AI‑driven computing infrastructure is boosting demand for data center racks, with high‑density liquid‑cooled rack solutions becoming the industry standard, as competition shifts to a race of process sophistication and delivery capabilities.
As intelligent computing centers and the “East Data, West Computing” initiative continue to take shape, China’s IDC cabinet industry is undergoing a structural upgrade. Traditional data center cabinets can no longer meet the high‑power requirements of AI servers; high‑density cabinets that support liquid cooling have become the primary focus of procurement. Industry research indicates that by 2026, the domestic market for data center‑specific cabinets will maintain steady growth, with purchasing demand shifting from simple standard 42U cabinets toward customized IDC cabinets that offer higher load capacity, superior heat dissipation, and modular scalability. The cabinet manufacturing process now demands stricter standards in sheet‑metal precision, structural integrity, and welding techniques, requiring materials with enhanced load‑bearing capacity and deformation resistance to accommodate high‑density computing equipment. Meanwhile, tightening policies on data center Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) are compelling cabinet manufacturers to optimize airflow designs and integrate comprehensive environmental monitoring systems, including temperature and humidity sensors as well as smart door locks. Market demand has become increasingly diversified: large‑scale intelligent computing projects favor pre‑installed liquid‑cooled cabinets, while small and medium‑sized colocation facilities still predominantly rely on cost‑effective standard network cabinets. In terms of competition, leading brands leverage their integrated solution advantages to secure major contracts, whereas regional manufacturers with CNC sheet‑metal capabilities and flexible customization options are gaining greater traction in smaller projects and localized delivery scenarios. Downstream operators and IDC service providers place increasing emphasis on suppliers’ delivery timelines, product consistency, and after‑sales maintenance capabilities, gradually phasing out pure price‑driven competition. Looking ahead, high‑density computing cabinets and modular designs will continue to drive industry revenue growth, with precision sheet‑metal fabrication, advanced sealing technologies, and robust surface‑protection treatments emerging as key competitive differentiators.
