Global Helium Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019 Featuring Qatargas, RasGas, Gazprom, and Poland Oil and Gas Company
M2 - Mon Jun 23, 3:44AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sttdwf/global_helium) has announced the addition of the "Global Helium Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019" report to their offering. According to the report 'Global Helium Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019', the global helium market revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of about 8% through 2019. However, in volume terms, global helium market is projected to grow at a relatively lower CAGR. In 2013, the United States led the helium market in terms of production, followed by Qatar, Algeria, Russia, Poland and Australia. Over the forecast period, the consumption of helium is expected to radically increase in Asia-Pacific on account of growing semiconductor manufacturing industry and rapidly advancing healthcare sector in the region. Few of the major players operating in the global helium market include Qatargas, RasGas, Gazprom, and Poland Oil and Gas Company. Unlike other industrial gases, helium cannot be harvested from atmospheric air. Helium is predominantly extracted during natural gas processing. Only a handful of countries are involved in helium production as helium content in natural gas varies according to the geographies. The report briefs about crucial role that helium plays in certain applications such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment, wherein helium is used for reducing the temperature of magnetic coils, which makes them to behave as a superconductors. Furthermore, due to its chemical inertness and non-flammability, helium is ideal for use as a purge gas in satellite launch vehicles. Other applications of helium include leak detection, wherein the small atomic size of helium facilitates detection of even miniscule cracks through a mass spectrometer. Key Topics Covered: 1. Research Methodology 2. Analyst View 3. Global Helium Market Outlook 4. Americas Helium Outlook 5. Europe Helium Market Outlook 6. Asia-Pacific Helium Market Outlook 7. Middle East & Africa Helium Market Outlook 8. Drivers & Constraints 9. Trends & Developments 10. Policy & Regulatory Framework 11. Competitive Landscape 12.
