Demand for Eco-Friendly Options among Enterprises to Benefit Data Center Cooling Market

Market Research Future has published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Data Center Cooling Market.

Market Scope

Market Research Future (MRFR) estimates the value of the Data Center Cooling Market 2020 to be USD  28.3631 Billion by 2030. It also predicts that the market can advance at a robust rate of 10.50% from 2022 to 2030 (review period).

Growth Boosters and Key Barriers

Datacenter operators make extensive use of cooling systems for ensuring that the temperature stays within the acceptable level across data centers. Data centers operate throughout the day, efficiently handling massive amounts of data. The cooling system helps dissipate the heat energy within data processing, preventing the damage that can be caused due to the overheating of the equipment.

Data center cooling is increasingly gaining favor among data center operators owing to its eco-friendly properties, cost-effectiveness as well as energy efficiency. Data centers have increased in number across the world, in conjunction with the rising use of 4G LTE networks. Thus, with the mounting number of data centers, the demand for data center cooling solutions is also expected to soar, given the need to bring down the overall IT cost in data centers.

The advent of cloud computing along with the surge in the initiatives by government to boost the deployment of cloud technology is also working in favor of the worldwide market. For instance, the UAE government recently set up numerous projects, which include Smart Abu Dhabi and Smart Dubai. These projects are aimed at driving digital transformation as well as economic growth in the area. These types of government-backed initiatives can be a signifiant growth booster in the global market for data center cooling systems.

Industry Trends

The current scenario of deteriorating environment health has prompted companies to opt for sustainable cooling. The latter has the capacity to save close to 80% or more of the total cooling energy costs. To cite an instance, the North Carolina data center facility belonging to Apple functions entirely on eco-friendly, sustainable power sources for cooling the data center. This is achieved via the use of free-air cooling technique, which allows the chillers to remain shut at least 75% of the time.

Furthermore, the mounting pressure from various government agencies, the general public and environmentalists also compels the companies to take green initiatives. Thus, the heightened demand for eco-friendly solutions can propel the growth of the data center cooling systems market.
