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 12,700 RMB/ton, and the price of activated charcoal at the end of the week was 12,800 RMB/ton, with a price increase of 0.79%.

Analysis review

Most domestic manufacturers of activated charcoal have seen price increases this week, with the ex factory price of coconut shell activated charcoal for water purification in East China ranging from 9,000 to 13,000 RMB/ton. Coconut supply is insufficient in most parts of Asia, coupled with demand growth in industrial waste gas treatment, sewage treatment, lithium battery negative electrode materials, and other fields, leading to a surge in demand for environmentally friendly materials in emerging markets.

Internationally, Southeast Asia, as the main source of coconut shells worldwide, experienced multiple natural disasters in 2024. Thailand's reduced production of fragrant coconut due to drought and pest infestations, coupled with rising transportation costs, has led to a surge in coconut shell purchase prices, resulting in a yield rate of only 20% -30%.

Future outlook:

Due to the shortage of raw materials and insufficient production, it is expected that the price of activated charcoal will mainly fluctuate to be stronger in the short term.
