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 12883 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month it was 12933/ton, with a price increase of 0.39%.

Domestic activated carbon manufacturers have provided strong quotes this month. The ex factory price of coconut shell water purification activated carbon (iodine value 1000) is between 11500-13500 yuan/ton, the mainstream ex factory price including tax is about 9500 yuan/ton for iodine value 800, and 9800-10200 yuan/ton for iodine value 900. In traditional fields such as water treatment, air purification, and gold extraction, the demand for coconut shell activated carbon is still strong, and downstream enterprises have a strong willingness to purchase high-quality coconut shell activated carbon.
Starting from January 1, 2026, the global shipping policy for coconut shell carbonized materials will undergo a fundamental change: coconut shell carbonized materials must be declared as dangerous goods for transportation, new regulations will cancel exemptions, and Chinese coconut shell activated carbon enterprises will soon face rising costs and compliance challenges. Due to factors such as tight raw material supply, rising costs, and stable demand, the activated carbon market may continue to operate at a high level.
Prediction: Domestic demand for coconut shell activated carbon is expected to rebound, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate with a strong trend in the short term.
