Computing power optical fiber demand resonates and the prosperity of high-purity silicon tetrachloride is on the rise.

Driven by the construction of computing power and the upgrade of communication networks, the demand for high-purity silicon tetrachloride has continued to rebound since the beginning of this year. High-purity silicon tetrachloride is mainly used in the production of preforms for optical fiber and synthetic quartz glass. It is understood that benefiting from the global prosperity of optical fibers, high-purity silicon tetrachloride has entered a price increase cycle caused by shortages. "At present, the high-purity silicon tetrachloride industry is in an upswing cycle, and its market demand has a long-term rigid growth logic." Recently, the head of a leading silicon chemical company told reporters, "The production capacity of high-purity silicon tetrachloride above 6N, which can meet the requirements of A2 ultra-low loss optical rods for optical fibers and advanced semiconductor processes, faces high technological barriers and difficulties in customer introduction. Currently, global effective production capacity is relatively tight, combined with the expansion pace of the downstream optical rod industry in the coming years, industry profitability is expected to further rise."
