Home Opportunities for Industrial Players in Auxiliary Systems for Datacenter

For years, data centers were viewed primarily as digital infrastructure. That assumption is rapidly changing.

The rise of generative AI is transforming data centers into one of the world’s most demanding power and cooling ecosystems. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global data center electricity consumption is expected to more than double by 2030, reaching approximately 945 TWh annually equivalent to Japan’s current total electricity consumption. Demand is projected to grow at roughly 15% per year, more than four times faster than overall global electricity demand.

At the same time, AI workloads are fundamentally changing server architecture. GPU-intensive computing environments are pushing rack densities beyond 50 kW and increasingly toward 100 kW-class deployments. Every additional watt consumed creates heat. And every unit of heat must be managed without compromising uptime, reliability, or operating efficiency.

What the Webinar Covers

  • AI’s impact on power and cooling requirements
  • Evolution of liquid cooling and thermal management systems
  • Opportunities across pumps, pipes, heat exchangers, controls, and engineering services
  • The emerging AI data center value chain and competitive landscape
  • Strategic entry points for industrial and mobility-sector players
AI data centers are opening a new industrial growth frontier beyond IT and semiconductors. As power, cooling, reliability, and efficiency become mission-critical, demand is rising for liquid cooling, HVAC, heat exchangers, pumps, CDUs, controls, digital monitoring, and lifecycle services.
