DCD Intelligence | The Future of Power and Cooling: Market forecasts and regional demand outlook for 2027

AI-driven densification is rewriting the rules for data center power and cooling. Rack densities are climbing, liquid cooling is moving from pilot to mainstream, and grid constraints are reshaping where and how fast capacity can be delivered. For vendors and investors, the question is no longer whether these markets will grow, but where the demand will land, which technologies will win share, and how quickly.

In this launch briefing, the DCD Intelligence analyst team presents its proprietary 5-year forecasts for the data center power and cooling technology markets. The team will set out the trends that will define conversations between vendors and operators in 2027, and give attendees a first look at the new DCD Intelligence platform.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• Market forecasts: Sales outlooks for key technologies and where growth is set to accelerate
• The MW buildout: MW growth projections by major market, and what this means for supply chains and investment
• 2027 priorities: The trends and pressure points shaping procurement decisions between vendors and operators
• Platform preview: A first look at DCD Intelligence, the new market intelligence platform built for the data center ecosystem

While this is an open session for all DCD Connect attendees, please note that DCD Intelligence competitors will not be allowed in this briefing.
