Data Center Cooling Market Statistics: 2027

The global data center cooling market size was valued at $10,541.8 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $27,308.7 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2020 to 2027. Data center cooling is rapidly adopted by data center operators, owing to its eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective nature. Number of data centers are increasing due to increase in use of 4G LTE networks. Therefore, with increase in number of data centers, there is a growth in demand for data center cooling solutions to reduce overall IT cost for data centers.

Data center operators use cooling solutions to maintain temperature in data centers within a permissible limit. Data centers are required to work efficiently 24/7 to process huge chunks of data. In data processing, equipment dissipates heat energy, which generates the need for cooling to prevent equipment from damage due to overheating. Basically, there are two types of cooling systems, air-based or water-based. Through air-based cooling, air is circulated in data centers to maintain temperature. On the other hand, water-based cooling is further bifurcated into immersion cooling and water-cooled racks where liquid coolants flow across hot components to maintain temperature.

Data-Center-Cooling-Market,-2020-2027

By component, the solution segment dominated the data center cooling market in 2019, and is expected to continue its dominance in coming years, owing to increase in number of energy-efficient cooling solutions. Air conditioners under the solution sub-segment had the largest data center cooling market share, owing to its energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, with increase in number of data centers and higher density in data centers, there is a need for efficient cooling. Air conditioners with the help of air ducts circulate air in high-density racks to maintain temperature within permissible limit. However, services in the component segment witnessed highest CAGR in the market, owing to increase in number of service providers for installation & deployment, support & maintenance, and consulting for data center cooling solutions. Data center cooling solutions are required to be installed properly as leakages in cooling could lead to damage of equipment. 

By type of cooling, the room-based cooling segment had the largest market share, owing to effective cooling at less cost. Room-based cooling is anticipated to maintain large market share, owing to least use of pipes and ducts compared to other cooling types. Air-conditioners and other air-based cooling circulate air in data centers to maintain temperature within permissible limit. Room-based cooling is gaining ground due to its energy-efficient cooling.

In addition, number of data centers is rapidly increasing, which has offered enterprises a wide range of data centers to choose from. Data center operators are reducing their price range for hiring enterprises to sustain in the competitive data center cooling market. In the competitive scenario, data centers work 24/7 and generate immense heat, which can cause data loss or breakdown of these centers. Cooling solutions maintain the temperature inside data centers within permissible limits and help them to work without interruption. Energy efficiency of these cooling systems drives adoption of advanced cooling systems among data centers as they use less power makes them cost-effective. Moreover, these cooling systems prevent damage of equipment in data centers reducing the maintenance cost. Hence, advanced cooling systems in data centers drive the market growth, owing to growth in demand for cost-effective data centers 

Green Initiatives for Eco-friendly Data Center Solutions

Climate change and decline in air quality index in many important cities across the globe has led governments of various nations to impose stringent environment regulations for data center solutions. Green initiatives by government bodies is a key growth factor that drives the global data center cooling market. Furthermore, traditional cooling systems emit polluted air into the environment, which is hazardous, whereas advanced cooling systems release less carbon footprint, which makes them more environment friendly. In addition, advanced cooling systems use less water for cooling as compared to traditional cooling systems. Moreover, these solutions are also adapting modular glasses and steel climate-controlled boxes and are run by geothermal power, which results in reduced carbon footprints to the environment.
