Introduction

The global charcoal market is on the rise in 2025, with UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Germany leading the demand for premium shisha briquettes and BBQ charcoal.
For importers, distributors, and purchasing managers, understanding market dynamics, price trends, and product quality standards is essential for making profitable sourcing decisions.

1. UAE & Saudi Arabia — Shisha Lounges Driving Demand

In the Middle East, shisha remains a cultural mainstay. Premium coconut shell briquettes are preferred for:

  • Long burn time — perfect for extended shisha sessions.

  • Low ash content — ensuring a cleaner experience.

  • Consistent size & moisture control — for reliable performance.

Tropicoal’s products meet these requirements through rigorous quality control, eco-friendly production, and lab certification.

2. Germany — The Summer BBQ Surge

Germany’s BBQ culture peaks between May and September. Demand is shifting toward:

  • Eco-friendly coconut shell briquettes over lumpwood.

  • Premium binchotan charcoal for high-end restaurants.

  • BBQ-specific shapes (cube, hexagonal, stick) that match different cooking needs.

Tropicoal’s production capacity and packaging options make it easier for European distributors to meet seasonal demand.

3. 2025 Price Trends

Google Ads data shows strong search interest for:

  • “Buy charcoal in bulk”

  • “Coconut charcoal price per ton”

  • “Wholesale charcoal briquettes”

Prices remain stable compared to early 2025, but freight rates are sensitive to global shipping conditions. Securing long-term contracts now can protect your business from sudden cost spikes.

4. How Importers Can Secure Supply

To ensure a smooth supply chain, importers should:

  1. Plan ahead — order before peak demand.

  2. Insist on lab-tested quality — Tropicoal provides certification for ash, moisture, and calorific value.

  3. Negotiate bulk contracts — stabilize pricing and guarantee availability.

Whether supplying Dubai’s shisha lounges or Berlin’s BBQ restaurants, success in 2025 depends on securing the right charcoal, from the right supplier, at the right time.
