According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the price of activated carbon at the beginning of the month was 12566 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month it was 12833/ton, with a price increase of 2.12%.

Domestic manufacturers’ quotations for activated carbon have increased this month, with the ex factory price of coconut shell water purification activated carbon (iodine value 1000) ranging from 10000 to 13500 yuan/ton. The demand for coconut shell activated carbon in traditional fields such as water treatment and air purification continues to grow, and market demand is accelerating. Industry insiders are mostly optimistic about the future market.
Internationally, in 2024, multiple natural disasters will occur: Thailand will experience a reduction in coconut production due to drought and pest infestations, while some production areas in Indonesia will be affected by abnormal rainfall at the end of the rainy season, resulting in a decrease in coconut shell collection efficiency and supporting price increases. The import price of coconut shell carbonization material specifications, including taxes, has exceeded the 8000 yuan/ton mark.
Prediction: The domestic supply of activated carbon raw materials is tight, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate with a strong trend in the short term.
