Introduction to Asia-Pacific Data Center Cooling Market
The Asia-Pacific data center cooling market is projected to reach $41.10 billion by 2035 from $9.46 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 13.61% during the forecast period 2025-2035. Advanced data centre cooling solutions are becoming more and more necessary as APAC's digital infrastructure, cloud use, and data generation all rise. Effective cooling solutions are essential to maintaining equipment longevity and uptime as workloads related to AI and high-performance computing increase. Sustainable, low-impact cooling technologies are becoming more popular as a result of regional governments enforcing stronger energy efficiency requirements, water usage caps, and refrigerant regulations. To meet national sustainability goals, nations like Singapore, Australia, and India are pushing for closed-loop systems, free cooling, and low-GWP refrigerants. Although innovation is speeding up the adoption of AI-driven airflow control, liquid cooling, and immersion systems, obstacles including high upfront costs and integration difficulties continue to be major obstacles. However, the drive for more eco-friendly and effective digital infrastructure is changing cooling tactics in data centres around Asia.
Market Introduction
The market for data centre cooling in Asia Pacific is expanding quickly due to the region's increased use of cloud computing, AI, and digital transformation. Effective and sustainable cooling solutions are now essential to maintaining uptime, performance, and regulatory compliance as data centre density rises and rack power levels climb from 10 kW to over 30 kW. In order to better handle increasing heat loads, operators are aggressively moving away from conventional CRAC/CRAH units and towards cutting-edge technologies like immersion cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, and direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
Data centre operators are being pushed to implement low-impact, closed-loop, and hybrid cooling systems by nations like Singapore, Australia, India, and Japan that are imposing tougher energy efficiency standards, water usage laws, and low-GWP refrigerant mandates. In order to increase energy efficiency and reduce PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), AI-powered thermal management, modular cooling designs, and the usage of free cooling in appropriate regions are increasingly becoming more popular.
With the help of government incentives and sustainability standards, the market is still growing despite obstacles including high initial investment, complicated retrofits, and water scarcity in some areas. The APAC data centre cooling market is expected to grow quickly as environmental restrictions tighten and demand for high-performance computing increases, eventually becoming a vital component of green, future-ready digital infrastructure.

Market trends, Drivers and Challenges of APAC Data Center Cooling Market
Market Trends
• Rapid adoption of liquid-cooling solutions (direct-to-chip, rear-door heat exchangers) to manage rising rack power densities.
• Growth in immersion-cooling pilots, especially for high-performance computing and AI workloads.
• Expansion of modular, prefabricated cooling units to accelerate deployment and scalability at edge sites.
• Integration of AI/ML-driven monitoring and dynamic airflow management for predictive maintenance and efficiency gains.
• Increasing use of free-cooling (air-side and water-side economizers) in temperate APAC climates to reduce chiller runtime.
• Circular-economy initiatives: waste-heat recovery for district heating or facility reuse in mature markets.
Market Drivers
• Escalating IT load per rack (from 10?kW to 30?kW+), necessitating more efficient thermal solutions.
• Corporate net-zero and ESG targets prompting facility owners to minimize PUE and carbon footprints.
• Stringent regional regulations on water use and refrigerant emissions, driving adoption of low-GWP coolants and closed-loop systems.
• Demand for rapid deployment of hyperscale and edge data centers across Southeast Asia, India and Australia.
• Rising electricity costs incentivizing operators to invest in energy-efficient chillers and airflow optimization.
Market Challenges
• High initial CAPEX for advanced cooling technologies (liquid cooling, immersion systems) versus traditional CRAC units.
• Water scarcity in certain APAC regions complicates adoption of water-cooled chillers and economizers.
• Complex integration requirements when retrofitting legacy facilities with new cooling architectures.
• Skills and talent shortages for design, installation and maintenance of specialized cooling systems.
• Fragmented regulatory landscape across APAC, with varying standards for refrigerant handling, water discharge and energy efficiency.
• Supply-chain constraints for critical components (heat exchangers, pumps, specialty coolants) amid global procurement pressures.

The following are some of the USPs of this report:
• A dedicated section focusing on the trends adopted by the key players operating in the market
• Competitive landscape of the companies operating in the ecosystem offering a holistic view of the APAC data center cooling market landscape
• Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the APAC data center cooling market at the region and country level and granularity by application and product segments
• Supply chain and value chain analysis
National regulations across APAC are increasingly shaping data center cooling strategies. China and India enforce energy efficiency norms and promote water reuse; Singapore restricts potable water use and favors closed-loop systems; Australia mandates low-GWP refrigerants and strict NABERS energy ratings. These rules are accelerating adoption of sustainable, low-impact cooling solutions.
Emerging cooling approaches like two-phase immersion and low-GWP refrigerants (e.g., HFOs) will play a critical role in enabling APAC data centers to manage ultra-high rack densities, meet sustainability goals, and comply with evolving regulations. These technologies offer improved thermal efficiency, reduced emissions, and lower water usage—vital in resource-constrained environments.
In water-stressed APAC regions, deploying free-cooling or immersion cooling can reduce water usage by up to 90% compared to traditional water-cooled systems. Carbon emissions can drop by 20–40% through reduced chiller energy consumption, improved thermal efficiency, and minimized reliance on high-GWP refrigerants—supporting both environmental compliance and operational cost savings.
