The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on offering, the liquid cooling data center market is segmented into solutions and services. The solutions segment is further sub-segmented into air conditioning, chilling units, cooling towers, economizer systems, liquid cooling systems, control systems, and other solutions. The services segment is segmented into training & support, installation & deployment, and maintenance & support. In 2024, the solutions segment is expected to account for the larger share of over 72.0% of the liquid cooling data center market. This segment's large market share can be attributed to the increasing adoption of liquid cooling systems in data centers to improve energy efficiency by reducing reliance on mechanical cooling systems. Additionally, the rising energy costs and environmental concerns have prompted businesses to adopt liquid cooling to achieve sustainability goals and lower operating expenses.

However, the services segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the specialized expertise and resource requirements involved in implementing and maintaining liquid cooling systems in data centers. As liquid cooling technologies continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, there is an increasing demand for professional services to design, deploy, optimize, and manage these complex infrastructures. Liquid cooling solutions often require customization and integration with existing data center infrastructure, including servers, racks, and networking equipment. Data center service providers play a crucial role in tailoring liquid cooling solutions to meet the unique requirements of each customer's environment and ensuring seamless integration with their existing systems.

Based on cooling method, the liquid cooling data center market is segmented into direct-to-chip liquid cooling, rack-level liquid cooling, immersion cooling, rear-door heat exchange, modular liquid cooling, and other cooling methods. In 2024, the immersion cooling segment is expected to account for the largest share of the liquid cooling data center market. Immersion cooling offers superior cooling efficiency compared to traditional air-based cooling methods. By directly immersing IT components in a dielectric fluid, heat can be efficiently dissipated from hotspots, leading to more uniform temperature distribution and better thermal management. This capability enables data centers to support higher power densities and achieve better overall cooling performance. These benefits drive the increased adoption of immersion cooling systems, contributing to the segment's large market share.

Moreover, the immersion cooling segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on data center size, the liquid cooling data center market is segmented into small-scale data centers, medium-scale data centers, and hyperscale data centers. In 2024, the medium-scale data centers segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 61.0% of the liquid cooling data center market. Medium-scale data centers data centers typically prioritize space optimization due to limited availability. Liquid cooling solutions, such as immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling, offer superior heat dissipation efficiency compared to traditional air cooling methods. It enables medium-scale data centers to support higher power densities and denser server deployments while effectively managing space constraints. These factors contribute to the increased adoption of liquid cooling solutions among medium-scale liquid cooling data centers.

Additionally, the medium-scale data centers segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on end user, the liquid cooling data center market is segmented into network providers, cloud providers, and enterprises. The enterprises segment is sub-segmented into retail & e-commerce, healthcare, IT & telecommunications, BFSI, media & entertainment, and other enterprises. In 2024, the enterprises segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 47.0% of the liquid cooling data center market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing use of colocation services to ensure reliable & scalable infrastructure, the increasing need for a secure and compliant environment to host sensitive patient data and critical applications, and the growing need to support IT & telecommunications networks, data storage, and processing requirements. Liquid cooling solutions offer greater energy efficiency compared to traditional air cooling methods by reducing reliance on mechanical cooling systems and optimizing thermal management. The rise in energy costs and environmental concerns have prompted IT and telecommunications companies to adopt liquid cooling to achieve sustainability goals and lower operating expenses.

Moreover, the enterprises segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on geography, the liquid cooling data center market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of over 36.0% of the liquid cooling data center market. North America's significant market share can be attributed to stringent regulations and sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in data center operations. Liquid cooling solutions offer greater energy efficiency compared to traditional air cooling methods, making them attractive options for data center operators looking to minimize their environmental footprint and comply with regulatory requirements.

Moreover, key market players are launching various solutions, contributing to the market's growth. For instance, in November 2023, Vertiv (U.S.), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, launched Vertiv SmartMod Max CW, a prefabricated modular data center designed to address the growing demand for rapid deployment of compute. This configurable and scalable solution supports up to 200kW of total IT load in a single system and utilizes chilled water cooling for reduced environmental impact and energy efficiency.

However, the market in Asia-Pacific is projected to record the highest CAGR of 25.0% during the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing rapid growth in data center infrastructure expansion, driven by increasing internet penetration, digital transformation initiatives, and the adoption of cloud computing and edge computing technologies. As data center densities and workloads continue to increase, there is a growing demand for efficient cooling solutions to manage heat dissipation and ensure reliable operation.

Many countries in the Asia-Pacific region experience tropical climates characterized by high temperatures and humidity levels, which present challenges for traditional air cooling methods. Thus, the rising demand for liquid cooling solutions, such as immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling, from data centers operating in hot and humid environments is expected to drive the growth of this regional market during the forecast period.
