The data center cooling market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $16.97 billion in 2024 to $19.74 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid growth in data centers, high-density computing, energy efficiency concerns, regulatory compliance, globalization of data storage, increased heat load per rack.
The data center cooling market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to renewable energy integration, focus on water conservation, heat recovery systems, modular data center solutions, integration of immersive cooling. Major trends in the forecast period include liquid cooling solutions, free cooling techniques, AI-driven cooling management, high-density cooling systems, edge data center cooling solutions, and cooling-as-a-service models.
Rising global temperatures are anticipated to significantly drive the growth of the data center cooling market during the forecast period. This increase in global temperatures is primarily attributed to factors such as heightened greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, deforestation, industrial processes, and the combustion of fossil fuels, which intensify the greenhouse effect and trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Data center cooling systems are becoming increasingly vital in addressing the challenges posed by rising temperatures, as they help maintain optimal operating conditions for servers and prevent overheating in facilities that demand high energy consumption. For instance, a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information published in June 2023 indicated that global surface temperatures recorded by NOAA reached 1.0 °C (1.8 °F) above the average, making it the fourth-warmest April in their 174-year record. This represents a notable increase compared to the 0.85 °C (1.53 °F) observed in April 2022. Therefore, the rise in global temperatures is expected to fuel the demand for data center cooling solutions in the future.
The increasing adoption of cloud computing is projected to drive the growth of the data center cooling market in the coming years. Cloud adoption refers to the process in which individuals, organizations, or businesses integrate cloud computing services and resources into their existing IT infrastructure and operations. Effective data center cooling is crucial for the smooth functioning of cloud services, contributing to improved performance, reliability, cost efficiency, and sustainability objectives. For example, a report from Eurostat in December 2023 indicated that 45.2% of EU businesses had acquired cloud computing services for accessing software, processing power, storage capacity, and other resources. Thus, the rising adoption of cloud computing is a significant factor propelling the growth of the data center cooling market.
Prominent players in the data center cooling sector are introducing novel products such as immersion cooling fluids to bolster their market competitiveness and profitability. These specialized fluids are utilized in immersion cooling systems within data centers to absorb and disperse heat produced by electronic hardware, such as servers. In October 2023, ExxonMobil Corporation, a leading US-based natural gas company, unveiled its range of data center immersion cooling fluids. Engineered for optimal energy efficiency and performance, ExxonMobil's fluids offer a diverse selection of synthetic and non-synthetic options with varying thermal capacities. These fluids are tailored to lower viscosity for effective heat dissipation while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of materials, thereby supporting extended equipment lifespan. The utilization of immersion cooling fluids is pivotal for liquid cooling in data centers, aiming to augment energy efficiency, curtail water usage, and boost rack density, consequently claiming to reduce the total cost of ownership for IT equipment by up to 40%.
Prominent entities within the data center cooling sector are introducing innovative solutions such as immersion cooling technology to drive their market profitability. This technology involves submerging crucial IT hardware, including servers and electronic components, in a non-conductive liquid coolant to effectively disperse heat generated during their operation.
