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 12333 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month it was 12533/ton, with a price increase of 1.62%.

Domestic activated carbon manufacturers have seen some price increases this month, but most have remained stable. The ex factory price of coconut shell activated carbon for water purification is between 10000-13500 yuan/ton. The demand for coconut shell activated carbon in traditional fields such as water treatment and air purification continues to grow, and the market supply is tight. Industry insiders are mostly optimistic about the future market.
Internationally, 95% of coconut shell carbonization materials rely on imports. Southeast Asia, as the main source of coconut shells worldwide, will encounter multiple natural disasters in 2024: Thailand will experience a reduction in coconut production due to drought and pest infestations, and 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.
Prediction: The supply of activated carbon in the domestic and international markets is tight, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate with a strong trend in the short term.
