CM Group’s Indonesia Aluminium Value Chain Outlook Report delivers unparalleled insights into one of the fastest-growing aluminium hubs in the world. Built on over a decade of on-the-ground experience and countless trips across Indonesia’s bauxite and nickel regions, CM Group has developed deep connections with key players in the Indonesian mining sector. Our most recent, extensive fieldtrip to Bintan, Jakarta, and West Kalimantan at the end of 2024 allowed us to refresh and sharpen our understanding of the rapidly evolving aluminium value chain.

This comprehensive report is structured into three in-depth modules—bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminium smelting—giving you a complete picture of Indonesia’s strategic role in the global aluminium industry. With expert analysis, first-hand observations, and the latest market intelligence, it is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate opportunities, assess risks, and make informed decisions in this emerging powerhouse.
