Data Center Expansion
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC · 2026-10-22 · Importance 51 · Surprise 64 · In source text
Data center orders grew more than 100% year to date in Process Automation, and management expects very high growth in 2027 based on pipeline visibility. Honeywell’s data center offering is expanding beyond Building Automation to include Process Automation power islands, controls, and energy storage. Liquid cooling is creating additional opportunities for Industrial Automation sensors and Sundyne pumps, although management expects that contribution to scale mainly after 2027. Growth outside the U.S., particularly in Europe, Korea, and India, is expected to benefit from Honeywell’s global presence.
