In May 2025, WENKH officially released the “Global Helium Liquefier Market Competitors, Segment Types and Downstream Applications Research Report 2025”. Against the backdrop of continuous global industrial development and rising demand from emerging energy and high-tech sectors, helium liquefiers—key equipment for converting gaseous helium into its liquid state—are gaining increased market attention. This report focuses on the helium liquefier industry, providing comprehensive and in-depth market analysis and trend insights for industry players, investors, and professionals throughout the value chain.
A helium liquefier is a specialized cryogenic system designed to convert helium gas into liquid form at extremely low temperatures. This process involves a sequence of compression, cooling, and expansion stages to achieve the necessary conditions for liquefaction. The resulting liquid helium is then stored for use in various applications, such as cooling MRI machines, research facilities, and superconducting magnets in other cryogenic systems.
A helium liquefier typically comprises components such as compressors, heat exchangers, and expansion turbines, which manage the complex thermodynamic processes involved in helium liquefaction. Due to its extremely low boiling point, liquid helium is a highly valuable resource for maintaining ultra-low temperatures in scientific and industrial environments. Helium’s unique physical properties make it indispensable for certain specialized applications.
According to WENKH research, the global demand for liquid helium is growing rapidly, driven by the widespread adoption of cryogenic technologies in scientific and medical fields. This surge in demand is accelerating the expansion of the helium liquefier market.
The increasing development of cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has further highlighted the importance of liquid helium as a core cooling medium. As a result, demand for helium liquefaction systems is expected to grow in tandem.
The global helium liquefier market is projected to reach USD 239.94 million in 2025, and is forecasted to expand to USD 373.60 million by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.53% during the 2025–2032 period.
