India, Aug. 21 -- TrendForce's latest research on the liquid cooling industry reveals that the rollout of NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72 rack servers in 2025 will accelerate AI data center upgrades, driving liquid cooling adoption from early pilot projects to large-scale deployment. Penetration in AI data centers is projected to surge from 14% in 2024 to 33% in 2025, with continued growth in the following years.

TrendForce notes that power consumption for GPUs and ASIC chips in AI servers has risen sharply. For example, NVIDIA's GB200/GB300 NVL72 systems have a TDP of 130-140 kW per rack, far exceeding the limits of traditional air-cooling systems. This has prompted the early adoption of liquid-to-air (L2A) cooling technologies.
