Data center is a physical arrangement of networked devices including servers and other networking devices that are used by companies for collection, processing and organizing large volumes of data. Data centers require precision cooling for their data processing as excessive heat generated from the processors can damage the systems, leading to loss of data or interrupted flow of information. In order to prevent such damages and keep the environment at a regulated temperature, cooling systems are deployed in data centers. Data center cooling systems are used to maintain precision temperature and control humidity of the data center. They ensure that the temperature and the humidity levels are maintained within the prescribed parameters.

The huge surge in structured and unstructured data and the increasing industrial demand for cloud storage have driven the demand for data centers in the Asia-Pacific region, thereby fuelling the growth for data center cooling systems. However, huge installation cost of infrastructure and electricity consumption are few factors that proves to be restraints for the data center cooling market in Asia-Pacific. Introduction of greener and energy-efficient cooling solutions by service providers is expected to reduce the cost of installation and overcome the limitations of the market. In addition, replacement of old data centers has created opportunities for the growth of the Asia-Pacific data center cooling market.
