Italy Data Center Cooling Market Analysis

The Italy Data Center Cooling Market size is estimated at USD 182.51 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 798.95 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 27.9% during the forecast period (2025-2031).

  • 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 Italy data center market is expected to reach more than 600 MW by 2030. The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase above 5.3 million sq. ft by 2030. The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach above 268K units by 2030. Greater Milan is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2030.
  • The average winter temperature is between 0 °C (32 °F) in the Alps and 12 °C (54 °F) in Sicily, so the average summer temperature is between 20 °C (68 °F) to over 25 °C (77 °F). Winters can vary widely across the country, with frequent cold, fog, and snow periods in the north and more pleasant weather in the south. Depending upon climatic conditions, the DC cooling is done in the DC facilities.
  • New data centers across the country focus on implementing state-of-the-art monitoring systems to mitigate the risks associated with extreme weather events, and many would use the latest, more energy-efficient cooling technologies, such as redundant cooling systems, smart monitoring technologies, and backup power generators to ensure consistency of temperature in the event of power interruptions. Another example is direct liquid cooling, which uses a higher thermal transfer of water to a more efficient cooling device.
  • There are close to 31 submarine cable systems connecting Italy, and many are under construction. One such submarine cable that is estimated to start service in 2024 is Blue, which stretches over 4,696 Kilometers with landing points from Genoa-, Golfo Aranci-, Palermo-, and Rome-Italy.
