AI Data Center Liquid Cooling Market to Reach US$ 23.23 billion by 2035 as Hyperscale Facilities Shift Toward Advanced Thermal Management

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

The AI data‑center liquid‑cooling market, valued at $3.39 billion in 2025, is projected to reach $23.23 billion by 2035, expanding at a 21.21% CAGR. The surge reflects a shift by hyperscale operators, cloud providers and AI infrastructure firms toward liquid‑cooling to manage the power density of GPUs and accelerators. Conventional air‑cooling cannot meet the thermal load of rapidly growing AI workloads, prompting investments in high‑density, energy‑efficient solutions. Recent moves include Supermicro’s rear‑door heat exchangers supporting 10‑120 kW racks, Vertiv’s integrated power‑liquid‑cooling system for the Naval Postgraduate School’s NVIDIA DGX GB300, and NVIDIA’s Rubin platform operating at 45 °C coolant. In Japan, NTT DATA and Daikin are testing AI‑driven cooling optimization, while Nidec unveiled a 300 kW in‑rack CDU prototype, positioning the industry for sustainable growth globally.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · Liquid cooling is the linchpin that lets hyperscale AI farms pack more compute into smaller footprints, unlocking the performance needed for next‑gen models.
