Tin (Sn) is a soft, faintly bluish-white, lustrous, low-melting, crystalline metallic element that is malleable and ductile at ordinary temperatures. It is often combined with other metals or used to protect other metals. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Tin market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like increasing use of Tin in soldering, Tin is the primary solder alloy for soldering the manufacturing process of solar PV modules, which is expected to drive the global market. Further, Tin plating is used as a shield for the metals underlying the plated layer by many manufacturers of significant electrical components andis projected to drive the global market. Furthermore, Tin and Tin compounds are used in lithium (sodium)-ion batteries anodes due to their high theoretical capacity, low cost, and good working potentials are expected to drive market growth. However, Tin can be spread through the water systems and are absorbed by sludge particles. They are known to cause harm to aquatic ecosystems, as they are very toxic to fungi, algae, and phytoplankton, which are expected to hinder the global market growth.

Tin is used in soldering at low melting temperatures for fragile parts such as resistors and capacitors joining electrically into a circuit. Tin can be molded and stretched into various shapes without cracking. Due to these physical attributes, Tin plating is very prevalent in the food processing, electronics, and shipping industries. It is used in lithium-ion batteries anodes which are used in electric vehicles. It is used to manufacture chemicals such as Tin(II)Chloride, Tin(IV) Oxide, and Zinc Stannate. It is also used to produce float glass in a liquid tin bath to provide a flat surface over which molten glass can float and solidify.

The Soldering Industry is the most vital consumer of Tin and is projected to drive the Global Market. The Tin allows for a lower solder melting point than the two metals being bonded. The same base metals can link the two sections together in welding, making the Global Tin Market bound to rise. According to U.S. Geological Survey, domestic consumption of primary refined Tin was 1,480 metric tonnes in September 2021, a slight increase from August 2021 and a 14% reduction from September 2020. Imports of refined tin totaled were 5,150 tons in September 2021, more than doubling those in august 2021 and September 2020. Copper and other metals have a high melting temperature, a mixture of Tin is used to unite incompatible metals, such as brass and copper, to overcome the difficulties of attaining a high temperature of welding. The Tin solder used in electrical conductive connections possesses proper electrical characteristics demands for the industry shoot, thus driving the Global Tin Industry. Therefore the use of Tin in the soldering industry is expected to grow and drive the overall market in the future.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the leader in the production and consumption of Tin, with most of the consumption in countries like China and India. China is the world’s largest consumer of Tin and the world’s most significant producer, accounting for 40% of global refined tin consumption and production. The standard alloys of Tin were mainly used in the past and are still available and widely used nowadays. They are very convenient for manual soldering applications anddrive the demand for Tin in the Global market. Due to the increasing industrialization, Tin is used by various industrial manufacturers as compared to other metals and the plating processes involved, as Tin is significantly less expensive, the demand for Tin is increasing in the Global Market. Tin nanoparticles are the key to stabilizing silicon-graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Tin helps to boostsilicon performance andis expected to drive the demand for Tin in the market. In the chemical industry, Tin salt is used in Tin(II) chloride, which is used as a reducing agent and as a mordant for dyeing calico and silk, driving the demand for the Tin market. In the glass industry, Tin salts are sprayed onto glass to produce electrically conductive coatings, which is expected to drive the demand for Tin in the Global Market. The mentioned factors have made the Asia-Pacific an essential region for growth in the Tin Market.

Some of the market's key players are Arcelormittal S.A., Yunnan Tin Group Company Limited, Minsur S.A., Thailand Smelting & Refining Co., Ltd, Avalon Advanced Materials, Inc., among others.

In January 2022, a Nanodetech startup has developed a low-cost tin foil anode solution for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries that increases volumetric energy density by up to 50% while reducing raw material and manufacturing costs by up to 60%.

In December 2021, Scientists at Egypt’s National Research Centre had proved that black tin anodized aluminum is 17% more heat efficient than ordinary black paint coatings for flat panel solar water heaters.

In July 2021, Aurubis announced that it would construct a recycling plant at its Beerse - formerly Metallo - site in Belgium. The new factory will use a hydrometallurgical process to extract a range of metals, including tin, from copper anode sludge.
