Major trends in the forecast period include the application of heat recovery systems, adoption of hybrid cooling systems, remote monitoring and maintenance, customization for specific industrial processes, and development of water treatment and filtration solutions.

The increasing use of cooling systems in the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the industrial cooling systems market in the future. Cooling systems, also known as air conditioning or refrigeration systems, are devices or systems that extract heat from an area or material, thereby reducing its temperature. These systems are crucial in the automotive sector for regulating the temperature of various components and ensuring optimal engine performance. For instance, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based organization for motor vehicle manufacturing, reported that the European Union produced 10.9 million passenger cars in 2022, reflecting an 8.3% increase compared to 2021. Therefore, the growing use of cooling systems in the automotive industry is fueling the expansion of 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.

Leading companies in the industrial cooling systems market are introducing innovative products, such as commercial vehicle cooling systems, to enhance performance, improve fuel efficiency, and comply with stricter environmental regulations. Commercial vehicle cooling systems are specifically designed to regulate the temperature of engines and other components in trucks, buses, and other large vehicles, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal performance. For example, in September 2023, Denso Corporation, a Japan-based automotive manufacturer, launched Everycool. Everycool is a compact and energy-efficient cooling system for commercial vehicles, aimed at improving driver comfort when the engine is off. It reduces power consumption by 57% and is compatible with a wide variety of trucks, including medium and large models.

In May 2023, Trane, an Ireland-based equipment manufacturer renowned for its expertise in air conditioning systems and services, completed the acquisition of MTA SpA for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is geared towards fortifying Trane's European presence and augmenting its portfolio, particularly in rental and service provisions for process cooling solutions. Moreover, this move positions Trane to diversify into sustainable air conditioning and air handling solutions tailored for industrial applications, thereby solidifying its standing in the sector. MTA SpA, an Italian company specializing in crafting cooling solutions for the automotive, industrial, and rail industries, aligns with Trane's objectives for expanding its offerings and expertise in the cooling solutions market.
