The Europe Modular Chillers Market is expected to grow from USD 0.96 billion in 2025 to USD 1.69 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 5.82%, driven by stringent EU energy-efficiency regulations, sustainability initiatives, and increasing demand for high-efficiency inverter-based cooling systems.
Austin, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Modular Chillers Market size was valued at USD 3.31 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 6.11 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.33% over the forecast period of 2026-2035.
As a result of their flexibility, they can also be relocated more efficiently, installed better, and integrated into other systems. The chiller units that have inverters to drive their compressors perform much better in part-load situations than the standard fixed-speed chillers do.

The U.S. Modular Chillers Market size was valued at USD 0.40 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 0.77 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 6.78% from 2026 to 2035.
Modular chillers for the USA market are positively influenced by the existence of more commercial buildings, developing data centers, increased presence of healthcare institutions, and preference for higher efficiency cooling systems that use LEED and ENERGY STAR building standards.
Energy Efficiency Requirements and Growing Data Center Demand are Factors Driving Market Growth Globally
The rising cost of electricity and the increasing efficiency requirements for buildings have compelled building owners to replace their old, inefficient chillers with modern modular units that offer increased efficiency. At the same time, the current global construction boom of data centers fueled by AI, cloud computing, and streaming services requires reliable and scalable cooling solutions. Modular chillers serve as the perfect solution for data centers due to the redundancy involved in maintaining a server’s cooling system despite the failure of a cooling module.
Segmentation Analysis:
By Type
Water-Cooled chillers held the largest share in 2025 as they are ideally suited for large commercial buildings, hospitals, and industrial plants that require maximum efficiency with the capability to handle cooling loads exceeding 500 kW. Air-Cooled is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.45% due to the need for a cooling tower and condensed water system.
By Application
Commercial led with 47.80% share due to the rapid development of data centers which require thousands of megawatts to be added in new cooling capacity. Residential is the fastest-growing application segment at a CAGR of 7.44% as advanced heat pump based modular systems to provide both heating and cooling need to be widely accepted by homeowners who desire full climate control.
By Compressor Technology
Scroll compressors dominate the modular chiller market due to their compact size, quiet operation, reliability, and good energy efficiency. screw compressors segment is expected to grow with the fastest CAGR as the higher efficiency at high loads and the design to continue operating with occasional liquid refrigerant slugs make it a preferred choice.
By Capacity
Market for commercial modular chiller is still dominated by the capacity of 200 to 500 kW as this size of machine is ideal for middle-sized office building, hotels and refrigeration plants for hospitals. Above 500 kW machines are mainly used in heavy industries and commercial buildings.
