Global Data Center Cooling Equipment Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2026-2032
Description
The global Data Center Cooling Equipment market size is predicted to grow from US$ 10871 million in 2025 to US$ 31660 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2026 to 2032.
Data center cooling equipment includes systems like CRAC/CRAH units, chillers, cooling towers, and liquid cooling systems (e.g., direct-to-chip, immersion), all designed to remove heat generated by servers and IT hardware to maintain optimal operating temperatures, using methods such as air circulation, chilled water, or coolants to ensure efficient operation and prevent damage.
Explosive growth of data traffic, cloud computing, and AI workloads is the primary driver of the data center cooling equipment market. Hyperscale cloud services, generative AI training, AI inference, and high-performance computing (HPC) have dramatically increased server power density, with racks moving from traditional 5–10 kW to 30–50 kW and even 100 kW+ in AI clusters. As IT heat density rises, conventional room-level cooling becomes insufficient, directly driving demand for more advanced cooling equipment such as high-capacity CRAH systems, in-row cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, and especially liquid-cooling solutions. Cooling is no longer a supporting system but a core enabler of compute scalability, making cooling equipment investment grow in parallel with data center capacity expansion.
Energy efficiency and sustainability requirements are accelerating the adoption of advanced and high-efficiency cooling technologies. Cooling typically accounts for 30–40% of a data center’s total energy consumption, so operators face strong economic pressure to reduce power usage effectiveness (PUE). At the same time, governments, regulators, and enterprise customers are imposing stricter carbon-reduction and energy-efficiency targets. This is driving rapid uptake of free cooling, high-temperature chilled water systems, indirect evaporative cooling, and intelligent control systems that optimize airflow and cooling capacity in real time. As a result, demand is shifting away from basic air-conditioning toward more sophisticated cooling architectures that lower operating costs and improve sustainability metrics.
The structural shift toward edge computing and modular data centers is expanding the addressable market for diverse cooling equipment types. Beyond hyperscale facilities, growth in edge data centers supporting 5G, IoT, content delivery, and industrial digitalization is creating demand for compact, modular, and rapidly deployable cooling solutions. These sites often operate in space-constrained or harsh environments and require integrated, high-reliability cooling systems with minimal maintenance. This trend supports market growth across a broad range of products, including packaged cooling units, micro-module cooling systems, and hybrid air-and-liquid solutions, reinforcing long-term demand for flexible and application-specific data center cooling equipment.
