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 12883 yuan/ton, and the price of activated carbon at the end of the week was 12933/ton, with a price increase of 0.39%.

The prices of domestic coconut shell activated carbon manufacturers have risen this week. The ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China is between 9500-13000 yuan/ton, while the price of columnar coal activated carbon with an iodine value of around 1000 yuan/ton is between 8200-9500 yuan/ton. Since January, coconut shell carbonization materials have been included in the new regulations for dangerous goods, and the import of raw materials has been greatly affected, resulting in a significant decrease in supply. Coconut shell charcoal enterprises in various production areas in China have been greatly affected by the shortage of raw materials.
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. Coconut shell activated carbon has a strong demand in fields such as water treatment, air purification, and sodium ion batteries. In addition, the extended shipping cycle, increased storage and environmental requirements have pushed up import costs, which is favorable for supporting price increases.
Prediction: Due to the tight supply of coconut shell activated carbon raw materials and increased costs in China, it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate at a high level in the short term.
