Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Charcoal sourcing decisions with real market data
Indonesia (42.5%) leads the 402 Charcoal suppliers, followed by Nigeria (20.1%), with Vietnam at 5.7%, so sourcing from outside Indonesia or Nigeria offers limited options. The typical range is USD 157 - 820 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 675 median, meaning prices vary widely and buyers should assess quality and origin carefully. Buyer inquiries fell 8% to 23 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 14.3 percentage point gap — so a CIF quote must be explicitly asked for.

This depth ensures that even niche or specific requirements—like briquetting type or moisture content—are likely to be covered, reducing the need for lengthy custom requests. Suppliers come from 45 countries, with Indonesia accounting for 42.5% of the supply.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Charcoal listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 November 2026 - 938 active listings, 121 buyer requests, 268 source documents, and 2,043 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Charcoal type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Charcoal, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
