China 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. Various methods, such as air conditioning, liquid cooling, and hot/cold aisle containment, are commonly used to control temperature and humidity in data centers.

The Chinese data center cooling market is segmented into technology (air-based cooling [chillers and economizers, CRAH, cooling towers, and other 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).
