Global Rare Gas Market is estimated to reach at high CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Market Overview:

Noble or inert gases are other names for rare gases. It is a collection of elements with comparable properties. Neon, helium, argon, krypton, radon and xenon are six uncommon gases naturally. The gases are colorless, odorless, have low/no reactivity, inflammable, tasteless, odorless and volatile, having a wide range of applications, giving them a competitive advantage over ordinary gases. Rare gas uses in specialized markets such as laser technology, window insulations, energy-efficient manufacturing, semiconductors and electronics are likely to boost the market growth.

Market Size Growth Rate:

As per the research report by DataM Intelligence, the global rare gas market size was valued at USD YY billion in 2021; it is projected to reach USD YY billion by 2029, with growth at a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period 2022-2029. The rare gas market includes various applications such as filler gas, loadlock cooling, carrier gas, silicon ingot production, plasma, sputtering, and cryogenic cleaning. The unique property of rare gas is to produce bright light, which may be in the form of a laser (helium/neon laser) or a light source (xenon). Rare gas discharges have focused on intense research for more than a century. On the other hand, low-pressure discharges in rare gases have never been used for general lighting. The most readily excited radiation spectrum is in the VUV and the phosphor conversion efficiency to visible light is inefficient.

Market Drivers:

The rare gas market is driven by the high demand from various industries to replace conventional operations with energy-efficient substitutes. Almost 3.7 billion people generate more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily. The rare gas market is expected to increase significantly, reaching 160 zettabytes per year in 2025, requiring high demand for storage devices. The air in hard drives has been replaced with helium gas. The use of helium reduces the amount of drag, thereby reducing the energy needed to spin the platters by 20%. Companies like Amazon, Google and Facebook require tons of it for massive data centers, surging the demand for the helium-driven territory of zettabytes.

Additionally, the use of gases like krypton is becoming more prevalent in the lighting industry. Now, the auto industry sells headlights that function using krypton. Rare gas is also utilized as a filler in halogen lamps, energy-saving bulbs and gas discharge tubes in lit billboards. The healthcare industry also relies heavily on rare gases. Pharma-grade rare gases are anticipated to meet pharmacopeia criteria to a high degree. Because the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are so concerned with patient safety, high-purity rare gases are in high demand.

Market Restraints:

The high cost of rare gas storage & transportation is projected to restrain the rare gas market expansion. The high cost of transportation and storage associated with the necessity for special preparations influences the market for rare gases. Another significant issue limiting market expansion is the high cost of handling rare gases.

Market Opportunities

The rapidly growing healthcare sector provides vast opportunities for the rare gas market. Helium gas is used in MRI because it boils at 4.2K in liquid form, which is the ideal temperature for superconductive magnet coils in MRI magnets. However, other rare gases have also been recently utilized to identify new areas in MRI technology. UK researchers have taken MRI imaging to the next level with a scanning method that delivers high-resolution images of lung disease and pulmonary tissue. The imaging technique utilizes specially treated krypton gas that can be inhaled and employed as a contrast agent to reveal new lung areas on an MRI scan. 

Unlike other hyperpolarized noble gases, krypton provides pulmonary diagnostics without requiring an MRI scanner. Xenon MRI offers the ability to provide a detailed, quantitative image of the lung’s shape and function. The hyperpolarized gas has been developed to boost the MRI signal, allowing lung function and regional ventilation to be seen on a scan. Xenon MRI can potentially allow for the investigation of pulmonary function in ways that current lung imaging and diagnostic technologies cannot.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic broke out for more than a year, sending shockwaves to virtually every aspect of existence. COVID-19 infectious virions are present on various surfaces (e.g., metals, plastic and cardboard) for several hours. It presents a transmission cycle for the infection that can be broken by designing new inactivation approaches. An efficient cold atmospheric plasma has been used with argon feed gas to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 on various surfaces, including plastic, cardboard, basketball composite leather, football leather, metal and baseball leather.

The results reveal the great potential of CAP as an effective and safe means to prevent virus transmission and infections on surfaces that experience regular human contact. It is a substantial milestone in preventing and treating COVID-19 and presents a new opportunity for the engineering, scientific and medical communities. Global helium markets have been affected by COVID-19 in several ways. The most significant impact has been reduced demand. Initially, China’s second-largest helium market’s demand was reduced greatly when the Chinese economy was put on lockdown.

Market Challenges:

A major challenge in front of the market is the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Various countries were dependent on Ukraine for the supply of rare gases. South Korean companies are continuously monitoring the situation as Western sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine-Russia geopolitical crisis may endanger the supply chains of the country’s key exports such as semiconductors, batteries and automotive. As Korea imports 23% of neon, 30.7% of krypton and 17.8% of xenon from Ukraine, the crisis can push their prices and cause difficulties in their supply chains. Moreover, Top chipmakers in South Korea and Taiwan are reviewing their stockpiles of critical industrial gases after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sparked fears of supply chain disruption that could exacerbate a chip shortage.

Recent Developments in the Industry:

  1. In February 2022, Electronic Fluorocarbons, LLC issued a press release regarding the tensions in Ukraine. Ukraine is one of the world’s biggest providers of rare gases. The company detailed that it had sufficient reserves to meet the demand for 2022 and is taking extra steps to ensure the stability of its supply chain.
  2. In October 2021, Iwatani Corporation’s subsidiary in Thailand announced the construction of the Bangkok Helium Gas Centre in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand. It will expand the industrial gas production capacity, mainly for helium and will strengthen the company’s offerings for the Southeast Asia region.
