This paper elaborates the characteristics of scandium resource viewing from industrial chain. Recent discoveries of scandium deposit belong to laterite deposit, which is a vital type for future scandium resource and needs more attention from governments and mining companies. Constraints in blocking scandium rapid development lie in limited sources, insufficient supply leading to expensive prices. Scandium companies shall develop effective extracting scandium technology from laterite deposits, reduce production costs, which can ensure a steady supply of scandium. As it production capacity grows, the down-stream companies should develop the three pillar scandium industries in Al-Sc alloy, solid fuel battery and Sc-Na lamp, especially in the civil application of Al-Sc alloy and other applications. Economic profits shall be highlighted along with green, circular economy and boosting recycling scandium resource and environmental protection.
