Edge Computing Market 2018 Global Key Players: IBM Corporation, Amazon, General Electric, Microsoft Incorporation, Intel Corporation


Market Highlights: Edge computing exists very close to the sources of data which it overlooks and manages information from. As it is capable of gathering information in close proximity of data sources, it also effectively deploys analytics. Edge computing is effectively positioned for the wave of IIoT that has been growing worldwide. Due to this factor, there is a high rate of adoption and application of the sector. Increase in the availability of devices like smartphones, smart watches and digital wearable technology have further propelled the growth of this market. Industries like healthcare, entertainment etc. have been some of the demand generating sectors for this industry.



The success of cloud services such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS and the proliferation of IoT have pushed the new computing paradigm towards edge computing. Edge computing refers to the computing infrastructure which exist closer to the data sources. Edge computing can address the concern of response time requirement, battery life issues, and cost saving bandwidth occurred with cloud computing. Moreover, it also reduces the energy consumption by 30-40%. Therefore, with proliferation of IoT devices, the data generation has increased which thereby need to store on public cloud making it anytime accessible. However, this huge data storage has reduced the response time of cloud which thereby requires technology like Edge computing which will take care of the local data storage and would increase the network response time.

With increasing data traffic on cloud, the industrial applications are in search of an alternative to cloud data storage to increase data security, and to reduce any kind of bottleneck in any kind of transaction. Edge computing provides physical location for computing closer to the data source. Edge computing can be deployed by two methods namely on-premise and on-cloud. On-premise deployment method is dominating the market with more than 40% of market share by deployment Whereas, on-cloud deployment method is expected to grow with fastest CAGR during forecast period 2017-2023 The global Edge Computing Market is expected to grow at USD 19.4 billion by the end of year 2023 with 17.9% CAGR during forecast period 2017-2023.
