Indonesia nickel supply chain in 2025 shows significant volatility, influenced by nickel ore export policies and strong demand from the EV battery industry.
Indonesia is the largest nickel producer in the world, accounting for about 37% of global production. The Indonesian government has imposed a ban on raw nickel ore exports to encourage domestic processing.
Nickel demand from the EV battery and stainless steel industries continues to grow, creating major investment opportunities for nickel mining and processing companies in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
