Europe is relaunching the war against “made in China” fiber optics. According to our information, the European Commission has decided to double, at the start of the school year, the anti-dumping duties which have affected the major Chinese manufacturers in the sector since the end of 2021. Initially set between 14.6% and 33.7%, import taxes can therefore now go… up to more than 60%.
European manufacturers of fiber optic cables, such as the French Acome and Nexans, or the Franco-Italian Prysmian, can rejoice. For years, the industry has accused China of flooding the European market by selling telecom operators on the continent optical fiber between 20% and 30% cheaper and of lower quality. In 2019, imports were so massive that several European factories manufacturing these precious glass threads, essential for very high-speed Internet, had to temporarily cease production.
