You can create a billion-dollar business by offering new materials and devices to tackle the now very urgent need for more and better cooling. Global warming and belching AI datacenters are just part of that need. New solid-state cooling is being welcomed as a better answer in many cases. It may rise to $67 billion sales in 2047 and its subset with the largest dollar potential is caloric cooling.

On cue, the new 290-page, commercially-oriented Zhar Research report, “Caloric Cooling Materials, Systems Opportunities: Magnetocaloric, Elastocaloric, Barocaloric, Electrocaloric Markets, Technology 2027-2047” is your guide. Here are the massive research advances in 2025 through 2026 that can give you advantage and the companies for you to acquire or partner. Six chapters, 11 SWOT appraisals, 29 infograms and 31 forecast lines with explanations and graphs make it clear without academic obscurity.
The Executive Summary and Conclusions (42 pages) has the basics, the 17 key conclusions, forecast lines, roadmaps and most of the SWOT appraisal so it is complete in itself for those with limited time.
The Introduction (37 pages) puts cooling needs and solutions in context, showing new needs from the small devices such as arriving 1kW microchips to the large, all of which may be cooled more strongly and economically with caloric technologies. See infograms “Attention vs maturity of cooling technologies 3 curves 2027, 2037, 2047”, “Twelve solid-state cooling operating principles compared by 10 capabilities”, “Future of thermal interface materials and other cooling by thermal conduction” and “Undesirable materials widely used and proposed: this is an opportunity for you”.
Chapter 3. Phase Change Cooling: Caloric in Context, Options compared takes 16 pages then Chapter 4. Seven Emerging Manufacturers of Caloric Cooling Systems (10 pages) details the caloric cooling capabilities and activities of these manufacturers and putative manufacturers. Learn how activity is at an early stage but with some proven success, so now is the time for you to get in at the beginning.
Chapter 5. Caloric Cooling takes a full 113 pages because here are the four leading options appraised in detail with pie charts, tables, SWOT appraisals, including the flood of very important advances in 2025 and 2026 being explained. Primarily that means solid-state electrocaloric, magnetocaloric, barocaloric and elastocaloric options including their shortcoming and what you can do to overcome them and gain advantage. However, the less important aspects such as liquid options and twistocalorics are also covered, briefly.
The report ends with Chapter 6. Enabling Technology: Metamaterial Cooling Materials and Devices (64 pages) because these constructs are used in many caloric devices and alongside them to further improve complete cooling systems. This report, “Caloric Cooling Materials, Systems Opportunities: Magnetocaloric, Elastocaloric, Barocaloric, Electrocaloric Markets, Technology 2027-2047” is key to your success in this new and exciting field.
