APAC Data Center Cooling Market Analysis

The APAC Data Center Cooling Market size is estimated at USD 3.56 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 7.31 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.47% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • Surging internet usage and the rising number of data centers—driven by the vast computational needs of artificial intelligence (AI) and media applications—have fueled a massive expansion in the data center cooling market, particularly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
  • Emerging countries in APAC are witnessing rapid IT infrastructure development, further propelling the market. This surge in data center demand has piqued the interest of a diverse array of investors in the region, spanning growth capital, buyout, real estate, and increasingly, infrastructure sectors. For example, in February 2025, CapitalLand Investment Ltd. made headlines with its acquisition of a freehold land parcel in Osaka, marking its inaugural foray into Japan's data center landscape, backed by an investment exceeding USD 700 million. This significant uptick in data center demand underscores the necessity for efficient cooling solutions, as these centers, often housing thousands of servers, require optimal cooling to function effectively.
  • The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights a relentless surge in demand for digital services. Since 2010, the global internet user base has nearly doubled, and web traffic has skyrocketed 20-fold. However, this digital boom raises sustainability concerns. Currently, data centers account for 1.5 percent of the world's electricity consumption, positioning providers as pivotal players in the quest for net-zero emissions. While enhancing energy efficiency poses challenges for the data center industry, it simultaneously opens doors for innovative solutions. Central to this endeavor is the adoption of efficient and sustainable cooling methods for data centers.
  • Given that cooling constitutes about 40 percent of a data center's energy consumption, it's a vital determinant of profitability. Overheating can lead to costly downtimes.
  • In response to these challenges, APAC companies are pioneering "Green" data centers, opting for Free Air Cooling systems over conventional air conditioners. This shift towards green data centers for data management and distribution has enabled numerous software firms to slash both energy consumption and overall energy expenses.
  • Yet, the market faces hurdles, notably adaptability demands and power outages in the APAC region. A typical cooling system for data centers needs to be pre-engineered, standardized, and modular, with flexibility and scalability to align with regional demands. However, firms are increasingly hesitant to invest in high-end, customized cooling solutions, complicating this endeavor.
  • Market players are turning to liquid cooling solutions to enhance their offerings. A case in point: in December 2024, British industrial lubricant giant Castrol unveiled its new direct-to-chip cooling fluid, tailored for the intense thermal demands of AI and high-performance computing data centers. Dubbed Castrol ON Direct Liquid Cooling PG 25, this propylene glycol-based fluid is specifically crafted for direct-to-chip applications, comes ready-to-use, and boasts features like corrosion and bacterial growth protection.

APAC Data Center Cooling Industry Overview

The Asia-Pacific data center cooling market is fragmented. The advantages offered by the technology and aid from the government by imposing efficiency regulations on data centers are expected to help the growth of the data center cooling market directly. Market penetration is growing with a strong presence of major players in established markets. With the increasing focus on innovation, the demand for new technologies is growing, which, in turn, is driving investments for further developments. Key players are Vertiv Co., Schneider Electric SE, STULZ GMBH, etc.

As demand for high-performance computing surges, data centers grapple with the heat produced by cutting-edge components. Enter Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC), a timely answer to the cooling challenges posed by new AI chips. While DLC offers a stopgap for AI chip integration, it doesn't fully tackle the long-term cooling demands of other high-density components or the overarching efficiency and environmental concerns of data centers. The persistent use of air cooling and chillers not only complicates infrastructure but also curtails potential enhancements in Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).

Looking ahead, immersion cooling stands out as a method to fine-tune workloads in relation to the cooling capacity, positioning dry cooling as a baseline and overclocking as the pinnacle. This strategy, already in play at scale within the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining sector, showcases its resilience even in some of the planet's most challenging environments, often where water resources are limited.
