Edge Computing Market Segment Insights
Industrial Internet of Things segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
Based on applications, the global edge computing market is divided into video analytics, Industrial Internet of Things, remote monitoring, augmented reality/virtual reality, content delivery, and others. The Industrial Internet of Things segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the major portion of edge computing in the manufacturing sector deployed in the form of device edge, which is being accepted widely across the globe.
However, the remote monitoring segment is likely to register considerable CAGR during the forecast period due to rapid expansion in work from home module and profiles.
Low-latency and secure data connection to drive the service segment
On the basis of components, the market is segregated into hardware, services, software, and edge-managed platforms. The hardware segment is further bifurcated into end point devices and types. The end point devices segment is sub-segregated into drones, robots, cameras, head mounted display, and others, while the types segment is further segmented into sensors/routers, edge nodes/gateways servers, and others.
The service segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period attributed to rise in secure data connectivity among end-users and low-latency. On the other hand, the edge- managed segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period owing to rise in significant data centers in numbers across several industries.
Energy & utilities segment is anticipated to hold significant market share
Based on industry verticals, the global edge computing market is segmented into transportation & logistics, energy & utilities, industrial, healthcare, agriculture, retail, datacenters, wearables, and smart cities, smart homes, & smart buildings.
The energy & utilities segment is anticipated to hold significant market share attributed to implementation of advanced supply of electricity via smart grids, which helps in monitoring fluctuation in usage and adapt accordingly. However, the healthcare segment is expected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period due to digitization in healthcare industry, which is rapidly implementing digital health strategies with varied degrees of maturity and success.
North America is anticipated to constitute a key market share
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period as edge computing convergence is driving manufacturers especially in the U.S. to shift towards linked factories.
Additionally, several startups have emerged to provide platforms for developing edge-enabled solutions, which is projected to fuel the regional market growth. However, the market of Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period attributed to the growing emphasis on improving networking technology across the region.
