The copper production numbers for the first quarter of 2025 are in. In this article, we take a closer look at the top producers, standout performances, and year-over-year trends shaping the global copper industry.

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.
