Tin Plate Prices Outlook Q2 2025
- USA: USD 1560/MT
- China: USD 750/MT
- Germany: USD 1630/MT
- India: USD 976/MT
- Japan: USD 1755/MT
During the second quarter of 2025, the tin plate prices in the USA reached 1560 USD/MT in June. As per the tin plate price chart, prices were notably impacted by a sharp rise in import volumes, particularly in April. Tin plate imports surged year over year. This substantial increase in supply exerted downward pressure on domestic tin plate prices, as greater availability led to more competitive pricing. The influx of competitively priced tin plate from major suppliers such as Germany, the Netherlands, and China also intensified market competition, reducing reliance on domestic producers and enabling buyers to negotiate lower prices.
During the second quarter of 2025, tin plate prices in China reached 750 USD/MT in June. The imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties by the European Commission on tin plate imports from China significantly influenced tin plate prices within China. This move, aimed at countering unfair pricing practices, triggered an oversupply of tin plate in the domestic Chinese market as manufacturers diverted volumes originally intended for Europe. The resultant supply glut exerted downward pressure on local tin plate prices.
During the second quarter of 2025, the tin plate prices in Germany reached 1630 USD/MT in June. In Q2 2025, tin plate prices in Germany were primarily influenced by shifting international trade dynamics, regional supply-demand imbalances, and downstream consumption patterns. Simultaneously, demand remained relatively stable across key downstream sectors such as food packaging and aerosols, sustaining procurement levels. However, cost pressures from upstream inputs, particularly volatile steel coil prices, also contributed to elevated tin plate production costs.
During the second quarter of 2025, the tin plate prices in India reached 976 USD/MT in June. Since tin plate relies on low-carbon steel, volatility in steel or iron-ore prices directly impacted costs. Rising steel prices driven by higher iron ore and coking coal prices, fed into tin plate costs. Besides, Q2 saw sustained demand from food and beverage canning, especially with India’s packaging market growth. This helped support tin plate prices.
During the second quarter of 2025, the tin plate prices in Japan reached 1755 USD/MT in June. Tin plate prices in Japan experienced notable upward momentum, primarily driven by rising raw material costs and strong regional demand. Japanese steelmakers successfully secured a price hike during negotiations with Southeast Asian buyers, pushing export prices. This increase was largely justified by the persistent rise in input costs, particularly tin and low-carbon steel, which squeezed profit margins and left producers with little option but to adjust prices upward.

Europe Tin Plate Price Trend
Q3 2025:
The tin plate price index in Europe during Q3 2025 reflected generally subdued sentiment as multiple downstream industries encountered soft ordering momentum. Demand from food canning, aerosols, and general metal packaging remained stable but lacked the strength to stimulate upward pricing. While production conditions improved slightly, the overall industrial climate remained cautious. Import competition from Asian suppliers encouraged more conservative contracting among buyers, adding pressure on spot markets. Supply availability remained balanced as mills operated with measured output levels, ensuring no significant shortage.
Q2 2025:
As per the tin plate price index, prices in Europe were significantly influenced by the imposition of anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports. The European Commission enforced definitive tariffs following the findings of an anti-dumping investigation, which concluded that Chinese tin plate was being sold in the EU market at unfairly low prices. With provisional duties already in effect since mid-January 2025, the formal ratification of these trade measures in Q2 added further price pressure. The duties curtailed low-cost supply from China, reducing overall market availability and driving up prices for both imported and locally produced tin plate. Moreover, the policy move restored competitive balance by shielding European producers from price suppression, enabling them to command higher, more sustainable price levels.

North America Tin Plate Price Trend
Q3 2025:
The tin plate price index in North America during Q3 2025 showed a softening pattern due to restrained demand across several packaging and general line applications. Downstream buyers maintained cautious purchasing strategies, influenced by moderate economic activity and steady inventories. Domestic mills operated with a consistent supply, ensuring adequate availability across regional hubs. Import activity was present but did not significantly influence pricing dynamics due to moderate competitiveness. Cost pressures from raw materials remained steady, providing limited upward momentum.
Q2 2025:
The US imports of tin plate surged from March to April. This hike, coupled with a year-over-year rise, significantly boosted the available supply of tin plates in the market. With this greater availability, suppliers had more flexibility to negotiate pricing. Moreover, elevated imports from these Asian markets further added to supply pressure. This influx of lower-priced imports helped to moderate any potential price increases, particularly for US manufacturers looking for cost-effective materials. Although the sharp rise in imports pressured prices downward, downstream demand for tin plate also played a crucial role in price formation.

Product Description
Tin plate is a thin steel sheet coated with a layer of tin, offering a combination of strength, formability, and excellent corrosion resistance. The base material, typically low-carbon cold-rolled steel, is electrolytically coated with tin on one or both sides to protect it from rust and enhance its appearance. This metal product is widely used in the packaging industry, particularly for manufacturing food cans, beverage containers, aerosol cans, and bottle caps, due to its non-toxic nature and ability to preserve contents effectively.
The tin layer serves as a protective barrier that prevents oxidation and chemical reactions between the steel substrate and its environment, making it ideal for storing perishable and reactive substances. Additionally, tin plate is highly workable, allowing it to be drawn or stamped into complex shapes without compromising its structural integrity.
Aside from packaging, tin plate finds applications in electrical components, automotive parts, and decorative items. It is also favored for its recyclability and compatibility with sustainable manufacturing practices. The global demand for tin plate is influenced by trends in consumer packaging, environmental regulations promoting recyclable materials, and advancements in metal coating technologies.
