Within the automotive industry, cooling systems are indispensable for temperature regulation in various components, ensuring optimal engine performance. As an illustration, in 2021, global automotive production reached 79.1 million, marking a 1.3% increase from the previous year, as reported by The European Automobile Manufacturers Association. Moreover, a February 2023 report from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) indicated a global production of over 68 million passenger automobiles in 2022, reflecting a notable 7.9% growth from the previous year. This surge in cooling system usage within the automotive sector is identified as a key driver for the industrial cooling systems market.

The industrial cooling systems market is poised for growth, propelled by an increasing emphasis on integrating renewable energy sources. Renewable energy, derived from naturally replenished sources on a human timescale and deemed environmentally sustainable, is gaining prominence. Industrial cooling systems play a pivotal role in maintaining optimal operating temperatures, contributing to the performance, longevity, and reliability of renewable energy systems. This, in turn, facilitates their successful integration and widespread adoption. Notably, as of January 2023, the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, projects that 16% of total energy generation in 2023 will originate from renewable sources such as wind and solar, up from 14% in 2022. The growing focus on the integration of renewable energy sources is identified as a key driver for the industrial cooling systems market.

The industrial cooling systems market is witnessing a significant trend towards product innovation, with major companies actively engaged in the development of cutting-edge products featuring advanced technologies. Notably, in February 2022, Honeywell, a prominent US-based performance materials and technology company, introduced Solstice E-Cooling. This groundbreaking platform encompasses liquid heat transfer agents, offering enhanced efficiency in cooling high-performance electronics when compared to traditional methods employing air and water. Leveraging a two-phase liquid cooling technology, Solstice E-Cooling not only cools electrical applications effectively but also minimizes environmental impact. The technology delivers more uniform and energy-efficient cooling, superior heat rejection, and reduced pumping power.

Major players in the industrial cooling systems market are strategically introducing aircraft cooling systems to augment their market profitability. These systems play a critical role in regulating and managing temperatures within various aircraft systems and components. For instance, in June 2021, FCS Finland Oy, a Finland-based manufacturer of aircraft ground maintenance equipment, unveiled the AFC-22. This innovative aircraft cooling system revolutionizes maintenance practices by swiftly cooling engines, thereby minimizing downtime. Featuring a unique design with custom-fit adapters for various engines, the AFC-22 accelerates hot section maintenance, reducing cooling time from hours to a mere 45 minutes. The eco-friendly AFC-22e variant enhances operational efficiency with a rechargeable battery, offering an extended 16-hour operation window.
