Furthermore, the growing popularity of OTT platforms and streaming services has led to a remarkable increase in data volumes; which is projected to fuel the demand. The rapid growth experienced by cloud services, the growing prominence of big data, and improved penetration of connected devices are encouraging organizations to increase their investments in building new data center facilities. All these factors are anticipated to boost the demand for data center cooling systems. This demand is directly proportional to an increase in the number of data center facilities globally. The increased spending on IT infrastructure after the pandemic is creating avenues for the expansion of new and existing data center facilities across the world. Moreover, software-based data centers are also contributing to market growth by offering an enhanced level of automation.

A shift toward digital transformation amidst the pandemic further prompted the need for building data center facilities that can provide scalability, security, and flexibility. Therefore, as investments in new data center facilities witness an increase, the demand for the data center cooling industry witnesses a favorable outlook. However, the need for specialized infrastructure and high investment costs for arranging and maintaining these data center solutions are anticipated to hinder industry growth. Furthermore, cooling issues during incidences, such as power outages, and reduced carbon emissions are projected to pose challenges to the industry. The pandemic had a major impact on this market. The lack of employees and limited investment costs disturbed data center cooling technology production & sales.

Key companies & governments adopted new safety measures to develop and improve the practices. However, as technology advanced, the industry's sales rate improved as it targeted the right audience. Data centers are a hotspot of all critical IT infrastructures across several verticals including manufacturing, BFSI, retail, and healthcare. The need to manage huge volumes of data while offering networking capabilities is the key reason driving data center investments in these verticals. Data centers emit a high amount of heat and hence require cooling solutions to keep the system working without any outages or other dysfunctions. Thus, data center cooling solutions are of paramount significance to any data center facility.
