Helium Market Growth & Trends:
The global helium market size is expected to reach USD 6.06 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Helium is used in various medical and healthcare applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and cryogenics for preserving biological samples. The growing healthcare industry, along with the increasing use of MRI technology, has driven up product demand. Helium finds applications in the manufacturing and temperature control of semiconductors and various electronic components. Growing technological advancements drive the requirement for these components, consequently augmenting the product demand.
Furthermore, the product is used in the detection of leaks within the energy sector, notably in natural gas pipelines and storage facilities. As the energy industry continues to grow, the necessity for helium in these specific applications follows suit. At the beginning of 2022, helium supply interruptions were experienced due to maintenance shutdowns at gas production facilities in the United States and Qatar, as well as fires at a recently established Russian facility. Consequently, several academic research laboratories reliant on it, for cooling purposes in nuclear MR (NMR), superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), and MR spectroscopy equipment, were compelled to temporarily halt their operations.
In addition, some labs were compelled to pay a 30% premium to secure their supply. In light of the persistent product shortage affecting multiple industries on a global scale, various R&D labs delve into the potential of recycling and conservation methods to address this pressing international concern. In recent years, significant technological progress has played a crucial role in the development of promising recycling methods aimed at conserving helium. However, challenges associated with the adoption of these novel approaches, coupled with potential enduring effects on both industrial processes & environmental well-being, underscore the importance of gaining a thorough grasp of the future landscape of recycling & preservation.
