The rise in the number of business enterprises and consequent need to manage their voluminous data on cloud has led to the development of data centers across the globe. The adoption of advanced computing technologies and big data analytics for operational purpose has resulted in increased power consumption and considerable temperature rise in data centers. High temperature adversely affects the infrastructure and hence the operations of data centers. Thus, it needs to be controlled using external arrangements like data center cooling solutions which maintain requisite temperature for proper functioning of the IT equipment in data centers. With increased data consumption, major cloud service providers are anticipating need to expand their infrastructure including data center cooling framework, thereby driving the market forward. However, there are some adverse effects of air conditioning and other cooling solutions on the environment (ex- depletion of the ozone layer) as they release significant amount of greenhouse gases. Owing to such factors, governments and other concerned authorities have enacted several mandates and standards which may pose challenge to the market growth in coming years.

In terms of revenue generation, air conditioners and chillers represented the two largest product segments in the global data center cooling market. They collectively accounted for around three-fourth of the global market revenue in the base year 2016. The trend is presumed to continue and the segments are presumed to retain their dominance by 2025, exhibiting steady growth throughout the forecast period 2017 – 2025. Air conditioners being the conventional and most widely used cooling units in enterprises and agencies, account for dominant market revenue share. On the other hand, the use of chillers in data centers is primarily to safeguard hardware infrastructure from damage due to overheating. The use of chillers allows end-users to deploy blade server racks and other server clusters.

In the current scenario, Asia Pacific represents the most lucrative data center cooling market. The trend shall prolong and the region is anticipated to exhibit superior growth, offering healthy growth and investment opportunities for all participants across the ecosystem. India and China uphold tremendous growth potential. Growing awareness among government agencies and enterprises regarding the need for data centers and consequent need for cooling infrastructure is driving market demand in these countries. While several telecommunication organizations are focusing on establishing data centers, established players like China Telecom already operate majority of the data centers owing to growing business and positive future outlook. The increase in the number of data centers is expected to necessitate need for data center cooling equipment, thereby driving market demand. Unlike developed markets including North America and Europe, Asia Pacific is not witnessing a shift in paradigm from conventional air-based and liquid-based cooling to free cooling.
