Tin is recognised as a critical mineral in the US, EU, UK, and listed as strategic in Australia and Indonesia. It is vital for the energy transition, underpinning all electronics as solder, and was named in an MIT-Rio Tinto study as the metal most impacted by new technology. Demand for tin is expected to increase by 25% by 2035, therefore it is crucial to secure sustainable supply to meet society’s needs.

Historic underinvestment in new mined tin supply means the market is heading for significant deficits. This represents an important investment opportunity. The International Tin Association’s Investing in Tin Seminar is a chance to hear from future producers, investors, and analysts, and to network with market participants across the supply chain.

The event will address the following questions:

What is the long-term outlook for the tin industry?
How are new technologies set to drive future tin demand?
What are the supply challenges facing the tin industry currently?
