Top Edge Computing Companies

The growth of the global edge computing market is propelled by several factors, including the rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, rising demand for low-latency data processing, and increasing demand for real-time analytics in enterprises across industries. Organizations are generating massive amounts of data from connected sensors and devices, and edge computing facilitates faster data processing and decision-making by transferring the compute process closer to the data source ultimately leading to reduced bandwidth usage and improved response times.

Industry Overview

According to SkyQuest Technology “Edge Computing Market By Product Type (Hardware, Software, Services, Edge-Managed Platform), By Organization Size, By Application, By End User, By Region - Industry Forecast 2025-2032,” Global Edge Computing Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 32.2% by 2032, on account of urgent need for automating quantified data. The accelerating growth in the uptake of technologies like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, industrial automation and 5G networks drives growth in the market as such applications need ultra-low latency and high-speed computing. Concern around data privacy and protection encourages organizations to process and analyze data locally with edge nodes, and on-site rather than push analytics into centralized cloud computing infrastructure.
