Edge Computing Market Report 2025

The edge computing market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $31.35 billion in 2024 to $45.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing use of IoT and connected devices, the rising demand for low-latency processing, the surge in data generation and real-time analytics, the development of smart cities and infrastructure, and the growing need for decentralized computing.

The edge computing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $194.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44.1%. In the forecast period, growth is driven by factors such as the rising demand for low-latency data processing, the expansion of smart cities and infrastructure projects, the growing use of autonomous vehicles and connected cars, increased applications in healthcare and remote patient monitoring, and the broader role of edge computing in financial services and real-time fraud detection. Key trends for the forecast period include the integration of IoT and edge computing, a shift towards hybrid cloud and edge computing architectures, advancements in energy-efficient edge computing solutions, increased adoption of edge computing in healthcare for remote monitoring, and the integration of advanced networking technologies.

The growing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to drive the expansion of the edge computing market. IoT refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, appliances, sensors, and other objects that are embedded with software, sensors, and connectivity, allowing them to collect, exchange, and interact with data over the Internet. The increasing adoption of IoT is driven by the demand for greater automation and data-driven decision-making. As industries and consumers look to improve operational efficiency and reduce human intervention, IoT facilitates the automation of various tasks by connecting devices and systems. IoT is closely integrated with edge computing, enabling real-time data processing and decision-making closer to the data source rather than relying on distant data centers. For example, according to the GSM Association, a UK-based non-profit industry organization, the number of IoT connections is projected to exceed 23.3 billion by 2025, up from 15.1 billion in 2021. This increasing adoption of IoT is fueling the growth of the edge computing market.

Companies in the edge computing market are focusing on creating innovative products, such as next-generation edge gateway devices, to enhance real-time data processing, improve network efficiency, and enable seamless connectivity. A next-gen edge gateway device is a modern hardware solution that facilitates fast data processing and smooth communication between edge devices and cloud platforms, reducing latency and improving network performance. For instance, in August 2022, Belden, a Germany-based supplier of specialty networking solutions, launched the OpEdge-8D, an industrial-grade edge gateway device designed for DIN rail mounting. Its integration of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) allows organizations to connect operational systems with information systems effectively. This edge gateway device supports the deployment of applications such as containers and virtual machines (VMs) at the network edge, enabling real-time data processing and the generation of actionable insights that help optimize operational efficiency and streamline data management.

Edge computing is a decentralized computing model that processes data closer to its source rather than depending on centralized data centers. This approach reduces latency, enhances real-time processing, and minimizes bandwidth consumption by limiting the amount of data transmitted to central servers. The main goal of edge computing is to improve response times, ensure data security, and support applications that require low latency and high processing capabilities.

The key components of edge computing include hardware, software, and services. Hardware refers to the physical devices and equipment that facilitate data processing near the data source. Technologies associated with edge computing include mobile edge computing and fog computing, which are provided by both small and medium-sized enterprises as well as large enterprises. Applications of edge computing span areas such as connected cars, smart grids, critical infrastructure monitoring, traffic management, environmental monitoring, augmented reality, asset tracking, and security and surveillance, serving industries such as finance, retail, healthcare, industrial, energy and utilities, telecommunications, and other sectors.
