Summary
$1.405 billion is the projected size of the mixed-density data center cooling control software market by 2036, up from $382.4 million in 2026, adding about $1.02 billion over the decade.
AI and HPC deployments are pushing liquid-cooled high-density racks into facilities that still run air-cooled capacity, increasing demand for software that can coordinate conditions from the rack level to plant-side cooling equipment.
Optimization and control is forecast to lead software functions with a 29% share in 2026, while dry coolers also hold 29% of secondary-loop demand as operators seek water-lean, software-managed heat rejection.
The strongest 2026 demand is expected in 251-500 kW rack-density deployments at 34% share and hyperscale AI facilities at 48%, where repeatable thermal orchestration is critical.
South Korea leads assessed national growth at 15.1% CAGR through 2036, ahead of France at 14.8% and the UAE at 14.5%, while integration risk and fail-safe commissioning still slow closed-loop automation.
