Your assessment of the global helium business in 2024 likely depends on who you’re speaking to. The general consensus is, that Helium Shortage 4.0 is definitively over and the market is returning to some sense of balance. Others, however, will tell you that any shortages have never really abated. At the very least, it’s a finely poised state-of-play.
This is also an international industry with so many wider talking points. Why pursue non-hydrocarbon-based helium, for example? Where are the current helium hotspots, and what does the future sourcing and supply map look like? What does the applications outlook have in store for the period to 2030, and beyond? What impact of the European Union’s 14th sanctions package against Russia and a ban on imports of Russian helium into the EU? These are all topics and questions that will be addressed at the Helium Super Summit 2024 in Houston, Texas from October 28-30, the first and only dedicated helium event that captures all angles, insights and perspectives on the global helium business today.
