The world has observed a severe chip shortage in the last two years. Majors have struggled to meet this skyrocketing demand and this has left many industries in a limbo. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has committed US$44bn towards expanding its production capacity. With an increase in chip manufacturing, we expect to see a steady rise in helium demand (a key component of the manufacturing process) as well. Helium intensity is increasing with the most advanced semiconductor devices.
