Data Center Liquid Cooling Manifolds Market
Dublin, Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Data Center Liquid Cooling Manifolds Market by Type, Cooling Technology Type, Data Center Type, Material Type, Design Type, Installation Type, and Region – Global Forecast to 2033” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global data center liquid-cooling manifolds market is projected to grow from USD 0.94 billion in 2026 to USD 6.33 billion by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate of 31.2%. Rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing, cloud services, and data-intensive applications is accelerating demand for advanced data center thermal management infrastructure.
Increasing rack power densities are reducing the effectiveness of conventional air-cooling systems and encouraging hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data center operators to adopt liquid-cooling architectures. The expanding deployment of direct-to-chip and immersion cooling technologies is creating significant demand for manifolds that provide reliable coolant distribution, precise flow control, and effective thermal management across high-density computing environments.
Investments in AI-ready infrastructure, GPU-based servers, and high-density data center campuses are supporting market growth. Energy-efficiency requirements, operating-cost reduction initiatives, sustainability programs, and carbon-reduction targets are also accelerating the transition to liquid cooling. As cloud computing, digital services, and global data generation continue to expand, liquid-cooling manifolds are becoming critical components of next-generation data center cooling ecosystems.
In-Rack Manifolds Expected to Retain the Largest Market Share
By manifold type, the in-rack manifolds segment is estimated to hold the largest share of the data center liquid-cooling manifolds market throughout the forecast period. Demand is being driven by the deployment of high-density AI and GPU servers requiring precise rack-level coolant distribution. In-rack manifolds support flow balancing across multiple cold plates and compute nodes, improving thermal performance and system reliability.
The segment also benefits from the growing adoption of direct-to-chip cooling and modular data center designs. Compact, rack-integrated manifolds simplify installation, maintenance, and scalability compared with centralized distribution systems. Hyperscale operators increasingly favor these solutions because they provide localized coolant management and flexibility for future capacity expansion as rack power densities rise.
Direct-to-Chip Cooling to Lead by Cooling Technology
By cooling technology, direct-to-chip cooling is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Its growth is supported by the need to manage heat generated by high-power CPUs and GPUs used in AI, machine learning, and HPC applications. Direct-to-chip systems deliver strong thermal performance while supporting higher computing density, lower energy consumption, and improved data center efficiency.
Compatibility with both new-build and existing data center environments also supports cost-effective deployment. Increasing standardization of direct-to-chip cooling among major technology companies and server OEMs is strengthening its position as a preferred liquid-cooling architecture across hyperscale and enterprise facilities. Higher-density server racks will further increase demand for manifold systems capable of precise and reliable coolant distribution.
Hyperscale Data Centers to Account for the Largest Share
By data center type, hyperscale data centers are projected to hold the largest market share. Major technology companies continue to invest in large facilities and multi-campus developments to support cloud computing, AI workloads, digital services, and extensive data processing and storage requirements.
Hyperscale facilities operate at exceptionally high IT loads and rack densities, creating substantial demand for large-scale liquid-cooling infrastructure. Continued construction of hyperscale campuses across multiple regions is expected to increase investment in manifolds and related thermal management systems throughout the forecast period.
