The Middle East Heliox market 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 2024-2030. This growth trajectory reflects the region’s expanding applications in medical therapies and underwater operations, though market penetration remains constrained by specialized use cases and regulatory complexities.
Heliox, a precisely blended breathing gas of helium and oxygen, serves critical functions in respiratory distress treatment and deep-sea diving operations. The Middle East has seen notable adoption in neonatal care and COPD management, particularly in UAE and Saudi Arabia’s advanced hospital networks. Meanwhile, infrastructure projects like Dubai’s offshore developments drive commercial diving demand.

Market Overview & Regional Landscape
UAE commands 42% of regional market share thanks to world-class healthcare infrastructure and thriving commercial diving sectors. Saudi Arabia follows with 28%, where Vision 2030 healthcare investments are expanding critical care capabilities. Qatar’s market grows steadily around its LNG infrastructure maintenance needs, while Kuwait shows rising adoption in pediatric respiratory units.
The GCC collectively accounts for 89% of regional consumption, with Israel emerging as a notable innovator in portable heliox delivery systems. North Africa represents untapped potential, though distribution challenges persist outside major urban centers. Market growth correlates strongly with healthcare expenditure, currently expanding at 6.8% annually across the region.
Key Market Drivers and Emerging Opportunities
Three primary forces shape market expansion: First, heightened prevalence of respiratory conditions – severe asthma cases grew 18% regionally since 2020. Second, underwater construction for oil/gas and renewable energy projects requiring saturation diving. Third, technological advances enabling safer administration and improved patient outcomes.
Emerging applications show particular promise: hyperbaric medicine adoption grew 23% last year, while diving support for offshore wind farms presents new commercial opportunities. The shift towards compact delivery systems (a 31% sales increase in 2023) enables broader clinical use beyond tertiary hospitals. Medical旅游业应用中，便携式系统的份额预计将从2023年的28%上升至2030年的43%。
Market Challenges and Constraints
Helium supply volatility presents the most pressing challenge, with 78% of regional supply imported. Prices fluctuated 14-22% annually since 2021, compelling hospitals to implement conservation protocols. Regulatory hurdles also persist – while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have standardized heliox therapy protocols, other markets lack clear guidelines, slowing adoption.
Equipment costs remain prohibitive for smaller clinics, with complete delivery systems averaging $28,000-$45,000. Commercial diving operations face compressed schedules due to helium costs, while treatment durations are sometimes limited in public healthcare systems. These economic factors currently restrict market penetration despite clear clinical benefits.
