Companies in the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market are using hybrid imaging technologies such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) for nuclear medical imaging. These hybrid systems provide precise images with better resolution and both morphological and physiological information in just one instance of testing. For instance, a SPECT/CT system for skeletal evaluation offers accurate localization and improves the specificity of information provided by CT. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), USA regulates the manufacture and use of radioactive materials in nuclear imaging devices, as well as radiation therapy and research. It has agreements with 37 US states which allows them to regulate the use of certain radioactive materials by giving licenses to hospitals, clinics, and medical centres. The US-based Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also regulates products and procedures that are radiation-emitting. It reviews the safety and use of radiopharmaceuticals and machines like x-rays, which produce radiation but do not make or use radioactive material.

Helium is a chemical element also known as Nobel gas (inert gas), which is available in natural gas form and can be converted into liquid form by lowering the temperature to below-270 degrees. Helium is an odorless, tasteless, colorless, inert, non-toxic monatomic gas that uses the lowest boiling and melting points. The main types of helium are liquid helium and gaseous helium. Liquid helium is a superfluid; it acts essentially like a fluid with zero viscosity governed by the Euler equations. These are used in applications such as breathing mixes, cryogenics, leak detection, pressurizing and purging, welding, controlled atmosphere, and other applications that are used by end users such as aerospace and aircraft, electronics and semiconductors, nuclear power, healthcare, welding, metal fabrication, and other end-user industries. The helium market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides helium market statistics, including helium industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a helium market share, detailed helium market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the helium industry. This helium market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global helium market size will grow from $4.45 billion in 2022 to $5.03 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global helium market size is expected to grow from $6.48 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.6%. The helium market's growth is expected to be driven by the growing demand from the healthcare industry. Helium is widely used in various disease diagnosis equipment as it has unique properties such as being inert in nature, non-reactive with other elements, noncorrosive and non-flammable. Helium is used in various applications in the healthcare industry, such as adjunct therapy in asthma exacerbation, ARDS, croup, COPD, and bronchiolitis. For instance, helium is utilized in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus to regulate powerful magnets, which are useful for monitoring various conditions within the abdominal, chest, and pelvis. They are also useful in pregnancy diagnosis. Stringent safety regulations associated with the manufacturing and transportation of helium gas have been a major restraint on the market. These substances are toxic and hazardous when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressures. Companies in this industry should invest in equipment, technologies, and processes to limit toxic levels and chemical concentrations. These regulations increased the operating costs of companies in this industry, thus limiting the scope for investments relating to the launch of new products and expansion into new markets, thereby affecting the market growth. The decline of existing helium supply sources, particularly in the US Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) system, is causing industrial gas companies and distributors to seek new sources of helium supply, such as the production of helium from non-hydrocarbon sources. Helium production from non-hydrocarbon sources is a process where helium is produced and sold as either the only revenue stream or one of the key revenue streams. For example, at the Global Helium Summit, Rex Canon, IACX Energy’s CEO, pointed out that "If there were another non-hydrocarbon gas present that could be produced and sold as a commercial product, such as carbon dioxide, gas fields with helium content lower than 0.6% could have been developed for the production and sale of helium as a secondary product." He also mentioned that due to the decline of the BLM supplies, non-hydrocarbon sources of helium were a good alternative to the traditional sources from LNG flash gas and NRU off-gas.
