Processed nickel production
Our World in Data's line chart drew 42.6K views on X: 1.5x its typical post and #56 of 139 Our World in Data charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
After a decade of growth, Indonesia has become the world's largest producer of processed nickel.
Why it spread
It spread because a trusted independent author paired a clear line chart showing Indonesia becoming the world's largest processed nickel producer with a relatable everyday framing, drawing 42,632 views, 380 likes, 123 reposts, 33 quotes, and 87 saves, with a quote rate in the top quarter and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The post opens with a concrete decade-long trend and a single sharp claim, which gives the chart a clear headline.
- The everyday examples of nickel in stainless steel, pots, bathroom pipes, and mobile phone batteries make an industrial data story feel personally relevant.
- The chart is a simple line with high self-labelling and a visible source line, so viewers can understand and trust it quickly.
What to borrow
We could take one long-run national trend from our own data, state the turning point in plain language, and connect it to objects people already use every day.
Careful
Do not over-read the absence of comment or benchmark figures, and do not assume the same framing will work for every commodity or country.
