Key Drivers of Global Helium Market
Rise in investments in the telecommunication sector is boosting the demand for optical fibers across the globe. Optical fibers are used in data transmission and communication services. This enables high-speed data transfer in small- and long-range communications. Helium plays a vital role in the production of optical fibers. These fibers are coated with several different claddings during the drawing process. Claddings are applied using the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process. Helium is mixed with MCVD reactive gases to enhance the thermal gradient and improve the uniformity of claddings. Thus, increase in the demand for optical fibers in the telecommunication industry is estimated to fuel the helium market.

Major Developments in Global Helium Market
On August 30, 2019, Messer Group commissioned a new, large production plant for air gases in Dung Qu?t, a coastal city in the center of Vietnam. The plant is expected to have total processing capacity of 400,000 cubic meters of air per hour.
In March 2019, Messer Group announced its joint venture with CVC Capital Partners, which had acquired a majority stake in Linde's gases business in North America, and certain business activities of Linde and Praxair in South America. The move is anticipated to provide Messer Group with an opportunity to re-enter the industrial gas markets in North and South America.
On April 04, 2019, Iwatani Corporation opened two new helium centers – Tsukuba Gas Center and Yokosuka Gas Center – in Japan. These new centers increased the company's filling capacity by 1.3 times the total existing bases. The company also introduced a highly-efficient helium recovery facility, which is estimated to reduce helium loss by one-eighth of the conventional level.
In November 2016, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation acquired Supagas Holdings Pty Ltd ('Supagas'), an Australia-based industrial gas and LPG company. The acquisition would help the company enhance its penetration in Australia.
In August 2019, Linde Plc. announced the opening of a new gas production facility supplying carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane to Evonik Industries at Jurong Island in Singapore. The new, integrated facility is incorporated with Linde's advanced technologies, which increase plant efficiency, reliability, and environment-related sustainability. The new plant has strengthened Linde's footprint in Jurong Island, positioning it as a preferred industrial gas supplier to the petrochemical sector in Singapore.
