Indonesia — critical-material dependency

Indonesia imports 32 of the 32 critical materials this atlas tracks ($3.8B). Its most supplier-concentrated dependence is magnesium, unwrought (100% from China); 12 of those imports come mainly from China.

supplier ≠ the lead miner
How to read this. Each row is where Indonesia imports a material from — the immediate customs origin, sorted by single-supplier concentration. marks a top source that is also the material's lead miner (a genuine origin); without it, the supplier is a refiner or hub and the real mine sits further upstream (open the material's profile to see where).

Import-vulnerability index (14/100). A value-weighted average, across Indonesia’s imports, of each material’s supply-risk index × how concentrated Indonesia’s own sourcing of it is. High when it buys intrinsically risky materials from a single supplier; lower when it diversifies. The risk column below is the material’s own score — multiply it by the country’s share to see where Indonesia is most exposed.
