Tin Price — 10-Day Trend
All prices in ₹ per gram · daily rate, updated once per day
Three Countries, Not One, Control Tin Supply
Most people who search for tin producing countries expect a single dominant name, the way China dominates zinc or South Africa dominates platinum. Tin doesn't work that way. China does sit at the top, but Indonesia and Myanmar are close behind it — not distant also-rans — and together the three of them account for close to three-quarters of everything mined worldwide. That's the real shape of tin supply, and it's part of the backdrop behind today's rate of ₹4.55 per gram, September 17, 2026.
Before getting into the country-by-country numbers, here's that rate converted across the weights buyers actually deal in:
- Per gram: ₹4.55
- Per 10 grams: ₹45.53
- Per 100 grams: ₹455.33
- Per kilogram: ₹4,553.32
That figure ultimately traces back to the London Metal Exchange, where global tin trading is concentrated — and LME tin, in turn, reacts to exactly the kind of mine-supply concentration this page sets out below.

Tin Mine Production by Country
The table below comes from the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024 — the most recent full-year dataset USGS has published, covering 2023 mine output. Countries report mining statistics annually, not daily, so treat this as the structural backdrop behind the live price above rather than a number that moves session to session.
| Rank | Country | Mine Production (2023) | Share of World Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  China |
89,000 tonnes | 30.7% |
| 2 |  Indonesia |
70,000 tonnes | 24.1% |
| 3 |  Myanmar |
53,000 tonnes | 18.3% |
| 4 |  Peru |
18,000 tonnes | 6.2% |
| 5 |  Bolivia |
18,000 tonnes | 6.2% |
| 6 |  Brazil |
16,000 tonnes | 5.5% |
| 7 |  Australia |
6,900 tonnes | 2.4% |
| 8 |  Russia |
4,600 tonnes | 1.6% |
| — | World total | ~290,000 tonnes | 100% |
Why the top three matter more than the full list
China, Indonesia and Myanmar between them account for roughly 73% of world mine supply — a genuine three-country concentration point, not a single-country monopoly. That distinction matters for anyone trying to read the market: a disruption confined to just one of the three still leaves two other major producers standing, which is a meaningfully different risk picture than a metal where one country alone accounts for a third or more of everything and there's no comparable second or third pillar underneath it.
Peru and Bolivia tie for fourth at 6.2% each, with Brazil, Australia and Russia rounding out the rest of the list at smaller shares. None of these five come close to challenging the top three individually, but together they add a real second layer of supply that keeps tin from being a pure three-country story.

What This Concentration Means Day to Day
A three-country supply base is more resilient than a one-country supply base, but it's still a short list by commodity standards. Indonesia has a documented history of adjusting its tin export rules from time to time, and any move there tends to show up in the international price within days — well before the next annual USGS report would ever capture it. Myanmar's mining regions have also seen periods of operational disruption that traders watch closely for exactly the same reason. When two-thirds of the world's tin runs through three governments' mining and export policies, that policy layer becomes part of the price story, not a footnote to it.
India isn't on this producer list at all, and that's worth being direct about: the domestic electronics, tin-plating and alloy industries here run substantially on imported tin, which is exactly why the rate on this page tracks the international LME benchmark and the rupee-dollar rate rather than any local mined reference. Buyers sourcing tin domestically are, in effect, buying a slice of whatever China, Indonesia and Myanmar chose to mine and export that quarter.
None of that changes what shows up on an invoice today: ₹4.55 per gram, ₹4,553.32 per kilogram, as of September 17, 2026. But the next time that number moves sharply in a short window, there's a decent chance the reason traces back to one of the three countries named at the top of this page.
Tin Producing Countries — FAQs
China leads world tin mine production at roughly 89,000 tonnes a year, close to a third of global output. It's the single largest producer, but — unlike some other metals — it doesn't dominate the field alone.
Indonesia mined around 70,000 tonnes in the most recent reported year, about 24% of world supply, making it the second-largest tin-producing country. Indonesian tin output has long been closely watched by traders because of the country's periodic export policy changes.
Yes. Myanmar produced an estimated 53,000 tonnes, roughly 18% of the world total — enough to make it the third-largest producer, ahead of long-established names like Peru and Bolivia.
Between them, yes — these three countries account for close to 73% of global mine production. That is a genuine three-country concentration, distinct from a metal like zinc, where one country (China) dominates alone, or platinum, where a single country (South Africa) supplies nearly all of it.
The U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024 report, which covers calendar-year 2023 mine production — the most recent complete annual dataset USGS had published at the time of writing. USGS updates this survey once a year.
No — India does not appear among the world's significant tin producers. The country's electronics, plating and alloy industries rely substantially on imported tin, which is one reason the domestic rate tracked on this page follows the international LME tin benchmark rather than a local mined reference.
