November 21st, According to reports

According to the commodity market analysis system: At the beginning of the week, the price of activated carbon was 12,700 CNY per ton, and by the end of the week, it had risen to 12,766 CNY per ton, an increase of 0.52%.

Chinese coconut shell activated carbon prices from manufacturers rose this week. The factory price of coconut shell activated carbon for water purification in East China ranged between 9,500 and 13,000 CNY per ton. The demand for coconut shell activated carbon is strong in areas such as water treatment, air purification, and sodium-ion batteries. Additionally, the extended shipping cycle, increased storage and environmental protection requirements have pushed up import costs, providing support for the price increase.

In September, the price of Indonesian coconut shell char was $1,019 per ton, while India’s stood at $958 per ton—both representing increases of over 80% compared to the same period in 2024. Southeast Asian countries, major producers of coconuts, have experienced supply shortages of coconut shell char due to factors such as natural disasters and policy adjustments, driving up prices across the board.

Prediction: The demand for coconut shell activated carbon in the Chinese market is strong, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly follow a high-level fluctuation trend in the short term.
