All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Indonesia is a dominant player in the global nickel mining industry and has an abundance of both nickel and other minerals such as copper, bauxite, iron ore, coal, and gold. As of January 2021, the country had 21 million tonnes (Mt) of nickel reserves. With this, the country stood as the largest in terms of nickel reserves globally. The production in Indonesian nickel mining is expected to grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 2%.

The market growth has been enabled by the commencement of new projects over the period, including the Aquila Nickel, PT Tekonindo mine and East Halmahera FeNi projects. The government is encouraging the development of projects with high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) technology to extract nickel and bauxite from laterite ore bodies, and these developments are expected to support the growth in mine output. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, global nickel production has grown in 2020 mainly due to the contribution of the major producers and importers.

What are the Indonesian nickel mining market dynamics?

The Indonesian government is found encouraging the development of projects with high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) technology to extract nickel and bauxite from laterite ore bodies, and these developments are expected to support the growth in mine output. Amongst various developments, in March 2021, Silkroad Nickel Ltd entered into a $90mn new offtake agreement with PT Ekasa Yad Resources, to supply an aggregate of more than 2Mt of high-grade nickel ore starting from March 2021 to December 2022.

Indonesia’s ban on nickel ore exports, coupled with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, majorly affected nickel production in 2020. In January 2020, the Indonesian Government amended nickel ore export regulations to boost the expansion of the domestic smelting industry and advanced the ban on nickel ore exports, which was otherwise scheduled from 2022.

The ban affected the nickel miners without integrated nickel pig iron (NPI) operations, as they have to sell their ore to domestic smelters at a low price. In April 2020, the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (APNI) appealed to the government to end the export ban, in order to lessen the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on processed nickel exports, but this was rejected by the Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment.

What is the categorization of Indonesian nickel mining assets?

The nickel mines are categorized into active mines, development projects and exploration projects, further categorized according to their mining stages along with additional information as total resources, equity owners etc. The market is also categorized into applications of nickel in the automobile industry, construction industry, and others.

The pandemic had a significant impact over major automobile producing countries, including the Northern American region, Japan, Western European countries, and India. This also resulted in the drop of demand for nickel which recovered by Q1 2021. Indonesia remained the biggest consumer for nickel for both automobile and construction industries.

Who are the major players in the Indonesian nickel mining market?

PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) and PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (PT Vale) are the two largest nickel producers in Indonesia.

The PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) or INALUM, is a sole producer of aluminum ingots in Indonesia. The company operates nickel, gold, and bauxite mining in Indonesia through its 65% owned ANTAM, which is an export-oriented, diversified metals and mining company. It is involved in almost all activities across the mining supply chain, starting from exploration, development, mining, and processing to the marketing of nickel ore, ferronickel, gold, silver, bauxite, and coal.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
