(MENAFN- America News Hour) The Global Helium Market size was estimated to be 6,688 million cubic feet
and the market is projected to register a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period
However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the aerospace industry took a severe blow, which resulted in the contraction of the aerospace industry in recent times, which negatively affected the growth prospects of helium in aerospace applications. Moreover, aircraft manufacturing companies have also been witnessing a decline in the number of orders compared to previous years, with many aviation companies cutting down on their previous orders. For instance, in July 2020, Avolon canceled its additional 27 Boeing 737 MAX planes order, after it already canceled about 75 of the jet orders in April, with the COVID-19 pandemic affecting its operations. Such trends may impact the new orders during the short and medium term as a result of changes in aviation companies' investment plans. Similarly, the slowing down of R&D activities due to the economic slowdown and lockdowns due to the COVID 19 outbreak has negatively impacted the growth of the electronics and semiconductor industry in the short term, and thereby the global helium market have been affected adveresely.

– On the medium term, increasing consumption of helium in the electronics and semiconductor industry and the growing usage in the healthcare industry is likely to stimiulate the market demand. There is a high demand for modern electronic products due to the rapid pace of innovation, the advancement of technology, and R&D activities in the electronics industry. The growth in the number of manufacturing plants and development centers, focusing on high-end products is expected to drive the market studied.
– However, on the flip-side the high cost of the extraction process and the stringent government regulations concerning helium use are likely to hinder the growth of the market studied.
Key Market Trends
Healthcare Sector to Dominate the Market
– Helium has a wide range of uses in the healthcare industry. It can reach a temperature of -269° C, making liquid helium the best option for cooling the magnets of MRI machines. Helium is also being used for breathing observation. It is an essential component in treating emphysema, asthma, and other conditions that affect breathing.
– The gas is usually used to treat lung diseases. Oxygen and helium are used together for the treatment of acute and chronic forms of respiratory ailments, as the combination reaches the lungs faster than all the others. There is no substitute for helium in cryogenic helium applications.
– The demand for helium in the healthcare sector is increasing, owing to the rising demand for MRI scans. MRI has also seen growing applications in cancer screening and neurology.
– Geographically, helium finds the largest amount of use in the North American healthcare sector. The United States and Canada spend a major share of their GDP on healthcare. The Medicaid enrollment rate in the United States increased in 2019, owing to the Affordable Care Act and implementation of continuous Medicaid expansion. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak is expected to contribute to the projected increase in healthcare spending, thereby, increasing the demand for the helium market in the forthcoming years.
North America Region to Dominate the Market
– North America accounted for the largest share of the market, with the United States alone consuming a share of 30% of the global market.
– The US electronics market is the largest market in the world, in terms of size. Furthermore, it is expected to remain the leading market over the forecast period, due to the application of advanced technology, an increase in the number of R&D centers and increasing demand from the consumers.
– There is a significant increase in the number of manufacturing plants and development centers in the United States, primarily due to the focus on developing high-end products. This is expected to boost the demand for helium over the forecast period.

– Moreover, the United States has the largest aerospace industry in the world. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the total active general aviation fleet is expected to increase from 212,885 in 2018 to 211,575 aircraft by 2039, owing to the growth in air cargo. This is likely to increase the usage of helium in the country.
– Additionally, MRI diagnostics is a growing field, both in terms of the number of installed scanners and the number of scans being performed. Based on data by OECD, the United States is one of the leaders in MRI, second only to Japan, both in terms of availability and utilization.
Competitive Landscape
The global market for helium is highly consolidated, with the top five players accounting for over 75% of the total market. The major players in the market include Air Liquide, Linde plc, Matheson Tri-Gas Inc., Iwatani Corporation, and Messer Group, among others.
