Air Products , Linde and Air Liquide as well as the privately owned company Zephyr Solutions are among the largest helium producers in the world.

According to a report by market research company IDTechEx, global demand for helium is expected to almost double by 2035, mainly due to increasing demand from the semiconductor industry, as there are no viable alternatives.

According to the report published in August, global demand for the gas, which is widely used in manufacturing due to its cooling and inert properties, could exceed 322 million cubic meters by 2035.

WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT The global semiconductor market is expected to grow by 13.1 percent by 2024, according to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, with strong demand for artificial intelligence applications.

Helium is essential for thermal management in semiconductor production and there are currently no viable alternatives.

As the gas is a finite resource, total global reserves could run out much faster due to increasing demand from industries such as AI, quantum computing, telecommunications, aerospace and electric vehicles, the report states.

CONTEXT Production of helium, the second lightest element after hydrogen, is expected to increase as Qatar and Russia ramp up production, the report said. However, there is no guarantee of uninterrupted supply due to geopolitical tensions, the report adds.
