The World's Largest Tin Producer, Led by One Company
China mined an estimated 71,000 tonnes of tin in 2025, holding steady from 2024 and remaining comfortably the world's largest tin-producing country, according to the US Geological Survey's 2026 Mineral Commodity Summaries. Today's tin reference rate is ₹4.65 per gram on September 21, 2026.
- China's 2025 mine production: ~71,000 tonnes (world's largest)
- China's reserves: ~1.2 million tonnes (world's second-largest, after Indonesia)
- Yunnan Tin Group: world's largest refined-tin producer, ~25% global market share

Yunnan Tin Group's Outsized Global Footprint
China's dominance in raw mine production is matched, and arguably exceeded, by its dominance in refining. Yunnan Tin Group (YTC), a state-owned company with roots stretching back to 1883 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, is the world's largest refined-tin producer by a wide margin, reporting 85,000 tonnes of output in 2024 -- more than double Peru's Minsur, the second-largest global producer at 36,300 tonnes. YTC alone commands roughly a 25% share of the entire global refined-tin market and about 48% of China's own domestic market.
Chasing higher-value demand
YTC isn't standing still on volume alone. In late 2025, the company expanded its high-purity refining capacity by 12%, specifically to serve the 5G and semiconductor industries -- sectors that need exceptionally pure tin for solder and advanced electronics manufacturing, a higher-margin market than standard industrial-grade tin.

Why China's Steady Output Doesn't Mean a Steady Global Price
China's tin production held essentially flat in 2025, which means the meaningful global price moves that year came from elsewhere -- chiefly Myanmar's mining ban, which cut that country's output nearly in half over two years. China's scale gives it real influence over the global tin market's baseline supply, but it doesn't insulate international prices from disruptions in other producing countries, since China's own output wasn't the swing factor in 2025's price story.

China Tin Production — FAQs
China mined an estimated 71,000 tonnes of tin in 2025, unchanged from 2024, making it the world's largest tin-mining country by a clear margin, according to the US Geological Survey's 2026 Mineral Commodity Summaries. Indonesia, the second-largest producer, mined an estimated 61,000 tonnes over the same year.
Yunnan Tin Group (YTC), a state-owned company tracing its roots back to 1883 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, is the world's largest refined-tin producer, with reported output of 85,000 tonnes in 2024 -- more than double the second-place producer, Peru's Minsur, at 36,300 tonnes. YTC holds roughly a 25% global market share and about 48% of the Chinese domestic market.
China's reserves stood at an estimated 1.2 million tonnes in 2025, according to USGS -- the second-largest reserve base globally after Indonesia's 1.4 million tonnes, out of a world total exceeding 6 million tonnes.
Yes. Yunnan Tin Group expanded its high-purity refining capacity by 12% in late 2025, specifically targeting the 5G and semiconductor sectors -- industries that require exceptionally pure tin for use in solder and electronics manufacturing, a higher-value market than standard industrial tin.
Less directly, mainly because tin is a much smaller global market than steel or aluminium, and China's roughly 24% share of world mine production, while dominant, isn't as overwhelming as its share of some other metals markets. Supply disruptions elsewhere -- such as Myanmar's mining ban -- can still move global tin prices meaningfully even while China's own output holds steady.
