Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With a very positive outlook for its nickel market, Indonesia is encouraging the development of downstream facilities, such as smelters and refineries, for aluminum, copper and tin, which are also in high demand worldwide.
Demand for these base metals is expected to increase substantially in coming years, due to the growing use of electric vehicles (EVs) in Western countries. Indonesia believes state revenues from its downstream nickel industry could reach US$28.7 billion for 2022.
Industrial Info is tracking 102 smelter projects in Indonesia, totaling nearly US$19 billion in investment value, including 31 nickel projects worth US$5.86 billion.
