Data Center Cooling Fans Market Analysis

Benefits provided by data center cooling fans to different types of data centers include reliable performance levels, effective air temperature management, and easy installation in both SMEs and large-scale facilities, making them suitable for environments where excess heat is a constant challenge.  The high amount of heat generated by data centers and a rise in the number of data center construction activities across the globe are expected to boost the data center cooling fans market growth during the forecast period. In addition, as data center cooling fans are widely used in different types of data centers, such as colocation data centers, hyperscale data centers, and edge data centers, their demand is increasing globally. Furthermore, the rising demand for electronically commutated (EC) fans as an eco-friendly alternative that promotes environmentally friendly cooling methods by reducing operating costs is expected to create opportunities in the market. These fans use less energy, which contributes to overall energy efficiency in data centers. Moreover, technological advancements, a rise in demand for customized cooling fans, and an increase in R&D activities are propelling the data center cooling fans market.

Data Center Cooling Fans Market Overview

Data center cooling fans are critical components of data center cooling systems. These fans circulate air within the data center and remove heat produced by the servers and other equipment. Data centers use a variety of cooling fans, including centrifugal fans, axial fans, and mixed flow fans. These fans work in conjunction with a variety of cooling equipment and systems, including evaporative cooling, chilled water systems, and air-based cooling equipment such as heat sinks and pipes. The primary function of data center cooling fans is to absorb warm air and circulate it through various cooling devices, such as chilled water coils and evaporative cooling pads, to remove heat, improve airflow, and reduce the temperature in the data center.

Data Center Cooling Fans Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Data Center Construction Activities

The growing number of data center construction activities worldwide is accelerating the data center cooling fans market. For instance, in February 2023, the government of Maharashtra signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with UK-based Ark Data Centers and Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) for the construction of two new data centers in Pune. The MoU with NTT covers an investment of US$ 2.5 billion for the development of data centers in Pune, Mumbai, Thane, and Nagpur. This project generated the demand for cooling fans to manage temperature ranges and reduce overheating in the data centers. A few of the most significant data center projects of 2023 are mentioned below:

  • In June 2023, Amazon.com, Inc. announced plans to invest US$ 7.8 billion by 2030 to expand the construction of a data center in Ohio. This data center aims to be powered by at least 95% renewable energy. The company is committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and powering operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
  • In May 2023, Prime Data Centers announced the expansion of the Phoenix market in Avondale, Arizona. Prime Phoenix is a 66.5-acre campus featuring five data centers with 210 megawatts of critical power and 1.3 million square feet of space. The project will result in a high-density, sustainable data center campus that is designed to support hyperscale services providers, large Internet brands, worldwide technology enterprises, and Fortune 500 businesses.
  • In April 2023, Microsoft filed for its third data center in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The company plans to construct a six-building data center campus to increase the current capacity used for cloud-based computing.

Data centers are increasingly using cooling fans to improve the overall reliability and durability of the equipment. Cooling fans help reduce overheating, consequently eliminating premature hardware failure. This results in fewer equipment repairs and less downtime, increasing the data center's overall efficiency and productivity. Thus, the growing number of data center construction activities has surged the demand for data center cooling fans for maintaining temperate ranges and preventing overheating.

Rising Adoption of Electronically Commutated (EC) Fans

Electronically commutated (EC) fans are direct drive fans integrated into the cooling unit to manage temperature by removing excess heat in the data center. These fans are naturally more efficient than ordinary fans due to their unique design, which incorporates a brushless EC motor and a rearward curved motorized impeller. The benefits provided by EC fans to data centers are given below.

  • EC fans are easy to install on existing cooling units or specified servers. They offer a low maintenance advantage to data centers. These fans also reduce additional maintenance costs, as they have no fan belts that can wear out, and their integrated motors virtually eliminate fan dust.
  • EC fans are integrated with modern motor control algorithms that allow them to run at a peak by achieving exact speed control.
  • EC fans' high-efficiency motor design and precision airflow control provide the data center with continuous and reliable airflow. This ensures that vital IT equipment in data centers and server rooms receive the necessary cooling.
  • EC fans are integrated with a brushless motor that reduces the need for maintenance-intensive brushes, resulting in longer fan lifespans and less downtime.
  • EC fans create low noise, which is especially important in data centers and server rooms, where noise may be a major distraction for operators and lead to compliance difficulties.

Significant benefits provided by EC fans are creating opportunities for market growth. Moreover, the demand for high-performing EC motors for data center cooling fans encourages manufacturers to develop next-generation EC motors that enhance the performance of cooling fans. For instance, in April 2024, Blauberg Ventilatoren GmbH introduced the latest line of centrifugal fans powered by the EC102 500 W motor. These centrifugal fans are energy efficient, with the added convenience of the Modbus RS-485 data protocol. The EC fans are highly energy-efficient cooling solutions that reduce energy consumption by more than 10–15%, allowing data center designers to save money on upstream electrical infrastructure such as wiring, circuit breakers, and transformers. Hence, the demand for energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-efficient cooling fans for airflow management in data centers and server rooms is expected to create opportunities in the market.
