Evaporative Cooler Market Analysis and Forecast by Size, Share, Growth, Trends 2031

The evaporative cooler market size is projected to reach US$ 7,842.71 million by 2031 from US$ 4,668.22 million in 2023. Evaporative coolers are one of the most cost-effective and energy-efficient area cooling solutions. Hence, their adoption at data centers is increasing tremendously. For instance, in September 2021, Huawei launched an Indirect Evaporative Cooling solution at HUAWEI CONNECT 2021. The company developed this next-generation solution to upgrade air handling units (AHU) to environment handling units (EHU), which can further help reduce data center power usage effectiveness (PUE) and embrace carbon neutrality. Moreover, as evaporative coolers are the most viable and economical, their demand in the residential sector is increasing. Various market players are developing advanced evaporative coolers to cater to the rising residential demand.

Evaporative Cooler Market Analysis

The key stakeholder in the evaporative cooler market includes component & raw material supplier, evaporative cooler manufacturers, indirect customers, and direct customers. In recent years, the demand for evaporative coolers has been proliferating due to the rising global temperature and growing focus on energy conservation. The component & raw material suppliers offer various different materials for the manufacture of evaporative coolers. Raw materials include metal sheets, coatings, electronic components, fans, and copper wires among others.

Symphony, Munters, Baltimore Aircoil, and CoolBoss are some of the most prominent evaporative cooler manufacturers around the globe. Players from Asia Pacific and North America have been dominating the market, while European manufacturers are gaining traction fast. The evaporative cooler manufacturers primarily sell their products to two types of customers – direct customers and indirect customers. Indirect customers include dealers, sales agencies, wholesalers, and volume retailers who purchase the evaporative coolers from the manufacturer and supplies to individual, commercial establishments, and industries. When the latter is supplied by the manufacturer directly, they become direct customers of the manufacturers.

Evaporative Cooler Market Overview

An evaporative cooler is a type of air conditioner that harnesses the power of evaporation to cool air temperature. It generally consists of a fan, a water reservoir, a heat exchange material/thick pads, a pump for water distribution, and additional controls for fine-tuning. The evaporative cooler works by cooling the air through evaporating water; this process is called adiabatic cooling. The direct-type coolers contain a fan that draws warm outside air into the unit and cools it by passing it over water-soaked pads, which causes the water to evaporate. The evaporative cooler can bring down the air temperature by 15°F to 40°F of the space to be cooled. Some air coolers also have different parts, such as air filters and pads, which can improve air quality by minimizing mildew growth and reducing allergens.

Evaporative Cooler Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Adoption of Evaporative Coolers in Data Centers

Earlier, data centers were constructed in cooler environmental regions. However, with the rising need to reduce latency and construct the data center infrastructure closer to the customers, the demand for data centers in Southeast Asian countries is increasing significantly. In Southeast Asia, Singapore is considered a hotbed for global data center construction because of its robust infrastructure, stable internet connectivity, and talented workforce. The rising demand for data centers in the country is pushing them to build a Green Data Centre Technology Roadmap. Through this, the country is taking the initiative for a more sustainable data center industry. This plan covers both physical IT and software, and it will help reduce carbon emissions that are caused due to data centers. The evaporative cooling technologies that can be used by the country are passive cooling, direct liquid cooling, and free cooling.

Moreover, the adoption of liquid cooling systems for data centers is increasing in the US. According to the survey done by Informa Engage in association with Dell Technologies, in 2020, ~37% of respondents already adopted evaporative cooling over conventional computer room air conditioner (CRAC)/computer room air handler (CRAH), an increase of 6% from 2017. Amazon Web Services, in its efforts to build a sustainable business, have been deploying direct evaporative cooling across several of its data centers during summer times since past 5 years. Therefore, the growing adoption of evaporative coolers for data centers globally is fueling the growth of the evaporative cooler market.

Increasing Demand for Cost-Effective Cooling Solution

Evaporative coolers use less energy which makes them a more affordable cooling solution. Also, evaporative coolers consist of fewer parts when compared with air conditioning systems, which include a fan, pump, and water. This lowers the ownership costs of the evaporative cooling systems, making them a more cost-effective solution.

According to the Canstar Blue report, the average reverse cycle split system air conditioner costs ~US$ 0.60 per hour, whereas an evaporative cooling system cost around US$ 0.10 per hour and another US$ 0.02 for water. It is also seen that ducted evaporative cooling, which is powered by inverter technology, has an annual running cost of US$ 65. In addition, ducted refrigerated air conditioning, with a 3.5-star energy rating, has annual costs of US$ 150. This price can further rise if the refrigerant ducted system is used for more than one room. Moreover, evaporative coolers only use water and no artificial refrigerants, because of which they do not exhaust the ozone layer. Thus, the evaporative cooler will help save up to 55% on energy costs and ~70 % on running costs compared to the refrigerated air conditioner. In addition, it is also seen that in Europe, due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the energy cost has increased tremendously. The people in the region are moving toward more energy-efficient and cost-efficient solutions. This will further create an opportunity for the growth of the evaporative cooler market.

Evaporative Cooler Market Share Analysis by Geography

The global evaporative cooler market is broadly segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). The evaporative cooler market in North America is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. Global warming has resulted in a rise in temperature across North American countries, which is creating a demand for eco-friendly cooling solutions. As refrigerant air cooler is one of the causes of increasing global warming, people are adopting evaporative coolers as an eco-friendly alternative.

In addition, the increasing construction activities, such as building residential and commercial spaces, are creating the demand for evaporative coolers across North America. Also, these coolers provide eco-friendly cooling, which is increasing its demand in North America. The number of single-family homes and privately‐owned housing under construction increased to the highest level in North America since 2010. According to the US Census Bureau and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's new residential construction statistics, privately‐owned housing completions recorded an annual rate of 1,309,000 in February 2022, an increase of 5.9% from the January estimate of 1,236,000. Furthermore, in February 2022, single‐family housing completions recorded a rate of 1,034,000; 12.1% higher than that of January 2022 at 922,000. Similarly, according to Jonas Construction Software Inc, the construction sector in Canada is expected to be worth more than US $ 430 billion and is expected to grow at 8.5% by 2024. Thus, the growing residential construction activities in the region are expected to fuel the evaporative cooler market growth during the forecast period.
