reported 2026 single-phase cold-plate/direct-to-chip share of the liquid-cooling market
~55%forecast
| Value kind | forecast — Forecasts are time-bound outlooks, not specifications; test decisions across plausible scenarios. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Reported forecast estimate, not a measured deployment census or a project cooling-selection rule. The cited PMR cold-plate category is broader than single-phase DTC. |
| Caveat | Reported forecast estimate, not measured fleet share; PMR's published cold-plate category is broader than single-phase DTC and is not a project-selection rule. |
