Applications of nickel in industry mainly include the production of alloys (e.g. stainless steel), as well as applications in cathode material precursors for ternary lithium batteries. According to the publisher's analysis, China's new energy vehicle market has been developing rapidly in recent years, so the demand for nickel in the Chinese market is also rising rapidly. Since China's local nickel resources are limited, China needs to import a large amount of nickel ore every year.

In 2021, China imported 43.519 million tons of nickel ore and concentrates (""nickel ore"", the same below), up 10.9% year-on-year, and the import value was US$4.42 billion, up 51.0% year-on-year. According to the publisher's analysis, in the first three quarters of 2022, China imported 28.465 million tons of nickel ore, down 14.1% year-on-year, with an import value of US$3.43 billion, up 5.1% year-on-year.

The average price of China's nickel ore imports increased continuously in 2018-2022. The average price of China's nickel ore imports increased less in 2018-2020, remaining in the price range of US$63-75 per ton. The average price of China's nickel ore imports in 2021 was US$101.6 per ton, an increase of 36.2% y-o-y. The near average price of China's nickel ore imports in the first three quarters of 2022 was US$120.4 per ton, up 22.4% year-on-year.

In 2021, China imported nickel ore from 21 countries or regions. According to the publisher's analysis, China's major sources of nickel ore imports by import volume are the Philippines, New Caledonia and Indonesia. Among them, the Philippines is China's largest source of nickel ore imports. 2021, China imports 39.01.0 million tons of nickel ore from the Philippines, accounting for 89.6% of the total import volume and US$3.0 billion, accounting for 67.9% of the total import value.

China is the world's largest nickel consumer, but China's local nickel ore resources are scarce and nickel ore is highly dependent on imports. With the recovery of China's stainless-steel industry and the rapid development of new energy sector, the demand for nickel from downstream industries is expanding, and the publisher expects that China will still import a large amount of nickel ore every year from 2023-2032.

Methodology

Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.

Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.

Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.

The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.

The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.

1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
5. Inside and outside the industry, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, show inner competitions
6. Proper estimation of the future is good guidance for strategic planning.
