Helium Market Update & CK Supply’s Commitment to Our Customers

As global helium market conditions continue to evolve, we want to keep our customers informed and share how CK Supply is responding to ensure reliable service and support.

What’s Happening in the Helium Market

Recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East have impacted a portion of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity. Because helium is primarily produced as a by-product of LNG, this disruption is expected to influence global helium supply over time.

While the effects are not yet fully felt across the market, industry experts anticipate a gradual tightening of supply in the coming weeks and months. The market had previously been in a position of oversupply, which is currently helping offset the disruption—but that balance is expected to shift.

As conditions evolve, customers may begin to see:

• Tighter supply availability
• Allocation measures from producers
• Gradual increases in pricing

Our Commitment to You

At CK Supply, our top priority is supporting our existing customer base with dependable supply and consistent service.

We are actively working to:

• Secure and maintain supply through our established supplier network
• Manage inventory responsibly to support our current customers
• Provide clear, timely communication as market conditions change

Our focus is to ensure that our customers can continue operating with confidence, even as the market adjusts.

What This Means for You

While helium remains available, the market is becoming more dynamic. As a result:

• Availability and pricing may change over time
• Advance planning and communication will become increasingly important
• Our team will work closely with you to support your specific needs
