In recent months, the global market for coconut shell activated carbon has seen continued upward pressure on prices. This trend reflects growing global demand, regional supply limitations, and shifting cost structures across the value chain.
Industry Leaders Announce Price Increases
Notably, Jacobi Carbons, a world leader in coconut-based activated carbon, has announced yet another round of price increases effective July 1, 2025. This follows a previous increase implemented just three months ago, on April 1, 2025. Such repeated adjustments signal tight market conditions and confirm that supply is struggling to keep up with demand.
According to public communications from Jacobi and other suppliers, factors driving this price increase include:
- Rising raw coconut shell costs in Southeast Asia
- Logistics and freight surcharges
- Labor and energy cost inflation
- Surging demand from water treatment, gold recovery, and air purification sectors
What This Means for the Global Supply Chain
As inventory cycles tighten and forward orders grow, manufacturers and end-users alike face challenges such as:
- Shorter quote validity
- Longer lead times
- Strained production capacities
- Greater difficulty in securing stable contracts or bulk pricing
