The global tinplate market size was valued at USD 30.07 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow from USD 31.0 billion in 2024 to USD 40.25 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period.

Tinplate is a low-carbon, lightweight, and cold-rolled steel sheet or plate that is coated with commercially available pure tin. This sheet has the formability and strength of steel and the solderability, corrosion resistance, and luster of tin. The growing use of this material in a variety of industries, such as automotive, metal packaging, and construction is anticipated to bolster market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse effect on the market’s progress as import-export activities came to a complete halt and governments across the world had imposed nationwide lockdowns. This scenario created severe supply chain disruptions in many industries, which hindered the demand for this material and ultimately impeded the market’s development.
