Rack-based Coolant Distribution Units (CDU) Market Summary

Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) is an essential component in liquid cooling systems that distribute coolant or water evenly throughout the system. The CDU regulates and controls the flow of coolant, maintaining the desired temperature and flow rate. It works in conjunction with pumps, radiators, heat exchangers, and control units to ensure the cooling system runs smoothly and efficiently. The CDU also helps keep the system clean by removing impurities from the coolant, preventing clogging and damage to other components in the system. Overall, the CDU plays a critical role in maintaining the proper functioning of liquid cooling systems.

A rack-based CDU can have a cooling capacity in the 60 kW to 200 kW range. The lower range of this cooling capacity is sufficient for cooling a fully populated compute rack with high-density 2U4N or GPU servers. The upper range at 200 kW cooling capacity allow one CDU be used for two compute racks. This saves on rack space and can make the tubing more economical.

Fast Market Growth: In the current landscape dominated by AI-driven applications and dense chip architectures, liquid cooling has emerged as a pivotal technology. CDU, as a key part in liquid cooling system, will benefit from the prevalence of AI and high-performance computing (HPC). The CDU market is expected to experience fast growth in the coming years.

Intensified Competition: As showing great market potential, many investors and companies have laid their attentions on the CDU market. With more and more companies will enter in the CDU industry, the whole market competition will be intensified in the coming years.

Continued Technology Innovation: CDU include liquid-to-liquid and liquid-to-air types. Though limited in cooling capability compared with liquid-to-liquid CDUs, liquid-to-air CDUs don't require water pipes, can be installed more easily, and take less space and lower initial cost than liquid-to-liquid CDUs. While although liquid-to-liquid CDUs hold the best cooling performance of all types. They require, among others, pipes to be installed to operate with a facility's water. More research and technology innovation will be put on liquid-to-liquid CDUs by CDU manufacturers to provide high performance CDU to data centers.

According to the new market research report "Global Rack-based Coolant Distribution Units (CDU) Market Report 2025-2031", published by QYResearch, the global Rack-based Coolant Distribution Units (CDU) market size is projected to grow from USD 627 million in 2024 to USD 2,228 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 19.0% during the forecast period.

Market Drivers:

One of the primary drivers behind the uptick in liquid cooling adoption is the escalating power density of modern IT equipment. With the proliferation of high-performance servers, GPUs, and AI accelerators, data centers are generating more heat than ever before. Traditional air cooling systems struggle to effectively dissipate the heat generated by these dense workloads, leading to hotspots and reduced operational efficiency. Liquid cooling, on the other hand, offers a more efficient means of heat transfer and dissipation. By circulating coolant directly in contact with hot components, such as processors and graphics cards, liquid cooling systems can effectively remove heat at a faster rate than air-based solutions. This capability enables data centers to accommodate higher power densities while maintaining optimal operating temperatures, thereby improving overall performance and energy efficiency.

Restraint:

Air cooling uses air conditioning, fans, and vents to circulate ambient air, expelling the hot air produced by computing equipment. It's the most traditional method and forms the basis for many data center cooling strategies. Compared with traditional air cooling technology, the installation with additional power and water, higher cost as well as other questions bring great challenges to promote liquid cooling technology market share, which will impact the demand of CDU accordingly.

Opportunity:

As data center footprints continue to shrink due to urbanization and real estate constraints, optimizing space utilization has become a pressing priority for data center managers. Liquid cooling solutions offer a compact and space-efficient alternative to traditional air cooling systems, enabling data centers to maximize their rack densities and floor space without compromising thermal performance. Moreover, the scalability of liquid cooling systems makes them well-suited for accommodating future growth and expansion. By modularizing cooling infrastructure and deploying liquid cooling units in a distributed manner, data centers can easily scale their cooling capacity in response to changing workload demands. This flexibility not only enhances operational agility but also streamlines the deployment of new IT equipment without the need for extensive retrofitting or reconfiguration.
