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 12500 yuan/ton, with stable prices.
Domestic coconut shell activated carbon manufacturers have maintained stable prices this week. The ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China is between 9500-13000 yuan/ton, while the price of columnar coal based activated carbon with an iodine value of around 1000 is between 8200-9500 yuan/ton. The supply side of coconut shell raw materials in Indonesia and Vietnam is limited, and the import of carbide materials is tight. Manufacturers have low inventory and strong willingness to raise prices.
Demand side: Water treatment, pure water, and food decolorization industries require stable demand; The demand for high iodine value coal extracted from gold mines is stable, but procurement is generally under pressure, and there is not much stockpiling in large quantities. Traders are watching, low-priced goods are gradually decreasing, and the bargaining space for small orders is limited; There is still room for negotiation for large and long orders.
Prediction: Domestic coconut shell activated carbon transactions fell short of expectations, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate in the short term.
