The market is driven by factors such as the growing need to improve processing capabilities, reduce the heat generated by increased data center power densities, and focus on developing cost effective and green data centers solutions. In this study, 2015 has been considered as the base year and 2016-2021 as the forecast period.

Objectives of the Study:

The main objective of this report is to define, describe, and forecast the global data center cooling market on the basis of solutions, services, types of cooling, data center types, industries, and regions. The report provides detailed information regarding the major factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges). The report aims to strategically analyze micromarkets with respect to individual growth trends, future prospects, and contributions to the total market. The report attempts to forecast the market size with respect to five main regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and Latin America. The report strategically profiles key players and comprehensively analyzes their core competencies. This report also tracks and analyzes competitive developments such as joint ventures, mergers & acquisitions, new product developments, and research & development activities in the data center cooling market.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the data center cooling market begins with capturing data on key vendor’s revenues through secondary research sources such as the U.S. Department of Energy, Springer, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the Data Center Journal, and others. The vendor offerings are also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall market size of the global market from the revenue of the key players in the market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments, which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people, such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and to arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The breakdown of primary profiles is depicted in the figure below:
