Which has been the better long-term performer: gold or silver? In this latest infographic, we take a look at how gold and silver have performed head-to-head over the last sixty years.

While previous discussions have highlighted tin's surging price and evolving demand drivers, a critical part of the story lies on the horizon: a looming structural deficit in supply. According to detailed forecasts from the International Tin Association (ITA), without significant investment in new mining projects, the world is on track for a substantial tin shortfall by the end of the decade.

For market observers who follow precious metals, the Gold/Silver Ratio is a frequently cited metric. While it provides a simple snapshot of relative value, a deeper analysis of its history reveals a recurring pattern: significant upward movements in the price of silver have often followed periods where the Gold/Silver Ratio reached a peak.

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.

Industry analyses, including reports like the World Silver Survey, indicate these can stem from factors such as the maturation of major orebodies, shifting capital investment cycles, the extended timelines required for new mine development, fluctuating operational costs, and evolving regulatory environments in key silver-producing nations. This decrease from mining operations is a crucial factor in this year's overall market deficit.

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.

Over the past decade, industrial demand has steadily claimed a larger share of global silver mine production. This trend reflects silver’s expanding role in technology and manufacturing, especially in areas such as renewable energy and electronics.

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.

The global silver market is experiencing a notable shift, driven largely by surging industrial demand—particularly from the green energy and electronics sectors. According to the report, total silver demand is expected to reach 1.148 billion ounces this year, while supply is forecast at just 1.030 billion ounces. This shortfall marks the fifth consecutive year of market deficit.
