| Scope | TrendForce, 17 August 2026. The 2025 figure is an estimate after the fact; the 2026 and 2027 figures are projections. TrendForce gives no installed-base denominator, and its measure counts all liquid cooling on AI chips, not single-phase DLC alone. The Google figure is as TrendForce reported it on that date. |
