Global Liquid to Liquid Coolant Distribution Units (CDU) Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Liquid to Liquid Coolant Distribution Units (CDU) market size is expected to reach $ 2982 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 18.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) is an essential component in liquid cooling systems that distribute coolant or water evenly throughout the system. The CDU regulates and controls the flow of coolant, maintaining the desired temperature and flow rate. It works in conjunction with pumps, radiators, heat exchangers, and control units to ensure the cooling system runs smoothly and efficiently. The CDU also helps keep the system clean by removing impurities from the coolant, preventing clogging and damage to other components in the system. Liquid to Liquid CDUs require facility water to remove heat from rack and row equipment but come with a battery of benefits to offset added system complexity. Fully liquid cooled data center maximizes energy efficiency from the higher heat capacity of liquid throughout the data center. These liquid cooling systems enable smaller footprints and lower total cost of ownership, ideal for artificial intelligence and advanced analytics, blockchain and cryptocurrency, mainframe and gaming servers, and supercomputer applications.
In 2025, global sales of Liquid to Liquid Coolant Distribution Units reached approximately 33 K units, with an average global market price of around US$ 26 K/unit. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 30% to 50%.
Coolant distribution unit (CDU) is a system that enables smaller, more efficient, more precise liquid cooling in a data center at rack level, often integrating facility water. The CDU circulates coolant in a closed loop system within the rack on the secondary (Cooling Application) side and utilizes facility water on the primary (Heat Rejection) side. A CDU has a pump, reservoir, power supply, control board and a heat-exchanger as the key components. Filters, flow meters, pressure transducers, and other devices are also used in managing the operation of the CDU in conjunction with the Server Rack.
With data center workloads ever increasing due to advanced analytics, AI, and the digitization of every process, the average rack power draw has shot up considerably. And, as we know, with more power draw comes more waste heat that needs to be removed from the rack and eventually the white space. Based on this, liquid cooling technology is gradually replacing traditional air cooling technology to provide high performance solutions to data centers. As a key part of liquid cooling system, CDU will benefit from the permeability of liquid cooling in data centers accordingly.
Liquid to Liquid CDUs yield the best cooling performance. However, they require installing pipes and pumps to connect to the facility's water.
