Cost supported activated carbon prices rise

At the beginning of the week, the price of activated carbon was 12266 yuan/ton, and over the weekend, it was 12366/ton, a decrease of 0.82% in price.
The prices of domestic coconut shell activated carbon manufacturers have stabilized and become stronger this week. The ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China is between 9500-13000 yuan/ton. The price trend of upstream coconut shell carbonization materials (raw materials) is firm, coupled with the recent extension of shipping cycles, increased storage and environmental protection requirements, which have pushed up import and logistics costs and formed a bottom support for the price of finished carbon.
Supply side impact: The main producing countries in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Philippines) are affected by drought and tightening export quotas, resulting in tight raw material supply and the release of production capacity in some regions of the country. The overall market supply-demand game makes it difficult for prices to rise unilaterally, with fluctuations being the main factor.
Prediction: The domestic supply of coconut shell activated carbon raw materials is tight, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate and strengthen in the short term.
