Data Center Liquid Cooling Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Product, Application, and Country Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2022-2027
Global Data Center Liquid Cooling Market Industry Overview
The global data center liquid cooling market was valued at $2.79 billion in 2021, which is expected to grow with a CAGR of 27.67% and reach $11.84 billion by 2027. The growth in the global data center liquid cooling market is expected to be driven by increased water scarcity and boosting number of edge, colocation, and hyper data centers.
Market Lifecycle Stage
The data center liquid cooling market is in a growth phase. Cooling is a standard part of data center operations as servers and networking devices constantly run 24/7, which increases the core temperature, which if not controlled, can lead to a data center outage. Reducing water scarcity, climate actions, sustainable urban infrastructure, and recycling and reusability are some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are expected to drive innovations and improvements toward the adoption of liquid cooling technologies. Therefore, a growing number of data centers is resulting in a boost in the utilization of data center liquid cooling techniques.
Impact
- Data center liquid cooling highly impacts thermal management techniques with the use of dielectric coolants, which can be potentially used on high-density data centers. This dielectric liquid permits deploying CPU and GPU clusters much closer collectively, i.e., in high-density configurations, while protecting crucial elements from thermal and environmental risks.
- Data center liquid cooling bridges the gap between traditional and future data centers. It not only improves the data infrastructure system efficiency but also cuts by a huge margin the amount of energy consumed. This leads to reduced energy bills and carbon footprint.
Impact of COVID-19Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the revenues went down slightly in 2020 and resumed an uptrend gradually in 2021. Therefore, data center liquid cooling companies have adopted strategies to come back positively from this crisis, and therefore, the global data center liquid cooling market is anticipated to bounce back more robustly in the future. This is due to an increase in data usage by 34% from the pre-pandemic times.
