Overview

Data Center Power & Cooling covers the critical power (UPS, switchgear, backup generation, power distribution) and cooling (CRAC/CRAH, chillers, and increasingly liquid cooling) systems that keep data centers running. It is a high-growth equipment-and-services niche led by power and thermal majors (Vertiv, Schneider Electric, Eaton, Johnson Controls), essential to every facility.

Demand is exploding with the AI-driven density surge, which is straining power infrastructure and forcing a shift from air to liquid cooling for high-density GPU racks. It is consolidating around scaled power-and-thermal providers and one of the most direct beneficiaries of the data-center boom; underlying equipment is profiled under HVAC and electrical-equipment manufacturing.

Market snapshot

FragmentationConsolidating

Data-center power and cooling equipment spans HVAC/refrigeration (NAICS 333415) and electrical equipment (3353), profiled under their manufacturing sectors, and is not separately disclosed here, so the segment is not separately sized.
