Fusion42 · 14 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

Yttrium, a critical metal mostly supplied by China, has become a geopolitical flashpoint due to China's export controls disrupting supply to the U.S., impacting aerospace, energy, and semiconductor sectors.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

China's control of yttrium supply directly blocks your access to critical materials and forces urgent diversification of supply chains or substitution strategies in aerospace and chipmaking. Act now to secure alternative sources or risk costly production halts.
