Rare Earth Reserves
Statista's bar chart drew 15.7K views on X: 0.8x its typical post and #26 of 34 Statista charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
The global distribution of rare earth reserves is highly concentrated. China holds about 49% (44 Mt REO) in 2026, far ahead of Brazil (23%, 21 Mt) and India (8%, 7.2 Mt), according to the IEA’s Rare Earth Elements 2026 report.
Why it spread
The post spread because it paired a hot topic that week with an independent author, reaching 15,717 views, 247 likes, 91 reposts, 9 quotes and 72 saves.
What worked
- It led with a clear concentration story, naming China at about 49 percent, Brazil at 23 percent and India at 8 percent.
- It gave concrete reserve figures in millions of tonnes alongside the shares, so readers could see both scale and ranking.
- It credited a named source, the IEA Rare Earth Elements 2026 report, which added authority to a simple comparison.
What to borrow
We could frame our own chart around one dominant share versus the next few players, state the source in the post text, and keep the headline number in the first line.
Careful
Do not assume the same result from the format alone, since the spread also depended on a hot topic that week and an independent author, and the quote rate was only above average.
