IDC released a report saying that in the past two years, China's liquid-cooled server market has grown rapidly. In the first half of 2026, the revenue of Chinese liquid-cooled server market manufacturers increased by 153.1% year-on-year, and the compound annual growth rate of shipments over the next five years is expected to be close to 49%. However, what is more noteworthy than the growth rate is the changes taking place on the purchasing side: more and more high-density computing power projects are no longer selecting models on a “platform” basis, but instead are configuring and delivering computing nodes, inter-node interconnection, power supply, and in-cabinet liquid cooling as a complete system. The cabinet is changing from a physical container in a computer room to a delivery unit for purchasing computing power.
