# Nickel — who supplies the world World nickel mine production: 3.9 Mt in the 2025 USGS estimate. Indonesia leads with 67%; the top three hold 79%. Every producer's sourced share. Canonical: https://terralore.co/commodities/nickel Updated: 2026-08-14 (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries edition) What is measured: the MCS statistics row "Mine production" — mine production in tonnes, what left mines in each calendar year. Not reserves in the ground, and not refined or smelted output. 2025 is the USGS estimate; 2024 is the reported figure. World total: 3.9 Mt (2025 est.) · 3.7 Mt (2024). Shares are computed against the published world total itself, never against the sum of listed producers. ## Producers (9 listed) | Rank | Nation | 2024 | 2025 est. | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | Indonesia | 2.3 Mt · 62% | 2.6 Mt · 67% | | 2 | Philippines | 354 kt · 9.5% | 270 kt · 6.9% | | 3 | Russia | 205 kt · 5.5% | 200 kt · 5.1% | | 4 | Canada | 125 kt · 3.4% | 140 kt · 3.6% | | 5 | New Caledonia | 116 kt · 3.1% | 140 kt · 3.6% | | 6 | China | 115 kt · 3.1% | 120 kt · 3.1% | | 7 | Brazil | 67.5 kt · 1.8% | 70.0 kt · 1.8% | | 8 | Australia | 98.0 kt · 2.6% | 45.0 kt · 1.2% | | 9 | United States | 7,490 t · 0.20% | 10.0 kt · 0.26% | | — | Rest of world | 312 kt · 8.4% | 305 kt · 7.8% | Rest of world is the published world total minus the producers listed: the MCS "Other countries" aggregate, withheld figures, and production this atlas does not file under a separate entity.
