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 12500 yuan/ton, and the price of activated carbon at the end of the week was 12533/ton, with a price increase of 0.27%.

Most domestic manufacturers have stable quotes for activated carbon this week, with some rising. The ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China is between 9000-13000 yuan/ton, with tight supply and strong demand supporting the price increase of coconut shell activated carbon. Industry insiders are mostly optimistic about the future market.
Internationally, Southeast Asia, as the main source of coconut shells worldwide, will face multiple natural disasters in 2024. Thailand will experience a reduction in coconut production due to drought and pest infestations, while some production areas in Indonesia will be affected by abnormal rainfall at the end of the rainy season, resulting in a decrease in coconut shell collection efficiency. In the short term, the import price of coconut shell charcoal will continue to operate at a high level.
Prediction: The combination of favorable factors supports the rise in activated carbon prices, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate and strengthen in the short term.
