Indonesia’s export ban can boost nickel exports from the Philippines to China, says GlobalData
Nickel is mined from many sources around the world and is presently used for stainless steel, nonferrous alloys, electroplating, alloy steel, and foundries. It is a diverse metal that can be manipulated for many purposes and a popular commodity globally. GlobalData’s report outlines the nickel mining market in the Philippines to 2023.
New regulations hold promise for the Philippines nickel mining market
The Philippines is the second largest producer of nickel worldwide, coming in behind Indonesia. Philippines nickel accounted for 16% global production in 2018. However, since 2016 the Philippines nickel industry has struggled due to the introduction of regulatory measures, leading to a fall in production of 28.5%. GlobalData’s ‘Nickel Mining in the Philippines to 2023’ explores this theme and how a new ban on exports by Indonesian government could allow the Philippines to export more nickel to China. The Philippines nickel market looks to grow 3% to 355kt in 2019, and to 381.4kt by 2023.
