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 12866 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month it was 12900 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 0.26%.

Domestic manufacturers’ quotations for activated carbon have fallen 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 coconut shell activated carbon in traditional fields such as water treatment and air purification continues to grow, and high prices limit the enthusiasm for transactions, resulting in lower than expected market transactions.
The biomass substitute raw material technologies such as bamboo based charcoal and straw charcoal are gradually maturing, but it is difficult to completely replace coconut shell activated carbon in the short term, and the market is still dominated by coconut shell charcoal. With the implementation of production expansion plans in major producing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as the popularization of alternative raw material technologies, prices may fall, but the market will still remain in a high volatility state in the short term.
Prediction: The domestic activated carbon market has light trading volume, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate and weaken in the short term.
