Abstract

Indonesia’s nickel industry has become central to global supply chains for stainless steel and electric vehicle batteries, yet its rapid expansion has exposed structural vulnerabilities in sustainability and resilience. This paper presents a systematic literature review (2014–2024) and policy analysis to examine how industrial chain resilience can be measured and enhanced in resource-based economies. Resilience is conceptualised as a multi-dimensional capacity encompassing resistance, recovery, re-organisation, and renewal, while sustainability is framed as long-term value creation that integrates environmental stewardship, economic diversification, and social inclusion.We applied the PRISMA approach and used CNKI and Scopus indexation database which eventually came up with 21 articles those were analysed. The review identifies four dominant perspectives—process, alliance, value, and correlation—used in resilience measurement. Methods such as entropy weighting, TOPSIS, grey relational analysis, DEMATEL-ISM, and spatial econometrics are widely employed to capture indicators including innovation capability, industrial diversification, digital infrastructure, and collaborative clustering. Comparative insights from China’s rare-earths policy evolution illustrates how governance transitions from quota-based to market-oriented approaches can strengthen resilience while safeguarding sustainability. Meanwhile in Indonesia, our findings highlight risks related to export dependence, technological reliance on foreign partners, weak environmental enforcement, and limited circular economy practices. At the same time, opportunities exist in education and R&D investment, institutional upgrading, stricter labour and environmental standards, and greater international cooperation. This study contributes a benchmarked conceptual and methodological framework for assessing industrial chain resilience and provides policy recommendations to balance competitiveness with sustainable development in Indonesia’s nickel sector.
