The Middle East Heliox market size was valued at US$ 18.7 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 25.3 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. This steady growth trajectory reflects increasing adoption across medical and industrial applications, though the market faces unique regional challenges.
Heliox, a carefully calibrated mixture of helium and oxygen, serves critical functions in respiratory medicine and deep-sea diving operations. Its unique properties reduce airway resistance in medical treatments while preventing decompression sickness in commercial diving – applications that are gaining traction across Middle Eastern healthcare systems and offshore industries.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
The UAE and Saudi Arabia collectively command over 60% of regional heliox consumption, driven by advanced healthcare infrastructure and active offshore oilfield operations. While medical applications dominate current usage, increasing investments in maritime infrastructure projects across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are creating new industrial demand pockets.
Qatar demonstrates exceptional growth potential following massive LNG facility expansions, requiring extensive underwater maintenance. Meanwhile, Israel’s robust medical technology sector continues to innovate with heliox applications in neonatal care and respiratory therapy. North African markets remain underpenetrated but show early signs of adoption in hospital critical care units.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market’s expansion stems from three converging trends: rising respiratory disease prevalence, expanding offshore energy operations, and growing medical tourism in the region. With COPD rates in some Gulf states exceeding global averages, specialized respiratory treatments utilizing heliox have become essential. Simultaneously, the Middle East’s position as an energy hub necessitates extensive underwater pipeline maintenance and inspection activities.
Emerging opportunities include the development of portable heliox delivery systems for emergency medical response and the integration of advanced monitoring technologies in diving applications. The push toward medical tourism in Dubai and Abu Dhabi also creates demand for specialized respiratory treatments utilizing heliox mixtures.
Challenges & Restraints
Market growth faces headwinds from helium supply volatility and regional energy transition policies. As a byproduct of natural gas production, heliox availability remains tied to hydrocarbon extraction activities that face changing regulatory landscapes. Furthermore, the high cost of medical-grade helium mixtures continues to limit adoption in cost-sensitive markets.
Logistical challenges in maintaining cold chain storage for heliox cylinders and the lack of regional helium production facilities create additional supply chain complexities. These factors combine to create pricing pressures that may constrain market expansion in price-sensitive applications.
