Air Liquide announced a short-term helium shortage due to the Middle East conflict, planning to reallocate supplies from other regions. Armelle Levieux, the group's vice president, noted that QatarEnergy declared force majeure, impacting helium production as it is a byproduct of natural gas. The announcement coincided with the opening of a new advanced materials factory in Taichung, Taiwan, where Air Liquide supports the semiconductor industry. Taiwan's Economy Ministry stated that helium supplies remain stable, with imports from the U.S. available.
