Research Analysis Overview

The medical industry's reliance on helium for Magnet cooling in MRI machines is significant, particularly for diagnosing breathing disorders like asthma and emphysema, which are increasingly prevalent due to an aging population and lifestyle diseases. Health insurance companies cover MRI examinations for these conditions, driving up demand for this natural resource. The semiconductor and aviation industries also use helium in pulmonary treatment, breathing observation, and various applications. Scientific research, space exploration, national defense, and medical technology further boost helium's demand. However, the world's helium supply comes mainly from natural gas reservoirs, and the increasing demand may lead to a helium shortage. Other industries, such as MRI machines, CT scanners, and scientific research, also consume helium. This inert gas is essential for neurology, lung diseases, and respiratory ailments treatment. Moreover, helium's uses extend beyond medical applications, including rocket engine testing, surveillance aircraft, and air-to-air missile guidance. The high health expenditure necessitates a sustainable and reliable helium supply.
