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 12633 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month it was 12800 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 1.32%.
Domestic manufacturers’ quotations for activated carbon have increased 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 traditional fields such as water treatment in China is steadily growing, and the demand for hard carbon negative electrodes driven by the industrialization of sodium electricity is also increasing, directly driving the import demand for high-purity coconut shell carbon.
At present, the supply of raw materials is tight, and the main production areas in Southeast Asia are affected by natural disasters and adjustments in planting structure, resulting in a decrease in coconut production, a shortage of carbonized materials supply, an increase in processing enterprises in production areas, and intensified competition, leading to a rise in raw material prices. The import volume of fruit shell charcoal in October was 14652.8 tons, a decrease of 9% compared to the previous month and an increase of 11% year-on-year.
Prediction: The demand for coconut shell activated carbon in China is increasing, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate with a strong trend in the short term.
