According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the price of activated carbon at the beginning of the week was 12833 yuan/ton, and the price of activated carbon at the end of the week was 12866/ton, with a price increase of 0.26%.
Domestic coconut shell activated carbon manufacturers’ prices have risen this week, with the ex factory price of coconut shell water purification activated carbon in East China ranging from 9500-13000 yuan/ton. Coconut shell activated carbon has strong demand in water treatment, air purification, sodium ion batteries and other fields. In addition, the extended shipping cycle, increased storage and environmental protection requirements have pushed up import costs, which is favorable for supporting price increases.
The main coconut producing countries in Southeast Asia have been affected by natural disasters, policy adjustments, and other factors, resulting in a shortage of coconut shell carbonization materials and a rise in coconut shell charcoal prices. The FOB price of coconut shell carbonization material in Indonesia is about 898-901 US dollars/ton, Sri Lanka is about 924-928 US dollars/ton, and India is about 958-980 US dollars/ton.
Prediction: Due to the tight supply of coconut shell activated carbon raw materials in China and the increasing demand, it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate at a high level in the short term.
