According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Laterite Nickel Ore market size was valued at US$ 4884 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 6454 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.0% during review period.
In 2025, global laterite nickel ore production reached 87.9 million wet tons, with an average selling price of US$54 per wet ton. Laterite nickel ore is a nickel ore resource formed by long-term weathering, leaching, and enrichment of ultramafic rocks in the hot and rainy environment of tropical and subtropical regions. It belongs to one of the two major types of nickel ore, the other being sulfide nickel ore. Laterite nickel ore is typically distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, with shallow, large-scale ore bodies and relatively low grades, and is commonly mined by open-pit mining. From a resource perspective, laterite nickel ore has become one of the core sources of global nickel supply. Laterite nickel ore is mainly used in stainless steel production, new energy battery material production, and also in nickel-based alloy manufacturing, electroplating coatings, and chemical nickel salt production. Gross profit margin ranges from approximately 15% to 30%.
