Tin facing a market shortage

BMI, which belongs to Fitch Solutions, has raised its tin price forecasts for the current year from an average of USD 25,000 per tonne to USD 25,700 per tonne. The reason for this is global semiconductor sales, which appear to be at a low point. This indicates an increase in demand for tin. The supply of tin has also tightened over the course of the year. The three-month tin futures prices on the London Metals Exchange stood at around USD 24,895 per tonne at the end of October; the annual average is now USD 26,205 per tonne of tin. BMI analysts expect a price of USD 28,000 per tonne of tin in 2024.

Prices should therefore rise in the coming months. Although the market surplus will increase next year, the ban on tin mining in Myanmar and declining inflation (which is fueling demand growth) will work against this. A market shortage is therefore expected in the coming years, as demand for tin should remain strong. On the supply side, it should be noted that the pipeline for tin mining projects is limited. Tin is used in electronics worldwide. The electronics in electric vehicles require significantly more tin than those in conventional vehicles.

Solar modules, especially in photovoltaic cells, are consuming more and more tin. This makes tin a raw material of the future, which will ultimately lead to a shortage of the raw material. According to the experts at BMI, a shortage of tin will dominate the market by 2030. Companies such as First Tin or Tin One, for example, can help those who want to bet on this development.
