Optimizing Data Center Infrastructure: Market Sizing Thermal Management & Energy Consumption
Market Data | 2Q 2026 | MD-CSDS-102
Get The ReportABI Research forecasts the market for data center HVAC hardware revenue to grow from US$13.1 billion in 2025 to US$15 billion in 2035. Conventional systems currently contribute the most to data center air cooling hardware revenue, followed by multi-split type & DX type, packaged units & self-contained units (CRAC), and VRF.
Liquid cooling represents 24% of the data center cooling hardware market at US$3.2 billion and is forecast to grow to US$17.3 billion by 2035 with an 18.4% CAGR, representing 47% of the data center HVAC hardware market share. The liquid cooling installed base is projected to grow from 24% to over 60% of data center liquid cooling hardware.
Although liquid cooling adoption is accelerating, air-cooled systems will remain critical throughout the forecast period as networking, storage, edge deployments, and ancillary spaces continue to require traditional HVAC infrastructure.
