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 12833 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month, the price of activated carbon was 12766/ton, a decrease of 0.52%.

Domestic activated carbon manufacturers’ quotations have been weak this month. The ex factory price of coconut shell water purification activated carbon (iodine value 1000) is between 11000-13500 yuan/ton, the mainstream ex factory price including tax is about 9500 yuan/ton for iodine value 800, and 9800-10200 yuan/ton for iodine value 900. The market demand is off-season, and enterprises determine production based on sales, with stable raw material arrival at the port.
At present, the factory inventory is generally 30-40%, and orders are scheduled from January to February; Downstream industries such as water purification and food have stable demand, with no centralized procurement trend, limiting the increase in price. The high price of coconut shell activated carbon limits the enthusiasm for transactions. According to customs data statistics, the export volume of activated carbon from China in November was 33800 tons, an increase of 36% year-on-year and 24% month on month.
Prediction: Domestic coconut shell activated carbon transactions fell short of expectations, with limited downward space supported by costs. It is expected that activated carbon prices will mainly fluctuate in the short term.
