China's refined tin output stood at 15,868 mt in January, down 4.66% on month.

SHANGHAI, Feb 8 (SMM) – China's refined tin output stood at 15,868 mt in January, down 4.66% on month.

Although tin prices were firm in January, Wa State of Myanmar was blocked for about 2 weeks due to the pandemic prevention, which made it difficult for some production enterprises in Yunnan to purchase raw materials, thus reducing production. In addition, some enterprises in Jiangxi started their holiday ahead of schedule in late January, which caused the output of these enterprises to decline. These factors led to a month-on-month decline in output in January. Individual enterprises in Yunnan will stop production during the CNY holiday, and most enterprises in Jiangxi will also stop production. China's refined tin output is expected to decrease to 12,000 mt in February.

AI Server Growth Demand Supports Q4 Memory Contract Price Uptrend; Consumer-Side Pressure Persists

According to TrendForce's latest memory industry research, in Q4 2026, DRAM manufacturers will continue to allocate advanced process capacity to high-performance products for server applications, maintaining an overall undersupply situation. However, the contract price uptrend is slowing down, with Conventional DRAM expected to increase by 10%–15% QoQ. The NAND Flash market is showing a dual-track development of AI acceleration and low consumer demand that nonetheless drives price increases, with overall contract prices expected to rise by 15%–20% QoQ.
