There is a market shortage of helium but shouldn't be:

There's also helium in methane, but unfortunately few places crack out the helium from natural gas.

TIL Helium kills Kudzu and powers fusion power plants.

It is the four layers of resources, each one is smaller than the next.

1. What is the total theoretical resource?

2. How much of it do we actually now the location of

3. How much is technically recoverable?

4. And most importantly, how much is economically viable?

The last one is really the crux of the problem nowadays, there is a lot of helium but most of it just isn't in a high enough quantity to make the investment to built processing for it. Thus most of it just float off into space.

There will come a point when the price hits high enough to justify the cost but that also means higher costs to the end user.

The OP is about helium on an exoplanet. That's unlikely to impact helium supplies on Earth.

> Helium kills Kudzu

That right there is reason enough to try to synthesize it in massive quantities.
