Price trend

According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of SunSirs, the price of activated charcoal at the beginning of the week was 12,633 RMB/ton, and the price of activated charcoal at the end of the week is 12,700 RMB/ton, with a price increase of 0.53%.

Analysis review

Most domestic manufacturers of activated charcoal have seen price increases this week. The ex factory price of activated charcoal for water purification in East China is between 9,000-13,000 RMB/ton. Coconut supply is insufficient in most parts of Asia, and the market demand for coconut shell carbonization materials, activated charcoal, and other coconut products is high, which supports the price increase of coconut shell activated charcoal.

Internationally, Southeast Asia, as the main source of coconut shells in the world, will encounter multiple natural disasters in 2024. Thailand will experience a reduction in coconut production due to drought and pest infestations. In the short term, the import price of coconut shell charcoal will continue to operate at a high level. In June 2025, the import price of coconut shell carbonized material specifications, including taxes, has exceeded the 8,000 RMB/ton mark.

Market outlook

The shortage of raw materials has not improved yet, and it is difficult for factories to purchase. Some enterprises have half started and half stopped production, resulting in insufficient output and limited supply. It is expected that the price of activated charcoal will mainly fluctuate and strengthen in the short term.
