Critical Materials Atlas
Reference · by country

Dependency by country

Where each major economy sources its critical materials — and how exposed it is. The import-vulnerability index (0–100) value-weights each material’s supply-risk by how concentrated the country’s sourcing of it is. Ranked most-exposed first.

The index measures the vulnerability of a country's sourcing — risky materials bought from few suppliers — not its economic size or systemic importance. A small economy buying from single suppliers can therefore rank above a large, diversified one.
