Grade-A helium production capacity worldwide in 2018, by region
In 2018, the grade-A helium production capacity in the United States amounted to some 160 million cubic meters. The entire rest of the world's grade-A helium production capacity amounted to just 110 million cubic meters that year, which means that the U.S. has by far the world's largest production capacity.
Grade-A helium is 99.997 percent helium, which is mainly used in cryogenic applications, as well as pressurizing and purging, and to control atmosphere in manufacturing settings, among other lesser uses.
