According to a new report published by Grand View Research, the need to eliminate the privacy issues associated with transmitting large amounts of data and issues related to latency and bandwidth, which reduce the data transmission capacity of an organization, are expected to drive the market growth over the next few years.

Edge Computing Industry Overview

The global edge computing market size was valued at USD 4.68 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach USD 61.14 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 38.4% over the forecast period. Edge computing introduces a great level of business complexity, as it requires an extensive range of stakeholders for IT infrastructure, connectivity, application development, traffic delivery, and service management. Edge also brings together hardware and software solutions and networking architecture that address the vast number of use cases pursued across several industry verticals. As the technology is still in the early stages of development and its implementation and operational models are yet to mature, an edge is likely to create vast growth opportunities for new entrants in the near future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the growth of edge computing and data centers. However, with the increasing implementation, the spending on these technologies is expected to slightly decline over the next couple of months. Enterprises across different industry verticals are reducing their spending or are slashing their investments in upgrading software and servers to achieve rapid cost savings. However, there are exceptions in the healthcare and telecom sectors, where we can see increased investments in edge and IoT. The telecom sector is witnessing high growth in video conferencing software such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams and is rolling out new products to cope with the ever-increasing demand. For instance, in December 2020, SK Telecom collaborated with Amazon Web Services to launch edge cloud services based on 5G MEC. Companies are grasping the opportunities to tackle the current situation by delivering new services.

The intense escalation of demand for edge computing is expected to continue post-COVID-19 pandemic for the next three to four years as the stress on developing network infrastructure will not subside in the near future. Work from home becoming the new normal and the healthcare system reaching critical mass with online consultation is expected to give rise to such network infrastructure that requires low-latency connectivity and high security. Telecom companies are expected to capitalize on this opportunity as the per-unit cost of edge facilities will be overshadowed by the cost of adding additional switching facilities or building a full-sized data center. This cost advantage will accelerate telecom companies’ movement to a large deployment of data centers in the next couple of years.
