FICTIONAL SCENARIO — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A FORECAST. Probability fields are source-authored analytical estimates, not calibrated forecasts and not additive. Consequence scores are comparison aids, not expected casualties, financial losses, or site rankings. Coordinates are broad centroids, not target locations.

Critical-mineral export controls cause strategic manufacturing shortages — 2030 outlook

In 2030, the modeled trigger or precursor is: a major supplier restricts exports or licensing of processed minerals, magnets or precursor materials during a political dispute. Because production and processing are concentrated, modest restrictions create outsized uncertainty and inventory hoarding. Shortages affect batteries, electronics, renewable power and defense manufacturing. By the early 2030s, trade blocs, critical-mineral competition and electricity-demand growth make shocks more persistent and politically charged. The annual probability is an approximate analytical estimate of 32.2% (Elevated), with consequence magnitude 4/5. This row is a plausible, overlapping scenario—not a prediction.

Workbook formula: probability ÷ 100 × magnitude × 20. It is a comparison aid only. Scenario probabilities overlap and must not be summed.

Scenario premise

a major supplier restricts exports or licensing of processed minerals, magnets or precursor materials during a political dispute.

Named actor classes

producer governments; mining and refining firms; battery, defense and electronics manufacturers; importing states

Warning indicators

licensing changes; customs slowdowns; diplomatic threats; stockpiling; widening regional price gaps; new state purchasing mandates

Indicators are planning prompts, not proof that the scenario is occurring and not a monitoring or targeting instruction.

Key uncertainties

size of inventories, technical substitutability and whether allied producers can coordinate investment and processing standards

ILLUSTRATIVE CONSEQUENCE PATH — NOT A PREDICTION

Conditional consequence sequence

  1. 0–30 days

    If this scenario occurs in 2030: Prices jump, customs delays spread and firms draw inventories. Governments fast-track exemptions, stockpile releases and diplomatic engagement.

  2. 1–3 years

    During 2031–2033: Recycling, substitution and new mines receive funding, but permitting and technical constraints limit rapid relief. Trade disputes expand to downstream products.

  3. 4–10 years

    Across 2034–2040: Supply chains diversify and become more expensive. Resource-rich states gain bargaining power, while environmental and community conflicts around new extraction intensify.

Ten-year track: E015

The workbook annualizes the same scenario family once per year so readers can compare how its assumptions and numerical estimates change. This is not a time-series forecast.
