The looming critical minerals supply gap isn't just about how much the world can produce. It's about which parts of your business can't afford an interruption. With demand for key minerals projected to exceed forecast supply through 2040, BCG outlines how CEOs can uncover hidden exposure and strengthen resilience.

Could your company be overlooking a major funding opportunity? Billions in public financing have been committed to securing critical mineral supplies. Yet companies may be missing opportunities because they haven't fully identified their supply chain vulnerabilities. New BCG research explores how understanding that exposure can help companies build a credible case for accessing public capital.

One industrial company uncovered $5 billion in value at risk from hidden critical mineral dependencies. None of this exposure had appeared in its procurement data. What might your company be missing? New BCG research explores where these risks hide and how CEOs can address them.
