Scintillating tracking detectors based on regular arrays of thin scintillating fibers (SciFi), recently developed for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, offer a unique combination of high count rate, high spatial resolution and detection efficiency. Being a direct competitor to silicon microstrip and pixel detectors, they have a number of significant advantages. The license-clear technology for their production, developed with the participation of Russian institutes, as well as their mass production on the territory of the Kurchatov Institute within the framework of the upgrade of the LHCb experiment, give hope for the widespread use of domestic SciFi detectors in planned experiments in high-energy physics, astrophysics and applied research areas, such as medicine, security systems and industrial tomography. A number of concrete new projects using SciFi detectors will also be considered.
