Helium Market Outlook 2031
The global helium market size was at USD 21.90 Billion in 2022 and is to reach USD 34.86 Billion by 2031, expanding at a robust CAGR 5.3% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increased use of helium in the electronics and semiconductor industries, as well as in the healthcare business.
Helium is the second most plentiful element. It is usually trapped in underground natural gas bunkers and can be recovered commercially using a fractional distillation technique. Helium is distributed as a gas at ambient temperature or as a liquid at extremely low temperatures after reaching the appropriate purity.
Commonly for small-scale clients, helium is often supplied in unvented, pressurized tanks drawn by vehicles and tractors and for large-scale consumers it is transferred by pipes from nearby processing plants. Due to the quick speed of innovation, technological improvement, and R&D operations in the electronics sector, there is a significant demand for contemporary electronic devices.
In the medical profession, helium has a wide range of applications. Because liquid helium can reach temperatures of -269° C, it is an excellent choice for cooling MRI magnets. Furthermore, helium is used to check breathing. It plays an important role in the treatment of emphysema, asthma, and other respiratory problems.
