Belgium Data Center Cooling Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Belgium Data Center Cooling Market Analysis

The Belgium Data Center Cooling Market size is estimated at USD 47.20 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 172.5 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 24.08% during the forecast period (2024-2030).

• According to Google engineers, the climate in Belgium supports free cooling almost year-round, with temperatures rising above the acceptable range for free cooling about seven days per year on average. The average temperature in Brussels during summer reaches 66 to 71 degrees F (18 to 21 degrees C). Data center cooling is potentially being used to prevent unwanted high-temperature climatic zones in summer.
• The upcoming IT load capacity of the Belgian data center market is expected to reach more than 180 MW by 2030. The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to be around 1.3 million sq. ft by 2030.
• The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach around 65K units by 2039. Brussels is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2030. Close to 5 submarine cable systems are connecting Belgium, and many are under construction.
• In terms of acquisitions, in June 2023, Orange announced that Orange Belgium had completed its acquisition of a controlling stake in telco operator VOO SA. The closing of this deal gave Orange Belgium a 75% stake minus 1 share in VOO SA, with the remaining 25% plus one share retained by Nethys. Such acquisitions are expected to boost the development of submarine cables during the forecast period.

Belgium Data Center Cooling Industry Segmentation

Data center cooling is a set of techniques and technologies to maintain optimal operating temperatures in data center environments. Data center cooling is critical as data center facilities house many computer servers and network equipment that generate heat during operation. Efficient cooling systems are used to dissipate this heat and prevent equipment from overheating, ensuring continued reliable operation of the data center. Methods such as air conditioning, liquid cooling, and hot/cold aisle containment are commonly used to control temperature and humidity in data centers.

The Belgian data center cooling market is segmented into technology (air-based cooling [chillers and economizers, CRAH, cooling towers, and other air-based cooling technologies] and liquid-based cooling (immersion cooling, direct-to-chip cooling, and rear-door heat exchanger]), type of data center (hyperscaler, enterprise, and colocation), and end-user industry (IT and telecom, retail and consumer goods, healthcare, media and entertainment, federal and institutional agencies, and other end-user industries). The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value (USD) for all the above segments.
