Core Viewpoint - The situation in the Strait of Hormuz significantly impacts the supply chain of helium and specialty gases, which are crucial for the scientific instrument industry. Companies in this sector need to closely monitor developments and strategically plan their procurement schedules [1][2]. Helium Supply Chain - Qatar is a major helium producer, accounting for approximately 30% of global production, with nearly all exports passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Helium is essential for the operation of high-end scientific instruments such as nuclear magnetic resonance machines and gas chromatography devices [3]. - Iran has a production capacity for neon gas, holding a global market share of about 15%-20%. Neon is a key raw material for scientific instruments [3]. Logistics and Transportation - If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for an extended period, ships would need to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, adding approximately 8-10 days to the Asia-Europe shipping route [8]. - This delay could affect the timely delivery of high-priority scientific instruments and components, particularly those related to biological sample testing and production line equipment [9]. - Some shipping companies have announced emergency surcharges due to the situation, leading to noticeable fluctuations in container shipping rates on the Asia-Europe route [9]. Industry Response and Adaptation - Companies are diversifying their procurement sources by establishing partnerships with multiple gas suppliers to mitigate risks. Domestic helium resource development is also underway, with companies like PetroChina and Sinopec building helium extraction facilities [10]. - Optimizing inventory management for critical materials like liquid helium and specialty gases is becoming standard practice, with companies maintaining safety stock and planning procurement 2-3 months in advance [10]. - The adoption of technologies such as zero-evaporation helium technology and helium recovery systems is progressing, which can reduce dependency on continuous helium supply [10]. Market Sentiment and Price Fluctuations - The market sentiment may lead to short-term price volatility for specialty gases, although actual supply impacts will depend on the duration of the current geopolitical tensions. If the closure of the Strait is temporary, the effects will be limited [6][10].
