The Rise of Antimony and Tin: What Investors Should Know in 2024

Antimony and Tin: The Metals Set to Dominate Global Markets in 2024

Editorial Team (ET)May 9, 2025

The global commodities landscape is undergoing a major shift, and two previously under-the-radar metals are now poised to take center stage. Antimony and Tin, essential to sectors like technology, renewable energy, and defense, are expected to disrupt markets in 2024 in ways that investors and industry leaders need to prepare for.

Antimony: The Unsung Critical Metal

Antimony is a critical metal that has recently seen a surge in demand. Historically, Antimony was used in fire retardants, but its applications have expanded considerably in recent years. Today, it's essential in industries ranging from semiconductors to solar energy production, making it a vital component of modern technology.

Semiconductors are the backbone of today’s technology, powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. Antimony’s role as a doping agent in semiconductors makes it crucial for improving the performance of these technologies. As industries like AI and advanced computing continue to grow, demand for Antimony will only rise.

The push towards renewable energy has further cemented Antimony’s importance. It is increasingly used in the production of solar panels, a key technology in the global transition to clean energy. With solar energy becoming more widespread, Antimony’s demand is expected to skyrocket, putting additional pressure on its already limited supply.

Tin: The Glue Holding the Electric Revolution Together

While Antimony is gaining traction, Tin has quietly become one of the most important metals in the world of electronics and renewable energy. Tin’s primary use is in soldering, making it critical for connecting various electronic components.

Tin’s importance to the energy transition cannot be overstated. It plays a key role in the production of solar panels and batteries, technologies that are central to the future of renewable energy. As the global push for clean energy intensifies, Tin will become even more critical.

Despite its importance, the global supply of Tin faces significant challenges. China controls over half of the world’s Tin refining capacity, while much of the raw material is produced in Indonesia. This reliance on a small number of countries poses a geopolitical risk for the global supply chain, particularly in an era of increasing tensions between China and the West.

Market Disruptions on the Horizon

The global market for both Antimony and Tin is set to face significant disruptions in 2024. Prices for these metals have been rising steadily, with Antimony prices increasing from $6,000 per ton in 2020 to nearly $20,000 per ton by 2023. Similar trends have been observed with Tin, which has also seen price fluctuations as demand continues to grow.

One of the main factors driving these market disruptions is the geopolitical landscape. Both China and Russia are key players in the Antimony market, and recent export restrictions have put pressure on global supply chains. Tin faces similar challenges, with the majority of production and refining concentrated in Asia.

Investment Opportunities in 2024

For investors, the rising prominence of Antimony and Tin presents a unique opportunity. Exploration companies in regions like Australia and Canada are likely to become key players in the global market, as Western countries look for ways to reduce their reliance on Chinese and Russian suppliers. In addition, companies involved in semiconductors and renewable energy production will see heightened demand for these metals, creating potential for significant returns.

Conclusion

The rapid rise of Antimony and Tin is set to disrupt global commodity markets in 2024. Their importance in industries like technology, renewable energy, and defense ensures that demand will continue to grow, while supply chain challenges and geopolitical tensions will drive market volatility. For those looking to capitalize on these trends, exploration projects and supply chain technologies represent key investment opportunities.
