01 Increasing Concentration of Server Space to Support Market Growth The needed performance does not demand the usage of high-density servers in conventional data centers. New technologies such as deep learning, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and blockchain need the processing of large volumes of data. Immersion cooling can manage greater heat loads than air cooling, which increases the market need for immersion cooling systems. Immersion cooling solutions can keep these high-density server racks cool at a low-cost while being non-hazardous and environmentally friendly. The advantages of employing a nontoxic and less corrosive dielectric fluid for liquid immersion cooling are attracting an increasing number of end-users and driving the market for immersion cooling.
02 Growing Carbon Footprint of Data Centers to Bolster Market Growth Immersion cooling is one example of advanced liquid cooling that has become increasingly popular due to several important factors, including the expanding data center industry's carbon footprint. According to a recent study by 3M, a well-known synthetic coolant supplier in the immersion cooling market, electronic components in data centers with conventional air-based cooling systems consume 38% of the electricity needed to keep the building at an occupiable temperature.
01 Lack of Recognition to Restrict Market Growth Immersion cooling is an emerging technique with numerous high-performance computing (HPC) applications, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptocurrency mining, and data mining. Microsoft's data center along the eastern Columbia River has transitioned from conventional fan cooling to liquid cooling. Google has adopted immersion cooling for its latest artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. However, end-users such as Facebook and Amazon, among other hyper scalers, do not recognize this technology appropriately. Most large corporations are in the early stages of utilizing it for emerging technologies such as AI, machine learning, and cloud computing. Thus, the lack of end-user recognition impedes the market's growth.
01 Growth of Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, High-Performance Electronics, and Telecom to Boost Market Opportunities Artificial intelligence and blockchain are gaining popularity nowadays. These technologies necessitate more potent processing units, such as graphics processing units (GPU) and Tensor Processing Units (TPU), with much higher thermal points in their hardware accelerators. Immersion cooling technology is ideally adapted to serve these more outstanding power processing units in an environmentally responsible manner. Immersion cooling is necessary for enterprises to take advantage of these technologies, as it permits substantial performance benefits. These methods also reduce a data center's electricity usage and PUE. Additionally, computationally intensive workloads are produced by high-frequency trading systems and blockchain-based applications, necessitating ultra-high-performance central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). This results in increasing demand during the forecast period.
