Direct-to-Chip Coolants Market to Hit $1.30 Billion by 2032 as AI Lifts Rack Densities

1 articles · Updated · PR Newswire · May 28

Summary

  • $1.30 billion is the projected size of the global data-center direct-to-chip coolants market by 2032, up from $0.18 billion in 2026, according to MarketsandMarkets.
  • A 38.6% CAGR is being driven by AI, cloud and high-performance computing workloads that push rack densities to roughly 60-120 kW, making traditional air cooling less effective.
  • Single-phase cooling is expected to hold the largest share, while water-glycol mixtures lead coolant types because they are cheaper to deploy, easier to integrate and reliable in existing facilities.
  • North America is forecast to post the fastest regional growth at 44.8%, supported by hyperscale expansion and AI infrastructure investment across major U.S. and Canadian data-center hubs.
