In 2023, Germany and the Netherlands led the European import of unwrought non-alloy tin, together representing over 53% of total imports in kilograms, despite slight declines. Notably, Ireland and Greece experienced significant growth, with increases of over 355% and 64.65%, respectively. France and the United Kingdom saw declines exceeding 9%, suggesting a shift in sourcing or demand. Belgium and Hungary displayed positive import trajectories, each growing by more than 4%. However, Lithuania and Croatia faced sharp decreases.
Future trends to watch include Ireland's continuing high growth potential, driven by emerging market needs, and Belgium's resilience in maintaining positive import share momentum. Monitoring shifts in European manufacturing demands, particularly in key importing countries like Germany, Spain, and Italy, will be vital to understanding future tin sourcing dynamics.
