At the beginning of the week, the price of activated carbon was 12400 yuan/ton, and over the weekend, the price of activated carbon was 12433/ton, with a price increase of 0.27%.
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 of upstream coconut shell carbonization materials is firm, coupled with rising import logistics costs and tight raw material supply in Southeast Asian major producing countries (Indonesia, Philippines), which has pushed up the cost bottom line.
Wood charcoal (such as phosphoric acid based wood charcoal) remains weakly stable, with limited demand release during peak seasons. Downstream stocks are replenished as needed, and some factories offer discounts and promotions; Bamboo charcoal has slightly increased in some areas due to the linkage of coal and charcoal prices in the local market, but buyers need to follow up and support it.
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.
