a low concentration rate with numerous businesses, but lacks large enterprises with core competitiveness. Self-discipline in the industry is also weak, and vicious competition exists to some extent.
- Severe divergence between price and value. Over quite a long period of time, the price of rare earth products has remained low and failed to reflect their value, the scarcity of the resources has not been appropriately represented, and the damage to the ecological environment has not been properly compensated for. Since the second half of 2010, despite the gradual rise in the price of rare earth products, the rise has been much lower than that in the price rise of other raw materials like gold, copper and iron ore. From 2000 to 2010, the price of rare earth products rose by 2.5-fold, while that of gold, copper and iron ore increased by 4.4-, 4.1-, and 4.8-fold during the same period, respectively.
