The world’s next supply chain crisis?
In tiny amounts, neon is invisible in the atmosphere. It is colourless and odourless. However, it may soon be apparent by its absence because the war in Ukraine interrupts vital industrial supplies. Ukraine is home to half of the world’s high purity neon. This neon is used for lasers that create patterns on microchips in consumer electronics like smartphones, cars and fridges.
Russia’s onslaught forced Odesa and Mariupol factories to close. However, ripples have been sent through supply chains around the globe. According to reports, the annexation by Russia of Crimea in 2014 triggered a sixfold rise in neon prices from $1,000 per bottle to $6,000.
