The industrial gas market in 2025 is entering a period of demand exploration, with seeking new breakthroughs in demand becoming key to enhancing market share in the future. The demand in traditional downstream sectors such as steel, chemicals, and machinery manufacturing is gradually flattening, and the market focus will shift to exploring new demand in emerging fields like new energy and carbon neutrality. At the same time, the production capacity of bulk gases continues to grow steadily, and under limited market profit margins, mergers and acquisitions and the extension of industrial chains are progressing rapidly. Market participants in the bulk gas industry are also starting to explore new strategies for business operations and development.

In 2025, the global helium market supply structure is facing a period of deep transformation, with newly added helium resources providing market players with ample competitive opportunities. The rapid expansion of market size will drive the helium market toward standardization and regulation, which also presents huge business opportunities. The Asian helium market, as the primary growth region for global helium demand in the future, is becoming the focal point for market players. Currently, China has become the world's second-largest helium consumption market, with an annual consumption exceeding 27 million cubic meters, and demand is expected to further increase in the future. According to Longzhong Information, China’s helium production capacity exceeded 10 million cubic meters in 2024, and future domestic production capacity is expected to exceed 20 million cubic meters. The Chinese helium market is expected to not only meet domestic demand but also achieve some helium exports in the future. The steady development of the rare gas industry in key technological fields such as semiconductors, photovoltaics, and aerospace indicates a promising future for the industry. As one of the world’s major consumption and supply centers, the Asia-Pacific region plays an indispensable role in driving industry development. Furthermore, the region’s key role in the global semiconductor industry further strengthens the growth expectations for market demand, signaling significant market expansion in the future.
