Northeast Asia: The market experienced upward pricing momentum driven by surging semiconductor manufacturing demand, which accounts for approximately 24% of global helium consumption and is projected to reach 30% by 2030. Critical requirements from high-tech industries including electronics, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and telecommunications equipment amplified consumption patterns, with limited substitutes available for cryogenic applications. Supply constraints from finite resource availability and elevated import costs, particularly from Qatar due to higher natural gas prices contributed to the upward pricing trajectory throughout the period.
Europe: European helium market demonstrated upward pricing momentum as prices have surged, fueled by persistent shortages and market instability. Strategic considerations increasingly influence market dynamics, with European countries viewing helium supply security as critical amid ongoing supply constraints. Demand remained robust from medical imaging facilities utilizing MRI equipment, aerospace engineering applications, and growing semiconductor manufacturing requirements. The ongoing supply crisis following the closure of the US federal reserve continued affecting regional availability, while supply diversification efforts through emerging projects remained in development stages, contributing to sustained pricing pressures throughout the reporting period.
North America: Consistent demand from healthcare and semiconductor industries contributed to pricing support, while critical applications in medical imaging, aerospace engineering, and semiconductor manufacturing with limited available alternatives sustained consumption requirements. Helium demand is set to double by 2035 amid the technology boom, with major economies designating helium as a critical resource. Strategic stockpiling considerations and continued upward pressure driving investment in conservation technologies influenced the positive pricing movement observed during the period.

The global helium industry size reached 175.27 Million Cubic Metres in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 230.69 Million Cubic Metres, at a projected CAGR of 2.95% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising demand for renewable fuels, increasing biofuel blending mandates, growing industrial and pharmaceutical applications, expansion of sustainable energy initiatives, and supportive government policies.
Helium is a colorless, odorless, inert noble gas widely used in various industrial applications. It ranks among the most critical elements in global consumption due to its unique low boiling point, non-reactivity, and lightness. Helium is essential in cryogenics, particularly for cooling superconducting magnets in MRI machines, and in controlled atmospheres for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. Additionally, it serves in welding, leak detection, and as a lifting gas in balloons and aerospace applications. Its high purity and inert properties make it indispensable in scientific research and medical applications, enhancing safety, performance, and operational efficiency across industries.
