Tin is a soft, malleable base metal used mainly for solder in electronics, tinplate for food and beverage packaging, and in alloys and chemical compounds. Its market importance reflects its role in electronics and consumer-goods supply chains; prices are driven by demand from those sectors and by supply-side factors such as concentrated mining in Southeast Asia, by-product and recycled supply, smelter capacity, stock levels and geopolitical or environmental disruptions.
