The Global Medical Equipment Cooling Market was valued at USD 474.1 million in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% to reach USD 710.8 million by 2035.
Market growth is fueled by several interconnected factors, including the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, expanding adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, technological advancements in diagnostic imaging devices, and the growing need for precise temperature control in healthcare facilities. Thermal management systems are critical in maintaining the reliability, longevity, and peak performance of sophisticated medical equipment, driving ongoing investment in cooling solutions. Increasing cancer incidence and other chronic conditions are boosting the demand for MRI units, CT scanners, linear accelerators, PET-CT systems, and laboratory equipment, all of which require high-capacity cooling solutions. High-field MRI units alone demand 30-50 kW of cooling per system, highlighting the importance of robust thermal management. Additionally, the expanding global healthcare infrastructure, technological innovation, and rising clinical standards contribute to sustained demand for medical equipment cooling solutions.
The liquid-based cooling systems segment accounted for 54.9% share in 2025, driven by their high heat removal efficiency. These systems, including chilled water chillers, glycol cooling units, and direct refrigerant technologies, are ideal for applications with high thermal loads, such as MRI and CT machines or linear accelerators. Liquid cooling offers compact designs and quieter operation compared to air-cooled systems, making them well-suited for hospital and clinical environments. The growing focus on energy efficiency, reduced noise levels, and high-density heat dissipation further accelerates the adoption of liquid-based cooling technologies across healthcare facilities globally.
The scroll compressors segment generated USD 155.2 million in 2025 and continues to dominate small- to medium-capacity applications ranging from 5 to 60 tons of cooling. They are widely deployed in MRI chillers, CT scanners, and precision laboratory air conditioning systems due to their high reliability, low vibration, and quiet operation. With an average time between failures of 100,000 hours, scroll compressors provide dependable performance in critical healthcare environments. The preference for scroll technology is also driven by its ability to deliver consistent cooling at lower operational noise levels, which is essential in patient care areas and laboratory settings.
North America Medical Equipment Cooling Market held 34.4% share in 2025 and is expected to maintain strong growth during the forecast period. The region leads in diagnostic imaging infrastructure and ongoing replacement of aging equipment, resulting in heightened demand for advanced cooling solutions. Hospitals and research centers in North America increasingly require high-performance, reliable cooling systems that support premium features and ensure optimal equipment functionality. Regulatory standards and a focus on operational efficiency also encourage investment in advanced thermal management systems, further supporting market expansion.
