The 2020s have ushered in a paradigm shift from the globalisation and cooperation of the past decade to an era marked by intensified global competition, polarisation and nationalistic tendencies. This transition, compounded by the impacts of the US-China trade tensions and the COVID-19 pandemic, steered the world towards another economic downturn.

With its in-depth insights and strategic outlook, this report is an indispensable tool for stakeholders navigating the complex dynamics of the tin industry.
