Data Center Cooling Market Global Report 2026

The data center cooling market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.02 billion in 2025 to $12.39 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of hyperscale data centers, rising demand for high-density server racks, growth of cloud computing infrastructure, increasing electricity consumption in IT facilities, and adoption of aisle containment systems.

The data center cooling market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of data centers designed for AI workloads, growing emphasis on carbon-neutral data center operations, continued expansion of edge data centers, rising investments in advanced cooling technologies, and increasing regulatory requirements for energy efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include greater adoption of liquid and immersion cooling technologies, expansion of directed and containment-based cooling systems, integration of real-time thermal monitoring solutions, stronger emphasis on energy-efficient cooling designs, and increasing deployment of modular cooling infrastructure.

The rise in global temperatures is expected to remain a significant driver of the data center cooling market during the forecast period. Increasing global temperatures are primarily associated with higher greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities, deforestation, industrial operations, and fossil fuel combustion, which intensify the greenhouse effect and retain more heat within the Earth's atmosphere. Data center cooling systems are becoming increasingly important in managing the effects of higher temperatures because they maintain suitable operating conditions for servers and protect equipment from overheating in facilities with substantial energy consumption. For instance, in January 2025, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a Switzerland-based organization, 2024 was declared the hottest year on record, with global temperatures averaging approximately 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels. Therefore, rising global temperatures are expected to increase demand for data center cooling solutions.

Leading companies operating in the data center cooling market are launching new products such as immersion cooling fluids to increase their profitability in the market. Immersion cooling fluids, also known as coolants or dielectric fluids, refer to specialized liquids used in immersion cooling systems to absorb and dissipate heat generated by electronic components, including servers and other IT hardware, in data centers. For example, in October 2023, ExxonMobil Corporation, a US-based natural gas company, launched data center immersion cooling fluids. ExxonMobil's data center cooling fluids are designed to provide energy efficiency and performance and offer a diverse portfolio of synthetic and non-synthetic options with varying thermal capacities. Designed with lower viscosity for efficient heat removal, these fluids provide compatibility with various materials and support long equipment life. Immersion cooling fluids are essential for liquid cooling in data centers and are intended to improve energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, and increase rack density, contributing to a claimed reduction of up to 40% in the total cost of ownership for IT equipment.

In December 2023, Vertiv, a US-based company specializing in critical infrastructure for data centers and communication networks, acquired CoolTera Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Vertiv aimed to expand its capabilities in high-density cooling solutions by incorporating CoolTera’s advanced liquid cooling technologies and infrastructure into its existing thermal management portfolio. CoolTera Ltd. is a Canada-based company specializing in mission-critical custom air handlers and modular data center design, engineering, and manufacturing. It is also described as an Israel-based company specializing in advanced cooling solutions for data centers and IT environments.
