TrendForce projects liquid-cooling penetration in AI servers will rise from about 38% in 2025 to 53% in 2026 and near 60% in 2027. The rise is driven by broader adoption of liquid cooling in next‑generation AI platforms from NVIDIA, AMD and Google; as chip power and rack density increase, liquid cooling is shifting from an optional add‑on for high‑power servers to mainstream AI infrastructure. Penetration topping 50% in 2026 implies incremental AI capex will increasingly flow into cooling, power
