Edge Computing Industry Overview

The global edge computing market size was valued at USD 16.45 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.9% from 2024 to 2030.

Edge computing adds a layer of complexity to organizations by enabling a diverse set of stakeholders to maintain IT infrastructures, networking, software development, traffic distribution, and service management. Edge also combines software, hardware solutions, and networking architecture to cover various use cases in several businesses. Edge computing is currently in its early phases of development. Its deployment and operating models have yet to evolve; nonetheless, edge computing is expected to offer significant growth prospects for new entrants soon.

Businesses use possibilities to respond to the present situation by providing new services. The telecommunications industry is making rapid progress in video conferencing software like Microsoft Teams and Zoom and is creating new solutions to meet the growing demand.

Edge computing demand is expected to rise in the post-COVID-19 pandemic over the next couple of years due to the continued emphasis on developing communications infrastructure. Working from home is quickly becoming the new normal. In addition, as the healthcare system gains traction through online consultations, a network design requiring high security and low-latency connectivity is expected to develop. Telecom firms are expected to take advantage of the opportunity since the cost of adding extra switching capabilities or establishing full-sized data centers will outweigh the cost of edge facilities per unit. This cost advantage will aid telecom businesses in migrating to large-scale data center installations in the coming years.

Edge computing has grown into a solution-specific technology, with special tools and architectures designed for specific use cases. Some use cases where the edge is expected to acquire a considerable share throughout the predicted time include next-generation CDNs, network function, 5G virtualization, and game streaming. This is the first phase toward a future wherein the edge becomes broadly available.
