Ireland Data Center Cooling Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Ireland Data Center Cooling Market Analysis

The Ireland Data Center Cooling Market size is estimated at USD 169.70 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 580.30 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 21.70% during the forecast period (2024-2030).

• The increasing demand for cloud computing among SMEs, government regulations for local data security, and growing investment by domestic players are some of the major factors driving the demand for data centers in the country.
• The upcoming IT load capacity of the Irish data center market is expected to reach more than 1,600 MW by 2030. The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase above 8.2 million sq. ft by 2030.
• The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach more than 400K units by 2030. Dublin is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2030.
• Ireland's weather is famously cold and wet at almost any time of year. The average winter temperature in Ireland is between 40°F/5°C and 46°F/8°C. In Summer, temperatures are generally between 60°F/15°C to 70°F/20°C. Depending upon climatic conditions, the data center cooling is done in DC facilities.
• Another important impact of data centers on the environment is also reduced through district heating programs: water use. For cooling servers, many data centers use evaporated water. One data center may use more than a million liters of water per day at peak times. The center gets cooler water in return for transferring waste heat to the grid, reducing or eliminating evaporative cooling.
• Close to 16 submarine cable systems are connecting Ireland, and many are under construction. One such submarine cable that is estimated to start service in 2025 is Celtic Norse, which stretches over 2,008 km with landing points from Killala, Ireland.

Ireland 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 Irish 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.
