    An industry analysis from Somerset Solders | May 2026

    Tin and silver, the two materials at the heart of most lead-free solder wire and paste, have had an extraordinary 18 months. Prices that many manufacturers had come to regard as a rough baseline have moved well beyond that. The causes are real, documented, and not going away quickly.

According to Trading Economics data, by early 2026 tin prices had risen over 57% compared to the same point the previous year, briefly touching $56,800 per tonne on the London Metal Exchange in January 2026 before retreating to a range around $49,000 to $50,000/t.
