The increase observed in the historical period can be ascribed to increased data center power density, raised energy costs, a focus on green data centers, rapid growth in data storage, and increased adoption of cloud computing.

The immersion cooling fluids market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The expansion anticipated in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing adoption of 5G technology, a heightened focus on energy recovery, the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), a rise in quantum computing applications, and increased collaboration between tech companies. Major trends projected for the forecast period encompass hybrid cooling solutions, AI-driven management systems, customized immersion cooling solutions, maintenance-free solutions, and a focus on aesthetics and design.

The growth of the immersion cooling fluids market is driven by the increasing demand for data centers. The surge in data center workload, reaching 650 million in 2021 according to the International Energy Agency, has led to a higher utilization of immersion cooling fluids. These fluids are employed to directly submerge IT gear in non-conductive liquids for efficient cooling, meeting the rising demands of data centers.

The immersion cooling fluids market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing demand for cryptocurrency mining. Cryptocurrency mining involves creating new units of a cryptocurrency and securing transactions on the blockchain by solving complex mathematical problems. Immersion cooling fluids play a crucial role in cryptocurrency mining by providing an efficient method of cooling mining hardware, such as ASIC or GPU mining rigs. According to The White House, the U.S. dominates global Bitcoin mining, with over 38% activity as of September 2022, up from 3.5% in 2020, hosting approximately one-third of worldwide crypto operations. Bitcoin alone contributes to 60% to 77% of the global crypto-asset electricity consumption. Therefore, the growing demand for cryptocurrency mining is driving the growth of the immersion cooling fluids market.

Major companies are launching data center immersion cooling fluids to enhance profitability. ExxonMobil Corporation, a US-based natural gas company, introduced immersion fluid products for data centers in October 2023. These products, available in synthetic and non-synthetic variants, offer efficient heat dissipation, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce overall ownership costs. Compatible with various materials, these fluids contribute to prolonged equipment lifespan, optimal performance, and lower Power Usage Effectiveness compared to traditional air-cooling methods.

Major companies in the immersion cooling fluids market are introducing new products incorporating technologies such as flow technology to enhance market profitability. Flow technology in immersion cooling fluids involves managing and controlling circulation systems, pumps, and components to ensure a controlled flow of dielectric fluid around submerged components. In November 2023, US-based liquid cooling provider LiquidStack launched a single-phase immersion cooling solution for data centers. This liquid cooling solution surpasses air cooling with 28 times greater heat rejection capacity, making it ideal for powering high-demand generative AI processors. The efficiency of liquid cooling leads to a 32% reduction in capital expenditures compared to air cooling, stemming from minimized space, materials, water, and power usage. The LiquidStack system, part of MacroModular, accommodates 1.5MW liquid cooling in a modular container, achieving over 110kW performance using W32 water and enhancing heat transfer dynamics through flow technology.

In July 2022, Cargill, a US-based global food corporation, acquired Croda's Performance Technologies and Industrial Chemicals businesses for $754 million. This acquisition enhances Cargill's ability to offer naturally-based solutions, leveraging fresh skills and talent. Croda is a UK-based chemical company known for manufacturing immersion cooling fluids.
