This research report details the segmentation of the data center cooling solutions market by cooling solutions (room cooling, and rack or row cooling), by cooling system (air conditioners, chillers, economizers, cooling towers, and others), by technique (air-based and liquid-based), and by geography (the US, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, India, China, GCC, Latin America, and ROW). Top vendors are 3M, 4Energy, Alfa Laval, Black Box Network Services, Daikin, Eaton, ebm-papst, Emerson, Rittal, Schneider Electric, and Stulz.

Technavio’s market research analysts estimate the global data center cooling solutions market, to grow at a CAGR of around 12% by 2020. The growing deployment of high performance computing infrastructure in data centers has necessitated the usage of containment cooling solutions and rack revel cooling systems. Of late, the vendors are developing modern data center infrastructure as green solutions to reduce energy consumption as well. The US is the largest revenue-contributing region in the global market for data center cooling solutions, owing to the high adoption of effective and efficient modern cooling techniques.

The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the data center cooling solutions segments by technology.

“The evolution of high-performance computing is a fast-moving trend in the data center cooling solutions market. The introduction of big data and cloud computing has uplifted the demand for data centers among enterprises and government agencies as they support high-performance computing. Therefore, high-performance computing solutions, involving the use of high-density servers, are expected to gain traction in the market and propel overall market growth,” says Rakesh Panda. Lead Analyst, ICT, Technavio Research.

The adoption of liquid-based cooling solutions is high as they are considered more efficient than air-based cooling. Water-based cooling, a sub-segment of liquid-based cooling, is the most widely accepted cooling system. The global data center cooling market by the liquid-based cooling technique is expected to grow at a remarkable rate, posting a CAGR of almost 16% during the forecast period.
