Our latest infographic on tin (featured above) highlights a significant upward trend in its price, which has climbed +675% since 2002. This sustained rise, more than a temporary fluctuation, reflects tin's growing importance in our modern world. Several key factors are driving this rally: robust demand from tech and green energy sectors, notable supply disruptions, and constrained global inventories, as market analyses have indicated (e.g., Oedigital, April 2, 2025)¹.

Asia stands as the undisputed leader in global tin mine production, estimated to account for 55.7% of the world's total output in 2024, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Tin, often called the "glue" of the electronics industry due to its critical role in solder, is poised for a significant demand surge in the coming years. While traditionally used in tinplate for packaging and chemicals, its future is increasingly tied to the rapid advancements shaping our modern world. Projections indicate a substantial rise in global tin consumption by 2030, driven by a confluence of technological megatrends.
