Asia’s data centre market is expanding rapidly, with capacity expected to more than double by 2030 and investment projected to exceed USD 800 billion. However, alongside this growth comes a critical challenge—cooling. Rising temperatures, tropical climates and increasing AI workloads are pushing traditional cooling systems to their limits.

In this video, Asian Insiders Managing Partner, Jari Hietala, explains why cooling has become a key priority for data centre operators across Asia. From Southeast Asia’s year-round heat to extreme summer conditions in countries such as Japan and South Korea, maintaining optimal operating temperatures is becoming more complex and energy-intensive.

Explore the latest cooling solutions shaping the industry, including liquid cooling, immersion cooling and hybrid systems, as well as AI-driven optimisation technologies. Learn how operators are balancing efficiency, cost and sustainability while addressing constraints related to energy, water and space.

With governments introducing stricter environmental expectations and demand continuing to surge, advanced cooling solutions are no longer optional—they are essential. Discover where the biggest opportunities lie for international companies with the expertise to support Asia’s next phase of data centre growth.
