Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the wood charcoal market in Oceania remained relatively stable, fluctuating around 64 000 tonnes. Global demand for charcoal as an ecological alternative and for grilling supported the market in 2018, while rising worldwide charcoal demand in 2020 contributed to an increase to 64 783 tonnes.

The market expanded significantly to 73 561 tonnes in 2022 and further to 78 297 tonnes in 2023. This growth coincided with supply tensions for coconut shell charcoal due to export restrictions in Indonesia, affecting regional availability and prices. Simultaneously, increased production and investments in charcoal briquettes, particularly in automated and eco-friendly plants, broadened the product range and stimulated demand.

In 2024, ongoing supply constraints for coconut shell charcoal and investments in multi-raw material production continued to influence the market. Strengthening international environmental regulations, such as PFAS standards, further boosted demand for activated carbon, impacting the wood charcoal supply chain in Oceania.
