Mexico Data Center Cooling - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2024 - 2030)

The Mexico Data Center Cooling Market size is estimated at USD 158.5 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 350.40 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14% during the forecast period (2024-2030).

Key Highlights

• The increasing demand for cloud computing among SMEs, government regulations for local data security, and growing investment by domestic players are some of the major factors driving the demand for data centers.
• Under Construction IT Load Capacity: The upcoming IT load capacity of the Mexican data center market is expected to reach more than 480.3 MW by 2029.
• Under Construction Raised Floor Space: The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase above 2.4 million sq. ft by 2029.
• Planned Racks: The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach 120,094 units by 2029. Querétaro is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2029.
• Planned Submarine Cables: There are submarine cables under construction. One such submarine cable that is estimated to start service in 2025 is Caribbean Express (CX), which stretches over 3,472 km with landing points from Cancún, Mexico.
• New data centers across the country focus on implementing state-of-the-art monitoring systems to mitigate the risks associated with extreme weather events, and many would use the latest, more energy-efficient cooling technologies, such as redundant cooling systems, smart monitoring technologies, and backup power generators to ensure consistency of temperature in the event of power interruptions. Another example is direct liquid cooling, which uses a higher thermal transfer of water to a more efficient cooling device.
• The average winter temperature is between -8.33 °C (17 °F) and -0.5 °C (31 °F). The average summer temperature is between 10 °C (50 °F) to over 25 °C (77 °F). Winters can vary widely across the country, with frequent cold, fog, and snow periods in the north and more pleasant weather in the south. Depending upon climatic conditions, DC cooling is done in the DC facilities.

Mexico Data Center Cooling Market Trends

IT and Telecom to Have Significant Market Share

• The cloud segment of the data center market in Mexico is expected to register a CAGR of 8.57% and reach a capacity of 107.58 MW by 2030.
• Among end-user industries, the cloud segment is expected to hold the largest market share and witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. Cloud services are essential for enabling SME growth, fostering innovation, closing the digital divide, saving public spending, and enhancing public services.
• Additionally, it is anticipated that the end users in the manufacturing, media and entertainment, financial services, and e-commerce sectors would accelerate the expansion of IT load capacity through increased data consumption. The Mexican government has launched research and development initiatives through the Secretariat of Economy and the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt) to spark Industry 4.0 in the country.
• SENER (the Secretariat of Energy), SICT (the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communication, and Transportation), and SAGARPA (the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development) are working on Industry 4.0 projects that encourage innovation to help the country's economy. Internet shopping would add to the rising data consumption as the user base increases. Due to the tempting bargains being offered, customers are expected to be more likely to shop online, which would increase demand for digital payment systems and website traffic, increasing data consumption further. The aggregate of all these influences would result in a significant rise in consumption, which would drive the demand for data centers in the area.

Liquid Cooling to Have a Significant Share

• In data centers, liquid cooling offers many benefits, and it is an attractive option for cooling computing environments with high performance. The use of liquid cooling has been shown to be more energy-efficient compared with conventional air conditioning. It reduces the need for overcooling and improves the energy efficiency of data centers by providing precise temperature control.
• Technological advances have helped to reduce the data center's water consumption by more than 15% in tropical climates and 80% in green areas, making liquid cooling easier to maintain, scale up, or be affordable. Energy used for liquid cooling may be recycled to heat buildings and drinking water, while advanced artificial refrigerants can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of air conditioners.
• Liquid cooling takes advantage of the space constraints and superior heat transfer properties of water or other liquids to provide efficient and cost-effective cooling of high-density racks up to 3000 times more efficiently than air. Long proven in mainframe and gaming applications, liquid cooling is increasingly being used to protect rack servers in regional data centers. Recently, Vertiv introduced a water-efficient liquid cooling solution for high-density data centers, the Liebert XDU, a new generation of thermal management systems that supports liquid-cooled servers and enables the control of liquid quality, flow, and pressure.
• Furthermore, the government is expected to make more investments to innovate in areas such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and applications utilizing 5G and 6G technologies. It aimed to attain full 5G coverage, for which it planned a 5G spectrum auction in 2023. Such aspects are expected to complement the growth and demand for data processing facilities in the telecom industry, which are expected to fuel the demand for DC cooling infrastructure in the country.
• Since the demand for digitization services has increased, data center operators plan to build huge data center facilities in Mexico. Guadalajara, an expanding IT outsourcing destination in Latin America, became the ideal location for establishing a new development center to meet clients' demands. Guadalajara has attracted some of the largest software development and IT engineering organizations over the years.
• The hub for IT outsourcing is the hotspot. Guadalajara attracts several businesses and dozens of important suppliers due to its qualified workforce at all levels and the dedication of the municipal and state governments to ongoing infrastructure improvements. The majority of Mexico's technological companies are located in Guadalajara. The hotspot has become more popular as a result of expanding IT companies and a growing user base for digital applications. The majority of data center operators have established their facilities in this area because Guadalajara is home to significant IT establishments and industries that demand intensive processing.
