The Growing Use of Helium Gas in Medical and Electronics Industries is Major Factors Driving the Market

Published: May 2023

The global helium gas market size was valued at $2.45 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $3.42 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Major factors driving the market are the increasing consumption of helium in the electronics and semiconductor industry as well as the growing usage in the healthcare industry. The main global industrial consumers of liquid helium are the medical, aerospace, and electronics industries. The flat-panel displays, semiconductors, and optical fibers used by electronics manufacturing companies are vital consumers of helium. The element is used as a coolant in the manufacturing operations of silicon wafers and devices and also in the construction of panels. The medical industry is the largest consumer and mainly uses helium to maintain the superconducting properties of magnets in applications such as magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR) equipment.  The demand for liquid helium is greater in medicine because of the use of NMR and MRI machines.

For instance, in April 2022, Linde signed a long-term agreement to supply helium to the United States from Freeport LNG's production site in Texas. For this, Linde will construct a new helium processing plant to purify and liquefy recovered helium. For instance, in January 2022, Air Liquide announced a long-term agreement to supply ultra-high purity hydrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide to one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers. Air Liquide plans to invest nearly 60 million U.S. dollars to build, own and operate onsite plants and systems at a new manufacturing site in Phoenix, Arizona, in support of this new agreement. Space is another key growth area, as well as quantum computing.
