Market Overview

Rare gases are also known as noble or inert gases. Inert gases such as helium, neon, krypton, and xenon are considered rare gases. These elements are abundant in the Earth's atmosphere, but their electron configuration renders them mostly inactive under normal conditions. Rare gases are non-metallic, colorless or light blue in appearance, and have very low reactivity with other atoms/molecules under normal conditions. Noble gases are also used in medical applications, such as Nobel lasers for ophthalmic and cosmetic surgery, as well as dermatological treatments. Xeon gas is used in plasma televisions. They are also used in the aviation and aerospace industries as spacecraft propulsion systems. Prices for rare gases are heavily influenced by conventional gas prices. Nobel gases are extracted from the air using cryogenic separation and purification. Prices for rare gases fall as hydrogen and nitrogen gas prices rise.

Driving Factors

Rare gases, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, are gaining popularity in the automotive industry due to their distinct properties and versatility. For example, argon, which has excellent thermal insulation properties, is widely used in airbags and welding processes in automotive manufacturing. Xenon, with its high lumen efficiency and low power consumption, is used in high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps for vehicle headlights to improve visibility and safety on the road. Furthermore, helium is a key component in leak detection systems for critical components such as fuel tanks, cooling systems, and air conditioning units. Its low molecular weight and inert nature make it an excellent candidate for detecting even the smallest leaks. This is critical to the overall safety and reliability of automotive systems. These diverse applications demonstrate the increasing importance of rare gases in the automotive industry. As the automotive sector grows, driven by factors such as increased automobile production and a push for energy-efficient lighting solutions, demand for rare gases is expected to rise even further.

Restraining Factors

The fluctuating United States market prices of these gases are a critical factor limiting U.S rare gases market growth. Except for helium, the prices of all inert gases are individually negotiated by consumers and producers. Regional competition, volume required, contract duration, energy costs, air separation unit operating duration, and transportation distance all have an impact on the product's costs.

Market Segment

• In 2023, the neon segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the type, the United States rare gases market is segmented into neon, krypton, and xenon. Among these, the neon segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Neon, a noble gas found in the Earth's atmosphere, is well-known for its distinctive red-orange glow when used in lighting. This distinguishing characteristic, combined with its color stability, high visibility, and low reactivity, makes neon an excellent choice for a variety of applications. Whether it's illuminating storefronts, making eye-catching signs, or adding a pop of color to architectural designs, neon has become synonymous with captivating visual displays.

• In 2023, the electronics segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States rare gases market is segmented into automotive, electronics, consumer durables, construction, and others. Among these, the electronics segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Rare gases, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, have found numerous applications in the electronics industry due to their unique properties. For example, neon, with its vibrant glow, is widely used in advertising lighting and signage to create captivating visual displays that catch the eye. Helium, on the other hand, has a low boiling point and is essential for cooling superconducting magnets in MRI scanners, ensuring optimal performance and accuracy.
