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 12800 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 0.79%.

Most domestic manufacturers of activated carbon have seen price increases this week, with the ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China ranging from 9000 to 13000 yuan/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, is expected to experience 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%.
Prediction: Due to the shortage of raw materials and insufficient production, it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate with a strong trend in the short term.
