Data Center Piping Market Surges to $13B by 2035, Driven by AI Cooling Demand
The global data center piping market is projected to reach $13.17 billion by 2035, expanding at a 33.2% CAGR, according to a DataM Intelligence report analyzing the impact of AI cooling infrastructure.
New York – The market for piping systems in data centers is experiencing a significant transformation, driven by the escalating demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and their associated cooling requirements, according to DataM Intelligence. The global data center piping market, valued at approximately $749.92 million in 2025, is forecast to grow substantially, reaching an estimated $13.17 billion by 2035. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.2% between 2026 and 2035.
The surge in AI data centers has elevated piping from a passive component to a critical layer of thermal infrastructure. Higher power densities within server racks necessitate advanced cooling solutions, making piping systems integral to maintaining operational uptime and preventing potential business continuity disruptions. Pipe failures are no longer just maintenance issues but can represent significant operational risks.
Key players are emerging to meet these advanced requirements. DataM Intelligence highlights GF Piping Systems, Parker Hannifin, and Gates Industrial Corporation as significant contributors, offering a diverse range of products including plastic piping, valves, fittings, and flexible hose systems. Companies like Perma-Pipe and BRUGG Pipes are also noted for their specialized solutions in thermal transport and pre-insulated piping.
Geographically, North America currently holds the largest share of the market. However, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the fastest growth. Flexible pipes and hoses constituted approximately 28.2% of the market in 2025, a segment boosted by their ease of installation and routing flexibility in high-density data center environments.
