Fujifilm Corporation is investing ¥6 billion (US$41mm) to expand its Electronic Materials business, with a focus on semiconductor production. The company will establish a production facility for colour filter materials used in image sensors at its Kumamoto site in Japan, aiming for operational readiness by spring 2025. As the semiconductor market anticipates growth in 2024, helium's importance in semiconductor manufacturing remains noteworthy, with Fujifilm's investment contributing to the industry's increased helium demand. Since Japan does not have any domestic production, this increased demand will directly see an increase in imports.
