Countries by Nickel Mine Production 2024
About This Dataset
Countries by Nickel Mine Production 2024
Countries ranked by total nickel mine production in 2024, measured in thousands of metric tons according to the US Geological Survey. Indonesia has dramatically reshaped global nickel supply since 2014, when it banned exports of unprocessed ore — a policy that forced international investment into Indonesian processing facilities and pushed the country from a minor supplier to the world's dominant nickel producer within a decade, fundamentally altering supply chains for stainless steel and EV battery manufacturing.
Analysis
Indonesia (1,800), Philippines (330) and Russia (200) take the top three in Nickel Mine Production (Thousand Metric Tons) in 2024. Indonesia alone accounts for more than the other 7 entities combined: 1,800 against 1,200 Nickel Mine Production (Thousand Metric Tons). Below the top two the field is tightly packed: the remaining 6 run from 200 down to 80.
