The ongoing construction of AI data centers and computing power networks is exerting significant pressure on the optical fiber industry chain. Consequently, prices for high-purity silica sand have surged, earning it the moniker of 'gold among sands.' According to industry data, mainstream prices for high-purity silica sand utilized in optical fibers have climbed to a range of RMB 48,000 to 55,000 per ton. Notably, high-end products exceeding the 6N grade are experiencing acute scarcity. Owing to inadequate domestic self-sufficiency, the already strained supply-demand balance has further tightened. The price escalation of high-purity silica sand can be traced back to the explosive growth in demand within the downstream optical fiber sector.
