Helium Market Analysis

The global helium market size reached 170 million cubic meters in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 223.8 million cubic meters, at a projected CAGR of 3.10% during 2023-2032.

  • Helium gas is extensively used in the medical sector to cool the superconducting magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines to extremely low temperatures. This enables the production of powerful magnetic fields, which are essential for producing high-resolution images of the internal human body parts. The prevalence of chronic ailments is growing worldwide. Based on the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, 6 out of 10 adults in the United States are suffering from chronic conditions. And 4 in 10 individuals have more than two chronic diseases. Aside from this, approx. 21% of the geriatric people in India have at least one chronic disease. Also, 17% of geriatric adults in rural areas and 29% in urban areas suffer from at least one chronic disease. This trend has elevated the demand for diagnostic imaging procedures like MRI and, in turn, helium.
  • The semiconductor sector relies heavily on this substance because of its inert properties and ability to act as a cooling agent. Helium is used to maintain the purity of the environment and prevent contamination during etching, deposition, and other delicate processes. It is also vital for cooling semiconductor lasers and in the plasma etching process. Based on the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the worldwide sales of the semiconductor industry stood at USD 46.2 billion during the month of February 2024, which is a 16.3% increase compared to the same time period last year.
  • This lightweight gas is also extremely useful in the defense industry for a variety of high-tech applications. Its low boiling point and inert properties make it ideal for preserving the cryogenic temperatures required to store liquid hydrogen and oxygen, which are utilized as rocket propellants. It's also used in missile guiding systems and infrared detectors. As investment in the defense sector increases, demand for this gas will increase. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, worldwide military expenditure would reach US$ 2443 billion in 2023, representing a 6.8% increase. Also, during the same year, the average military spending as a percentage of total government spending increased by 0.4%.
  • Aside from this, bulk helium is commonly employed in welding and metal production applications. It serves as a shielding gas for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW). It shields the weld pool from air pollution, resulting in high-quality welds. Furthermore, its inertness prevents oxidation and other reactions that could weaken the weld.

Product Description

Helium is a very pure, tasteless, odorless, colorless, and inert gas that is not hazardous in nature. It is obtained from natural gas sources and is available in a variety of purity levels to meet the needs of various industries. It is also the second lightest element in the periodic table, with an atomic number of 2. This element mostly remains in a gaseous state except at extremely low temperatures of -268.93°C (-452.07°F), where it becomes a liquid. The key physical properties of this gas are boiling point (-268.93°C (-452.07°F)), melting point (-272.2°C (-458°F) at 2.5 MPa), and density (0.1786 grams/liter).

It is commercially produced in several steps, such as extraction from underground reserves, cryogenic distillation, purification, and liquefaction for easier transport and storage. It is employed in gas chromatography, welding, nuclear reactors, semiconductor production, leak detection, academic research, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and party balloons. This gas is a versatile substance that is lauded for its purity, non-toxicity, chemical inertness, and effective cooling.
