多年(nian)(nian)(nian)來，北方稀土(tu)堅持“做精做細稀土(tu)原料(liao)(liao)，做強(qiang)做優稀土(tu)材料(liao)(liao)，做大下游終(zhong)端(duan)應用(yong)產(chan)(chan)品”的(de)發展思(si)路，可生產(chan)(chan)各類稀土(tu)產(chan)(chan)品共(gong)(gong)11個大類、50余種、近千個規格。目前，公司冶煉分離產(chan)(chan)能(neng)8萬(wan)(wan)(wan)噸(dun)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)、稀土(tu)金屬產(chan)(chan)能(neng)1萬(wan)(wan)(wan)噸(dun)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)；稀土(tu)功能(neng)材料(liao)(liao)中(zhong)磁性材料(liao)(liao)合金3萬(wan)(wan)(wan)噸(dun)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)；拋光材料(liao)(liao)產(chan)(chan)能(neng)14000噸(dun)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)、貯氫(qing)合金3000噸(dun)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)，占(zhan)據國內市場份額半數以(yi)上；發光材料(liao)(liao)1000噸(dun)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)。在稀土(tu)應用(yong)產(chan)(chan)品領域，已建成年(nian)(nian)(nian)產(chan)(chan)100臺稀土(tu)永磁磁共(gong)(gong)振成像(xiang)儀生產(chan)(chan)基地，混(hun)合汽車用(yong)圓形鎳氫(qing)動力(li)(li)電池100萬(wan)(wan)(wan)只(zhi)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)能(neng)力(li)(li)，LED封裝60億顆(ke)/年(nian)(nian)(nian)。
近年(nian)來，北方稀土下游產(chan)品銷(xiao)售收入占比(bi)逐年(nian)增(zeng)加(jia)，稀土功能材料(liao)及(ji)其延伸產(chan)品的銷(xiao)售收入占比(bi)超過30%，產(chan)業(ye)結構不斷優化，初步(bu)構建(jian)起(qi)由規模速度型粗放增(zeng)長向質量效益型集約增(zeng)長轉變(bian)的企(qi)業(ye)發(fa)展新模式(shi)。
