DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Edge Computing – Global Market Trajectory & Analytics” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Global market for Edge Computing estimated at US$4 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$17.8 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 27% over the analysis period.
Edge computing is rapidly emerging as a technology innovation that can be widely adopted across industries. Edge meets local computing requirements as data is processed in micro-data centers. Applications that are process-intensive, involving advanced technologies like AI, ML and IoT, continue to witness rapid development.
These applications consume huge loads of data for performing large scale algorithms, creating a strong demand growth scenario for localized data storage and computer network resources. IoT, IIoT and increased adoption of technologies like AI and ML are thus supporting strong growth of edge computing. The growing number of smart city initiatives in countries across the world is also promoting growth for edge computing.
These initiatives are leading to increase in edge computing implementation by telecom companies, responsible for the deployment of the necessary networks. 5G cellular technologies, delivering massive bandwidths along with supporting a wide array of devices including smartphones, autonomous vehicles as well as large scale IoT, represents another prominent growth promoting factor for the market.
Growing emphasis on process automation and cost reduction combined with intensifying business competition is also anticipated to drive market growth. Increased adoption of edge computing for data center application would also lead to market growth.
Hardware, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to grow at a 26.2% CAGR to reach US$10.4 Billion by the end of the analysis period. After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Platform segment is readjusted to a revised 28.3% CAGR for the next 7-year period.
This segment currently accounts for a 19.8% share of the global Edge Computing market. Technologies, such as MEC, EDC, and AMR are increasingly employing routers, sensors, gateways, and edge nodes, which is propelling the requirement for hardware components in edge computing. The hardware segment is also expected to grow at a substantial pace over the next decade, attributed to large-scale deployment of hardware components in edge computing services.
By Application, Smart Cities Segment to Reach $7.1 Billion by 2026
Edge computing is one of the vibrant elements behind the emergence of smart cities owing to its ability to enable plethora of new applications and support next-generation smart city solutions.
The technology is anticipated to be extensively used by city governors and urban planners for leveraging emerging data-driven technology to find real solutions for pressing challenges. In the recent years, an increasing number of smart cities have started investing in edge computing to avoid reliance on the cloud for data processing and analytics. In the global Smart Cities (Application) segment, USA, Canada, Japan, China and Europe will drive the 28.4% CAGR estimated for this segment.
These regional markets, accounting for a combined market size of US$1.2 Billion in the year 2020, will reach a projected size of US$6.8 Billion by the close of the analysis period. China will remain among the fastest growing in this cluster of regional markets. Led by countries such as Australia, India, and South Korea, the market in Asia-Pacific is forecast to reach US$619.4 Million by the year 2026.
