Evaporative cooling is a process where water absorbs heat from the air, leading to its evaporation and a subsequent reduction in the surrounding air temperature. This method is widely used in cooling systems, where hot air passes through water-soaked pads, resulting in a temperature drop. It is known for being energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, particularly in dry climates.
The main types of evaporative cooling include direct evaporative cooling, indirect evaporative cooling, and two-stage evaporative cooling. Direct evaporative cooling involves cooling the air directly by passing it through a wet pad or media, which causes the water to evaporate and lower the air temperature. Key technologies in this field include pad cooling, spray cooling, and hybrid cooling. These systems are distributed through various channels, including big-box retailers, HVAC contractors and distributors, and others. Applications span residential, commercial, industrial settings, confinement farming, and additional uses.

This evaporative cooling market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The evaporative cooling market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.41 billion in 2024 to $6.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions, increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, growth in industrial applications, urbanization leading to higher cooling needs, regulatory support for energy conservation, and improvements in manufacturing processes reducing production costs.
The evaporative cooling market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of the construction sector in developing regions, innovations in material sciences enhancing cooling efficiency, integration of IoT and AI technologies in HVAC systems, demand for climate-resilient infrastructure due to climate change, development of hybrid cooling systems combining evaporative and traditional methods. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of smart and connected cooling systems leveraging IoT technologies, expansion in residential applications due to increasing urbanization and housing demand, growth in data centers requiring efficient cooling solutions, advancements in material sciences improving cooling efficiency, rise in demand from emerging economies with hot climates, and integration of evaporative cooling with renewable energy sources for enhanced energy efficiency.
The growing emphasis on reducing carbon footprints is expected to drive the expansion of the evaporative cooling market in the future. Reducing carbon footprints involves taking actions and measures to lower the amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted into the atmosphere due to human activities. Efforts to cut carbon emissions focus on improving energy efficiency, shifting to renewable energy sources, promoting sustainable transportation, and implementing better waste management practices. Evaporative cooling systems typically consume less electricity than conventional air conditioning systems. These systems utilize the natural process of water evaporation to cool the air, requiring much less energy. For example, in March 2024, the European Environment Agency, an EU-based agency, reported a 2% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 across the European Union compared to 2021. Additionally, in May 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, published that global energy investment in clean energy rose significantly from 1,408 billion USD in 2021 to 1,740 billion USD in 2023, underscoring the increasing commitment to environmentally sustainable practices. As a result, the heightened focus on reducing carbon footprints is driving the growth of the evaporative cooling market.
Leading companies in the evaporative cooling market are developing advanced cooling solutions, including next-generation evaporative cooling systems, to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cooling technologies. These advanced cooling solutions incorporate next-generation evaporative cooling technologies, utilizing innovative methods such as indirect and direct evaporative cooling processes to effectively reduce air temperatures while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact. For example, in January 2024, SPX Cooling Tech, LLC, a US-based manufacturer of evaporative cooling solutions, launched the OlympusV Adiabatic Systems. This series provides versatile cooling solutions for commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, and HVAC systems, featuring the Recold OlympusV CO2 Cooler, Recold OlympusV Condenser, and Marley OlympusV Fluid Cooler, all of which can be customized in size and coil type to meet specific operational requirements. Designed with a focus on water conservation and energy efficiency, these systems primarily operate in dry mode, minimizing water usage during peak periods and incorporating advanced smart controls that adapt to real-time conditions, making them ideal for environments such as grocery stores, food processing plants, and data centers.
In July 2024, Munters Group, a Sweden-based company specializing in energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions, acquired Geoclima Group for an undisclosed amount.
