Indonesia Mining Sector Report 2026-2027

Indonesia's extensive mineral resources have established the country as a major player in global commodity markets. It is the world's largest producer of thermal coal and nickel, the second largest exporter of tin, while also ranking among the leading suppliers of bauxite, copper, zinc, lead and gold. In recent years, the government has pursued a strategic shift away from raw material exports toward the development of a comprehensive downstream processing industry aimed at capturing greater domestic value. In 2025, the mining and quarrying sector accounted for around 9% of GDP and some 17% of Indonesia's total exports. It is also a significant source of employment, supporting around 1.7mn jobs, with state-owned enterprises playing a central role in shaping and driving the sector.
