Edge Computing Market Introduction

Increase in need for processing and analyzing (IoT) data is driving business computing forward at a frenetic pace. In the recent years, enterprises have significantly spent on IoT equipment and services. Further, in near future, billions of new IoT devices are projected to be installed across end-user verticals which are anticipated to produce more data from more sources. Edge computing is a way that enables real-time analysis of data—generated from IoT devices—where it is produced instead of transferring it to cloud or data centers. As mobility continues to take an ever more central stage within an organization’s IT infrastructure need for adoption of edge-focused strategy is anticipated to increase at a considerable rate to embrace this shift and continue efficient business operations.

Market Dynamics

Need for real-time local data analysis has increased at a drastic rate owing to rising digitization across enterprises. Further, increased awareness among enterprises to make data-driven business decisions to streamline operations, enhance customer support, and rise above the competition has uplifted the growth of edge computing market. However, lack of skilled staff, lack process automation and digitization, and high initial investment are anticipated to hamper the growth of edge computing market especially in emerging countries such as India, China, and Brazil.
