Helium is not publicly traded, with agreements negotiated privately between buyers and sellers, so pricing is often difficult to establish. But it is clear that demand is growing and supply is extremely volatile. One of the industry’s leading consulting firms, Akap Energy, values the global helium production market to be worth US$1.5billion on a price assumption of US$250 thousand cubic feet (mcf) — but, end user pricing could have been up to x4 times higher in 2022.
