What are the Recent Trends in the Market?

“IoT and Edge Computing For Architects to Emerge As One Of the Leading Trends.”

Consumer demand for high-performance smartphone applications such as high-definition multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games is important edge computing use cases. Edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) in developing countries such as India, Indonesia, and China present lucrative opportunities for edge computing architecture.

In addition to this, IoT and edge computing for architects is emerging as one of the key trends. Edge computing is a technology evolution that is not restricted to any particular industry. As edge evolves, more industries find it relevant, which only brings fresh requirements or gives existing ones different contexts, attracting new parties to solve these challenges. Now more than ever, IoT and edge computing for architects holds a very promising future.

IoT-enabled devices warrant the use of advanced network infrastructure, and high processing speed, both of which are core benefits of edge computing. Therefore, IoT devices along with high-performance smartphone applications will strengthen the growth of the edge computing market between 2022 and 2032.

Furthermore, large enterprises in the industries like telecom and manufacturing are increasingly using use edge computing. With more than 50 billion connected devices, Huawei predicts that, by 2020, over 50% of data may be analyzed, processed, and stored in the network edge.

Which Region is projected to dominate the Usage of edge computing?

North America is the largest regional market accounting for 46% share of the total market value. Developed countries such as the US are homes to start-ups and prominent market players.

When coupled with the high-disposable income of consumers, the North American region will continue its share-wide dominance with over 27% CAGR during the projection period. Regions in the Asia Pacific, namely, East Asia and South Asia & Oceania present the most remunerative opportunities from six major regions.

East Asia will grow at 30% CAGR and South Asia & Oceania will grow at 32% CAGR from 2022 to 2032. Booming digital economies in these regions such as Indonesia, India, Singapore, China, Japan, and South Korea are central to the skyrocketing growth.

The increasing disposable income of consumers and penetration of edge computing-based products such as electric vehicles, fitness trackers, and smart home appliances drive the demand in this region.
