Guidehouse Research Expects Global Market for Data Center Cooling to Surpass $40 Billion by 2034

AI-driven innovation is reshaping cooling strategies for data centers worldwide

, /PRNewswire/ — A new report from Guidehouse Research analyzes the global market for data center cooling solutions.

In the coming years, the increasing emphasis on cost-effective cooling solutions and advances in AI-driven thermal management are expected to propel the market forward. According to a new report from Guidehouse Research, the global value of the data center cooling market is expected to grow from US$20.5 billion in 2025 to US$40.2 billion in 2034 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.

“The global data center cooling market is influenced by several key factors, including the rapid growth of cloud computing, big data, and AI, which are increasing the demand for data centers with high energy density,” said Bitania Yemane, research analyst with Guidehouse Research. “Regulatory pressure is driving the need for energy efficiency in data center operations, a trend that further promotes the adoption of advanced cooling technologies, such as liquid and AI-powered cooling systems.”

North America and Asia-Pacific are expected to lead the market, fueled by large-scale investments in next-gen data centers, while Europe is advancing under strict energy-efficiency regulations. In contrast, regions like Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa face adoption hurdles due to economic and infrastructure challenges.

Despite high upfront costs and regional limitations, the shift toward AI-integrated and energy-efficient cooling systems is reshaping the future of data center operations, according to the report.
