The Periodic Table of Global Element Sourcing
From the copper in a circuit board to the neodymium in a motor magnet, almost everything that moves through global trade starts as a handful of elements pulled from specific corners of the earth. Tap any element to see where it primarily comes from today.
About this data.
"Primary source" reflects the country that leads mine or industrial production of each element today, based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries and other public production reporting.
Figures are approximate, shift with market and geopolitical conditions, and most elements are also produced in smaller volumes elsewhere. Elements with no natural or commercial production — mainly synthetic and highly radioactive elements — are marked accordingly.
