Helium Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Gas, Liquid), By Application (Cryogenics, Semiconductor & Fibre Optics, Leak Detection, Welding, Others)Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
Helium is a non-toxic, tasteless, colorless, inert, monoatomic, and the first noble gas in the periodic table. Having atomic number 2, it is obtained after its separation from natural gas. This process is carried out using a cryogenic piping system, in which the natural gas is pressurized and passed through a sieve. During this, the natural gas is separated from helium and only the crude helium remains. Helium is majorly used in electronics in semiconductor devices. In the healthcare systems, it is utilized for treating emphysema, asthma and other conditions. It also finds applications in MRI and NMR technology process as a coolant. Helium also finds applications in the aerospace and defense sectors. This growing adoption of helium will certainly boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on its types, the global helium market can be segmented into liquids and gas. The utilization of gas helium in recent years has been on the rise with increasing adoption in various end-use segments. Based on its application, the global helium market can be segmented into cryogenics, semiconductors and fibers, leak detection, welding and others. The growing application of helium in pressurized services and electronics will fuel the sieve of cryogenics and semiconductors during the forecast period.

Key Industry Developments
- In January 2020, Tumbleweed Midstream announced the acquisition of the Ladder Creek helium plant and gathering system from DCP Midstream. The plant is located west of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado. The helium produced in this region has high helium content with an average concentration of about 3 percent.
- In October 2019, NASA awarded a contract to Air Products for the supply of helium for its space projects. As said by NASA the contract with Air Products began Oct. 1 and runs two years, followed by three one-year options that would extend the deal to Sept. 30, 2024. The value of the contract stands at USD 168 million.
