The data
center cooling market was valued at USD 20.5 billion in 2025 and is
projected to reach USD 68.7 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 12.3% from
2026 to 2035. Rising AI accelerator density, hyperscale data-center
construction, cloud expansion, and the growing need for reliable thermal
management are driving market growth.

The shift from conventional enterprise computing to
high-density AI training and inference is making cooling a core facility-design
requirement. Liquid cooling, direct-to-chip systems, immersion cooling,
advanced chillers, heat-rejection equipment, integrated controls, and service
contracts are gaining importance as operators address higher rack power, water
constraints, grid limitations, and retrofit complexity.

Precision air cooling generated USD 7.80 billion in 2025.
CRAC, CRAH, and in-row systems remain essential across moderate-density
environments, legacy enterprise facilities, and mixed-technology halls,
although advanced sites are increasingly combining air systems with liquid
cooling.

Hyperscale and cloud data centers generated USD 9.22 billion
in 2025 and are projected to represent 53% of market revenue by 2035. Their
large-scale AI deployments, multiyear construction pipelines, and sophisticated
procurement requirements are accelerating adoption of integrated cooling
architectures.

North America generated USD 8.82 billion in 2025 and
remained the largest regional market. The region’s concentration of hyperscale
campuses, AI infrastructure investment, mature colocation ecosystems, and deep
thermal-management supplier base is supporting demand for liquid cooling, heat
rejection, controls, and aftermarket services.

Vertiv Holdings led the data center cooling market with
17.5% share in 2025. Its broad thermal-management portfolio, large installed
base, systems expertise, and ability to serve both precision-air and advanced
liquid-cooling deployments strengthen its position across hyperscale,
colocation, and enterprise projects.

Some of the major players in this market are Schneider
Electric, Trane Technologies, Carrier Global, STULZ GmbH, Johnson Controls,
Munters, Rittal, Airedale by Modine, CoolIT Systems, LiquidStack, Alfa Laval,
Eaton, Delta Electronics, Daikin Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, and Nortek
Data Center Cooling.
