China has temporarily banned helium exports in response to escalating US-Iran tensions. The move restricts supply of a critical material used in semiconductor manufacturing, medical imaging, and aerospace applications.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you use helium in chip fabrication, medical devices, or aerospace testing, your supply just got harder to secure at any price. Call your supplier today—China controls 70% of global helium refining, and this ban will hold until US-Iran tensions shift.
