Bamboo charcoal has a wide range of applications and its output is gradually increasing

Bamboo charcoal is a charcoal material made from alpine moso bamboo that is more than three years old and produced through high-temperature and oxygen-free carbonization. Bamboo charcoal is hard, loose and porous, and has strong adsorption capacity. It can absorb moisture, prevent mildew, remove odors, and purify the air. Moreover, after being scientifically refined, bamboo charcoal can absorb harmful substances in the human body and purify toxins in the blood. After years of development, the types of bamboo charcoal have become increasingly rich. According to different shapes, it can be divided into powder charcoal, flake charcoal, granular charcoal, crushed charcoal, etc.

At present, my country’s bamboo charcoal industry chain has basically taken shape. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry and the production equipment industry, providing bamboo and other raw materials as well as carbonization furnaces, crushers, dryers and other related production equipment; the midstream is mainly the bamboo charcoal production industry, and the bamboo charcoal industry participants mainly include Jiejie High Carbon Industry, Wenzhao Bamboo Charcoal, Zhongzhu Technology, etc.; the downstream is mainly in the application field. Bamboo charcoal is mostly used in health care products, environmental management, medicine, food processing, cosmetics and other fields.

In the field of environmental management, bamboo charcoal, as a porous material, has a powerful adsorption and purification function, which can dissolve dust and harmful chemicals in the environment, thereby improving environmental quality. In the field of cosmetics, since bamboo charcoal contains ingredients such as ether and acetic acid, long-term use can soften skin cuticles and play a certain role in skin cleansing, alleviating skin allergies, and caring for the skin. And with the gradual advancement of technology, bamboo charcoal can also be used to produce new composite materials, such as bamboo charcoal ceramic porous bodies, powder molded composite materials, etc. Overall, my country’s bamboo charcoal market demand is relatively huge.

According to the “In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on Bamboo Charcoal Industry 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, as my country Markets such as cosmetics, medicine, and environmental management are developing rapidly. As a basic raw material, bamboo charcoal has continued to increase market demand. Against this background, my country’s bamboo charcoal enterprises continue to expand their production scale and their output has increased. It is estimated that by 2028, my country’s bamboo charcoal output is expected to reach more than 350,000 tons.

From the perspective of import and export, my country has become one of the world’s largest bamboo charcoal producers, and its export volume continues to grow. According to data released by the General Administration of Customs, my country’s bamboo charcoal export volume will be 39,800 tons in 2022, an increase of 10,300 tons compared with 2021, and a year-on-year increase of 34.9%. From the perspective of export destination countries, my country’s bamboo charcoal export destinations mainly include Japan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea. Among them, Iran has become my country’s largest bamboo charcoal export destination.

Industry analysts said that at present, my country’s bamboo charcoal industry is in the early stages of development, with a relatively large number of companies, but most of them are small in scale. . As my country’s market continues to develop, competition among bamboo charcoal companies has intensified, and some small-scale companies with backward production technologies may be eliminated. The concentration of the bamboo charcoal market is expected to increase in the future.
