Summary
This report provides a global overview of the edge computing market. It explains why the concept is gaining so much traction and the high expectations alive there from deploying it.
Alongside a review of the broad ecosystem of edge computing, the report examines the various approaches being taken by key stakeholders (cloud providers, industrials and telcos).
The report comes with a companion Excel document covering the benchmark of close to 120 initiatives across more than 10 use cases including:
• Use case owner
• Providers involved per category (telecom operators, HW Edge computing infrastructure providers, SW Edge computing infrastructure providers, Others)
• Initiative stage (proof of content, live deployment, etc.)
• Area of applications and Verticals (sector, type of solution)
• Description and Results
Market sizing and forecasts up to 2024 is done for edge computing (in addition to addressable market sizing of 8 target use cases for edge computing):
• By type of solution (hardware vs software)
• By region
• By type of stakeholder (industrial vs cloud provider vs CSP)
