This data center liquid cooling market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Data center liquid cooling involves the use of cooling technologies to regulate the temperature of data centers. These facilities employ a combination of air conditioning and immersion cooling to optimize energy consumption, enabling the data center to operate at high availability and density. Liquid cooling systems have the potential to reduce overall power consumption and enhance power usage effectiveness in data center facilities.

The two main types of data center liquid cooling are single-phase cooling and two-phase cooling. Single-phase cooling utilizes a one-phase cooling system to manage the temperature of the data center facility. In this system, the liquid exists in a single phase (liquid form) that comes into contact with system components, transferring heat and cooling through a heat exchanger in the cooling distribution. Various components of data center liquid cooling include solutions and services tailored for hyperscale centers, enterprise types, colocation data centers, and other data centers across industries such as telecom and IT, BFSI, research, energy, government and academia, healthcare, among others.North America was the largest region in the data center liquid cooling market in 2025.
