Data Centre HVACs refer to specialized heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems developed to regulate temperature, humidity, and airflow within data center environments. These systems maintain optimal operating conditions for servers, networking equipment, and other critical IT infrastructure by effectively dissipating heat generated during continuous operations. They play a crucial role in ensuring equipment reliability, preventing overheating, and supporting the overall energy efficiency of data center facilities.
The primary offerings of data centre heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) include solutions and services. Solutions refer to integrated systems designed to maintain optimal temperature, humidity, and airflow within data centres for reliable operation. The cooling technologies include air based cooling, liquid cooling, evaporative cooling, and hybrid cooling, and they are applied through room based cooling, row based cooling, and rack based cooling techniques. The key applications include air conditioning systems, chillers, air handling units, liquid cooling systems, cooling towers, economizer systems, control systems, and other equipment levels, while the end-use includes information technology and telecommunications, banking financial services and insurance, government and defense, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and electronic commerce, energy and utilities, and research and academic.
Tariffs on imported HVAC components such as compressors, chillers, heat exchangers, and precision control systems are increasing capital and operational costs in the data centre HVAC market. This is significantly impacting air conditioning systems, chillers, and liquid cooling solutions that rely on globally sourced components. Regions such as Asia-Pacific and Europe are most affected due to heavy dependence on imported cooling equipment and semiconductor-based control systems. However, tariffs are also encouraging local manufacturing of HVAC components, accelerating regional supply chain development, and driving innovation in cost-efficient and energy-optimized cooling technologies.

The data centre heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.1 billion in 2025 to $12.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing data center construction globally, rising demand for cloud computing services, growth in internet traffic and data storage needs, expansion of enterprise IT infrastructure, increasing reliance on traditional air-based cooling systems.
The data centre heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.16 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising hyperscale data center expansion, growing adoption of liquid and hybrid cooling technologies, increasing need for energy-efficient cooling solutions, expansion of edge data centers, growing focus on carbon-neutral and sustainable data center operations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of liquid cooling integrated HVAC systems in data centers, rising demand for energy-efficient precision cooling solutions, growing deployment of ai-based thermal load management systems, expansion of modular and scalable hvac architectures for hyperscale data centers, increasing focus on heat recovery and waste energy optimization systems.
The increasing prevalence of data centers and cloud infrastructure is anticipated to propel the growth of the data center HVACs market going forward. Data centers and cloud infrastructure denote centralized facilities and virtual platforms that store, manage, and process digital data while delivering scalable computing, networking, and storage capabilities to support applications and services. The rising prevalence of data centers and cloud infrastructure is primarily driven by the escalating demand for scalable and reliable digital services, as these systems enable seamless access to applications and data across multiple locations, thereby contributing to enhanced operational continuity. Data center HVACs play a crucial role in maintaining consistent temperature, humidity, and airflow, directly supporting the reliable functioning, performance optimization, and energy efficiency of servers and IT equipment within facilities. For instance, in October 2025, according to Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, a Canada-based organization, Malaysia's data center capacity reached approximately 689 MW, with an additional 520 MW under development, highlighting robust expansion supported by cloud adoption and digital transformation initiatives. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of data centers and cloud infrastructure is driving the growth of the data center HVACs market.
Leading companies operating in the data center HVAC market are focusing on technological innovation, such as advanced air-based cooling, to gain a competitive edge, improve energy efficiency, and meet the rising thermal demands of AI-driven and hyperscale data centers. Advanced air-based cooling refers to next-generation HVAC cooling systems that use optimized airflow management, high-efficiency components, and intelligent controls to remove heat from data center environments more efficiently than traditional air cooling methods. For example, in April 2025, Daikin, a Japan-based manufacturer of HVAC and refrigeration systems, launched Pro-C CRAH. The Pro-C CRAH offers an efficient and flexible air-based cooling solution designed for modern data centers. It delivers reliable thermal management with a cooling capacity ranging from 30 kW to 210 kW, supporting various data center sizes and configurations. The system features optimized chilled water heat exchangers, EC fans, and pressure-independent control valves to enhance energy efficiency and airflow performance.
