Edge Computing Market Size

Edge Computing Market Analysis

The Edge Computing Market size is estimated at USD 15.59 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 32.19 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 15.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The increasing adoption of IoT is augmented by 5G operations, primarily driving the growth of the market studied. A significant share of industrial IoT service providers and aggregators are offering 5G capable network offerings that are expected to adopt edge computing over the coming years for handling the sheer amount of data.

• The key players that are significantly active in the market studied include cisco, HPE, Dell, and Huawei. They have been developing edge computing products that adapt to harsh working conditions and operating environments at industrial sites, such as anti-electromagnetic interference, anti-dust, anti-explosion, anti-vibration, and anti-current/voltage fluctuations. These companies are making significant efforts in the edge computing market to create the next big thing by engaging in partnerships and making frequent product developments.
• Edge computing is being led by initiatives like OpenFog Consortium, an organization headed by vendors in the market studied, including Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell EMC, as well as academic institutions like Princeton University and Purdue University. The consortium aims at developing reference architectures for fog and edge computing deployments.
• In January 2022, Verizon and AWS partnered to expand to 30% more metro area locations in the United States with mobile edge computing with the addition of Charlotte, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. The combination minimizes the latency and network hops required to connect from an application hosted on the platform to the end user's device.
• The edge computing market is dominated by major vendors that cover a significant share of the market studied, and they are intensely competing to gain a foothold in different regional markets. Owing to this, vendors are involved in several partnerships and alliances to gain market presence and technological capabilities.
• For instance, In April 2022, Ball extended its agreement with AWS. This collaboration aims to launch the first public multi-access edge computing (MEC) with AWS Wavelength in Canada. 5G network is expected to bring new growth opportunities to the edge computing market.
• The COVID-19 pandemic positively affects the 5G and multi-access edge computing (MEC) deployments as businesses strategize service speed and low latency as key differentiators. The tight integration of network and compute to support next-generation apps is the way forward.
