How to evaluate Helium Business that reduces your logistics costs and supplier risks
Future Trends & Issues - A Global Multi Client Study 2011
As a by product of natural gas extraction, helium is highly dependent on external influences for its supply. Industrial gas companies carefully match supply to demand in order to maximise profitability; production is dependent on the demand for natural gas; and sources are located increasingly in difficult regions of the world.
“Helium – Future Trends and Issues” is an essential tool for anyone interested in acquiring a thorough understanding of the helium industry and its dynamics and is particularly relevant to companies that rely on a dependable supply of helium for their operations and / or for whom helium represents a major cost.
Companies interested in developing a position in the helium supply chain in order to capitalise on the recent increase in helium’s value, such as prospective producers, will also find this study an excellent introduction to the business.
