根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據，2024 年全球氦氣市場規模為 39.275 億美元，預計到 2030 年將達到 64.788 億美元，預測期內複合年成長率為 8.7%。

氦氣是一種惰性氣體，屬於元素週期表第 18 族（稀有氣體）。氫是唯一最輕的元素，氦是第二輕的元素。氦氣無色、無臭、無味，在 -268.9°C (-452°F) 的極低溫度下變成液體。令人驚訝的是，它的沸點和凝固點比任何已知物質都低。氦在宇宙中含量豐富，約佔其質量的 23%，使其成為僅次於氫的第二豐富元素。雖然地球大氣中的含量很少（1/200,000），但天然氣中的含量卻很高，尤其是在美國。由於其重量輕，它是固特異飛艇等飛艇充氣的首選氣體。它的沸點是所有元素中最低的，在極低的溫度下可以變成具有超流性、超導性等驚人特性的液體。

根據國際醫學磁振造影學會的數據，超過 1.5 億患者曾接受 MRI 掃描。每年約有 1000 萬患者接受 MRI 檢查。

醫療保健領域的需求不斷增加

氦氣是各種醫療應用中使用的重要元素，包括核磁共振造影系統、低溫儲存、呼吸治療和醫療設備中的洩漏檢測。慢性病的增加、醫學影像技術的進步以及新興市場醫療保健基礎設施的擴張正在推動醫療保健產業對氦氣的需求。使用氦氣冷卻的核磁共振造影系統在診斷成像中越來越普及，尤其是在已開發國家。

蘊藏量和資源有限

氦氣的有限性為其市場蒙上了長長的陰影。與石油和天然氣不同，氦氣是一種埋藏在地下的不可再生資源。一旦提取並釋放，它就會因其重量而逃離地球大氣層。結果，供應量逐漸減少。市場在兩方面都感受到了壓力。隨著資源變得稀缺，價格可能會上漲。其次，除非開發出永續的替代方案，否則核磁共振成像和太空探勘等重要應用在未來可能會受到限制。

擴大電子工業

氦氣在各種電子設備的生產和運作中發揮著重要作用，特別是在半導體和光纖領域。在半導體製造中，氦氣對於微晶片和其他電子元件生產過程中的冷卻和淨化至關重要。該行業對氦氣的需求是由智慧型手機、電腦、汽車電子和物聯網設備中先進半導體技術的日益使用所推動的。此外，氦氣也用於製造通訊網路中高速資料傳輸的光纖，這正在推動市場成長。

開採成本高

從天然氣中提取氦需要複雜的低溫蒸餾和精製過程，需要專門的設備和技術。此外，氦氣提取通常在偏遠地區進行，進一步增加了運輸和物流成本。這些高昂的提取成本增加了整體生產成本，使氦氣成為提取和精製最昂貴的氣體之一。因此，氦氣供應商面臨維持盈利的壓力，同時滿足各行業不斷成長的需求，阻礙了市場成長。

COVID-19 的影響

雖然全球經濟放緩減少了製造業、醫療保健和電子等各行業對氦氣的需求，但由於其在醫療應用中的重要作用，尤其是核磁共振造影系統，醫療保健領域對氦氣的需求相對穩定。然而，停工期間供應鏈中斷和工業活動減少影響了氦氣的生產和分配，導致供應和價格的短期波動。

預計天然氣業務將在預測期內成為最大的業務

由於氦氣在洩漏檢測、氣相層析法、焊接和切割、冷卻和冷凍以及核能等各個領域的日益普及，預計氦氣將在預測期內達到高峰。此外，氦氣在物理、化學和材料科學等領域的科學研究和實驗中也至關重要。氦氣在低溫研究、低溫和高溫研究中發揮重要作用，並在許多分析儀器中用作載氣。

醫療保健領域預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高

醫療保健產業的各個領域的產品使用量正在增加，包括核磁共振造影系統、內視鏡檢查、雷射技術、呼吸混合物、正子和正子斷層掃描 (PET)。氦氣球、繫留氣球和飛艇用於監測和監測目的。它為雷達、攝影機和通訊設備等各種有效載荷提供穩定的平台，並用於邊防安全、軍事監視、災害管理等。

比最大的地區

由於富氦天然氣蘊藏量豐富，預計北美在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。此外，美國也是聯邦氦儲備庫的所在地，該儲備庫成立於 1925 年，是世界上最大的氦倉儲設施之一。該氦庫存透過向各行業供應氦產品，在全球市場中發揮了重要作用。因此，北美擁有成熟的醫療保健產業，在醫療影像設備（主要是磁振造影造影 (MRI)）中使用氦氣。

複合年成長率最高的地區：

由於醫療保健、航太和電子等各行業的高需求，預計歐洲在預測期內將保持最高的複合年成長率。德國擁有生產高品質醫療設備的悠久歷史，專注於精密儀器、診斷成像和光學技術。它是繼美國、日本之後的全球第三大醫療設備市場，在歐洲市場規模是法國的兩倍，義大利、英國、西班牙的三倍。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Helium Market is accounted for $3927.5 million in 2024 and is expected to reach $6478.8 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. Helium is an inert gas found in Group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic table. It is the second lightest element, with only hydrogen being lighter. Helium is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and it becomes a liquid at an incredibly low temperature of -268.9°C (-452°F). Remarkably, its boiling and freezing points are lower than those of any other known substance. Helium is abundant in the universe, constituting about 23% of its mass, second only to hydrogen. While it occurs in Earth's atmosphere in small amounts (1 part in 200,000), significant volumes are found in natural gases, especially in the United States. It's the gas of choice for filling airships like the Goodyear blimp due to its lightness. It has the lowest boiling point of all elements, and it can become a liquid with remarkable properties, such as superfluidity and superconductivity at extremely low temperatures.

According to the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, over 150 million patients underwent MRI examinations. Every year, approximately 10 million patients undergo MRI procedures.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand from healthcare sector

Helium is an essential element used in various medical applications, including MRI machines, cryogenic storage, respiratory therapy, and leak detection in medical devices. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, advancements in medical imaging technologies and the expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets are driving the demand for helium in the healthcare sector. MRI machines, which rely on helium for cooling, are becoming increasingly widespread for diagnostic imaging, particularly in developed countries.

Restraint:

Limited reserves & finite resources

Helium's limited nature casts a long shadow on its market. Unlike oil or natural gas, it's a non-renewable resource trapped underground. Once extracted and released, it escapes Earth's atmosphere due to its lightness. This creates a ticking clock on the supply. The market feels this pinch in two ways. Prices are likely to rise as the resource becomes more scarce. Secondly, crucial applications like MRIs and space exploration face potential future limitations if sustainable alternatives aren't developed.

Opportunity:

Expanding electronics industry

Helium plays a crucial role in the production and operation of various electronic devices, particularly in the semiconductor and fiber optics sectors. In semiconductor manufacturing, helium is essential for cooling and purging during the production of microchips and other electronic components. The demand for helium in this industry is driven by the growing use of advanced semiconductor technologies in smartphones, computers, automotive electronics, and IoT devices. Additionally, helium is used in the production of optical fibers for high-speed data transmission in telecommunications networks which drives the markets growth.

Threat:

High extraction costs

Extracting helium from natural gas involves a complex process of cryogenic distillation and purification, which requires specialized equipment and technology. Additionally, helium extraction often occurs in remote locations, further increasing transportation and logistical costs. These high extraction costs contribute to the overall production expenses, making helium one of the most expensive gases to extract and purify. As a result, helium suppliers face pressure to maintain profitability while meeting the growing demand from various industries impedes the market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

While the global economic slowdown led to reduced demand for helium across various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and electronics, the healthcare sector's demand for helium remained relatively stable due to its essential role in medical applications, particularly in MRI machines. However, supply chain disruptions and decreased industrial activity during lockdowns affected helium production and distribution, leading to short-term fluctuations in supply and prices.

The gas segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The gas is expected to be the largest during the forecast period attributed to increasing product adoption in various areas of applications including leak detection, gas chromatography, welding & cutting, cooling & refrigeration, and in nuclear power, among others. Furthermore, helium gas is indispensable in the realm of scientific research and experimentation, spanning disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, and materials science. It plays a critical role in cryogenic studies, low-& temperature investigations, and serves as a carrier gas in a multitude of analytical instruments.

The medical & healthcare segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The medical & healthcare segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing product usage in various areas of applications in the medical & healthcare sectors, such as MRI machines, endoscopy, laser technology, breathing mixtures, spectroscopy, and in positron emission tomography (PET), among others. Helium-filled aerostats, tethered balloons, or blimps are used for surveillance and monitoring purposes. They provide a stable platform for various payloads, including radar, cameras, and communication equipment, which are used in border security, military surveillance, and disaster management.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the presence of abundant reserves of helium-rich natural gas. In addition, the U.S. is home to the Federal Helium Reserve, which was established in 1925 and is one of the world's largest helium storage facilities. The reserve has played a significant role in the global market by supplying the product to various industries. Hence North America has a well-established healthcare sector that relies on helium for medical imaging equipment, primarily magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the high demand from different sectors, such as healthcare, aerospace, electronics, and others. Germany has a long history of producing high-quality medical equipment, emphasizing precision instruments, diagnostic imaging, and optical technologies. The nation hosts the third-largest medical devices market in the world, after the United States and Japan, and the largest in Europe, comprising twice the size of the French market and three times as large as those of Italy, the United Kingdom, and Spain.
