Activated carbon prices have risen this week (11.17-11.21)

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 12700 yuan/ton, and the price of activated carbon at the end of the week was 12766/ton, with a price increase of 0.52%.
Domestic coconut shell activated carbon manufacturers’ prices have risen this week, with the ex factory price of coconut shell water purification activated carbon in East China ranging from 9500-13000 yuan/ton. Coconut shell activated carbon has strong demand in water treatment, air purification, sodium ion batteries, and other fields. In addition, the extended shipping cycle, increased storage and environmental protection requirements have pushed up import costs, which is favorable for supporting price increases.
The price of coconut shell carbonization material in Indonesia in September was $1019/ton, and in India it was $958/ton, both up more than 80% compared to the same period in 2024. 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. ‌‌
Prediction: The demand for coconut shell activated carbon in the domestic market is strong, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate at a high level in the short term.
