Africa has significant unexploited nickel deposits due to the capital-intensive nature of nickel mining, an unfavourable investment climate, and long periods between constructing and commissioning mines. Southern Africa is the largest nickel producing region in Sub-Saharan Africa. This research provides detailed and up-to-date market intelligence on production and investment trends in the nickel mining industry in Southern Africa (2006-2018). South Africa, Botswana, and Zambia are the major producers and mainly sell to international markets in Japan, China, and India. Large-scale development projects in Madagascar and Tanzania will consolidate Southern Africa's position as a key nickel producing region in Sub-Saharan Africa.
