An IDC report reveals that China's liquid cooling server market has experienced rapid growth over the past two years, with manufacturer revenue soaring 153.1% year-over-year in the first half of 2026. Shipments are projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 49% over the next five years. Perhaps more noteworthy are the shifts on the procurement side: a growing number of high-density computing projects are moving away from "per-unit" purchasing and instead configuring and delivering computing nodes, inter-node interconnection, power supply, and in-cabinet liquid cooling support as a complete system. In this context, the cabinet is evolving from a mere physical enclosure into a delivery unit for computing procurement.
