The domestic activated carbon market demand improved last week, but the improvement efforts are still lacking. The price of charcoal has been partially increased due to the impact of environmental inspections and rising raw material prices.
Coal-based charcoal is mainly implemented by coal-based charcoal plants in the Pingluo area of Ningxia due to production restrictions. At present, some factories have gradually entered a state of load reduction and production reduction, and some or gradually implemented them in the later period. Affected by this, coal columnar carbon prices are expected to rise. Although the market has risen slightly recently, due to insufficient order follow-up, the upward momentum appears to be insufficient. The industry believes that if production restrictions continue, Ningxia coal-based columnar carbon may have a substantial increase.
The price of coconut shell charcoal has been rising recently, mainly due to the continuous increase in raw material prices. At present, the domestic price of imported materials is 4600-4700 yuan/ton with tax, and the price of large pieces is 4400 yuan/ton with tax. The price is small and the supply is in short supply. The coconut shell charcoal plant is facing the risk of insufficient raw materials and production restriction. The current supply of coconut shell charcoal is generally acceptable, and the supply of a few charcoal species is tight.
Wood charcoal market The recent market trend is not good, mainly due to insufficient overall demand boost, slow factory shipments, and partial inventory backlogs. Under the circumstance that funds are urgently needed to withdraw, local transactions are low. The demand for wood charcoal “Golden Nine” is limited, and the improvement of “Silver Ten” is expected.
