The Global Edge Computing Market was valued at USD 21.4 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 28% to reach USD 263.8 billion by 2035.

Businesses are increasingly shifting from centralized IT infrastructures to distributed processing models, making edge computing essential for real-time data processing at the device level. Industry analysts project that nearly 180 ZB of new data will be generated worldwide by 2025, driving the need for localized computing rather than relying solely on distant cloud or data center resources. Edge computing is enabling industries such as manufacturing and industrial automation to achieve enhanced operational visibility, predictive maintenance, and reduced downtime. Telecommunications providers are rapidly expanding Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) infrastructure to support rising demands for high-speed data and video traffic, while industrial organizations continue to invest in IoT-enabled facilities to optimize production and operational efficiency across distributed networks.
