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 12766 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month it was 12633/ton, a decrease of 1.04% in price.

Domestic manufacturers’ quotations for activated carbon have fallen this month, with the ex factory price of coconut shell water purification activated carbon (iodine value 1000) ranging from 11000 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 high prices limit the enthusiasm for transactions, resulting in lower than expected transactions in the activated carbon market.
With the implementation of production expansion plans in major producing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as the popularization of alternative raw material technologies, prices may fall. Currently, raw material supply is tight, and the main production areas in Southeast Asia are affected by natural disasters and planting structure adjustments, resulting in a decrease in coconut production, a shortage of carbonization materials, an increase in processing enterprises in production areas, and intensified competition, leading to a rise in raw material prices.
Prediction: High prices of coconut shell activated carbon in China limit transactions, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate in the short term.
