Segments - Data Center Liquid Cooling Market by Types (Direct Liquid Cooling, Indirect Liquid Cooling, Cold Plates, Rack Liquid Cooling, and Others), Types of Data Center (Wholesale Data Center, Enterprise Data Canter, Hyperscale Data Center, Colocation Data Center, and Others), Components (Services and Solutions), End-users (IT & Telecommunication, BFSI, Media & Entertainment, Retail, Government & Defense, Healthcare, Energy, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023– 2031
The global data center liquid cooling market size was valued at around USD 2.50 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 18.63 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 25% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing energy consumption in data center facilities.
Data center refers to a dedicated space, which houses computer systems and their associated components such as switches, routers, storage systems, firewalls, servers, and application delivery controllers. Data centers aid business operations by performing tasks such as transferring data, performing search queries, and other computing services.
Data centers perform such tasks continuously to improve the user experience for several users at any given time. Such tasks generate considerable power and heat. For data centers, where several rows and aisles are stacked with computing machines, overheating proves to be a significant problem.
Keeping the temperature inside data centers under control is necessary for data centers to function seamlessly. Cooling systems in data centers regulate the flow of heat and achieve cooling to maximum efficiency. A liquid cooling system refers to a processor inside a computing machine, which circulates a liquid through a heatsink that is attached to the processor of the computing machine.
When the liquid passes through the heatsink, heat from the heated processor gets transferred to the cool liquid. The liquid, then, moves out of the heatsink, and the heat from the liquid is transferred to the ambient air outside the processor. The cool liquid moves back through the processor to repeat the cooling process.
Noise-free operations, good overclocking potential, cooling-specific mechanisms, and less clutter are some of the benefits that liquid cooling solutions provide to data centers.
