Why you should invest in Tin
Technology
Electronic circuits are connected by solder, which is made of ~95% tin. The world is rapidly electrifying and computers and their components play an increasingly integral role in our modern lives – driving demand of tin.
The green energy transition (solar PV), uptake of eclectic vehicles and high-tech technologies (including AI, 5G mobile technologies) are the strongest growth drivers for tin. However, tin continues to have a strong base of uses, including it’s more traditional sectors like lead-acid batteries, tin-plate, tin-chemicals.
Over the next decade tin has many opportunities for demand to skyrocket including in sodium-ion and other batteries, solar PV, thermoelectric materials, hydrogen-related applications and carbon capture.
The tin market remains supply constrained, after years of underinvestment.
Major tin suppliers are struggling to meet historic volumes – magnified by constant supply disruptions.
- Few tin projects in development pipeline, with historic supply regions struggling to maintain volumes.
- Total global tin supply has stagnated
- Europe and North America have no primary tin supply and Australia produces only 3%.
- Elementos has two projects in development primed to deliver tin into forecast deficits.
