The Indonesia Cobalt Market is likely to experience consistent growth rate gains over the period 2025 to 2029. The growth rate starts at 6.69% in 2025 and reaches 9.05% by 2029.
In the Asia region, the Cobalt market in Indonesia is projected to expand at a growing growth rate of 7.84% by 2027. The largest economy is China, followed by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea.
Indonesia is the world?s second-largest producer of cobalt, after the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The majority of Indonesia cobalt production comes from its nickel mining operations. According to the 6Wresearch, Indonesia accounted for 11% of global cobalt production with 15kt.
The demand for cobalt continues to rise driven by increased uptake in electric vehicle technology and battery energy storage applications. This has led to an increase in investment into Indonesia nickel mining operations as companies look to capitalize on this increased demand and secure access to a significant portion of global supply.
The increasing number of electric vehicles being sold around the world is expected to drive up demand for lithium-ion batteries which contain high amounts of cobalt, thus driving higher prices and demand for Cobalt ore mined directly from Indonesia. Additionally, strong government policy initiatives are providing incentives towards renewable energy solutions such as solar power and wind turbines that could also be contributing towards higher prices due their use in Lithium ion batteries used within these technologies respectively.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a drop in both domestic consumption and exports resulting from weak economic conditions globally which affected pricing across all commodities including Cobalt ore produced by Indonesia. In addition, travel restrictions have impeded exploration activities resulting further disruption within the market.
Both legal issues regarding land rights conflicts and environmental concerns related pollution arise when it comes exploitation or extraction processes involved with Cobalt mining operations primarily located rural areas.In addition, because much competition exists between foreign entities looking exploit resources more efficiently, local firms may struggle compete against larger multinationals who possess more capital invest developing technologies that increase efficiency while minimizing costs.
Major players operating in Indonesia cobalts sector include PT International Nickel Indonesia Tbk (INCO), Antam Resources International Pte Ltd., Freeport McMoRan Inc., Vale SA etc.
