European Edge Market Evolution in the Context of the Russia-Ukraine War

This Market Perspective summarizes the IDC European Edge Practice's analysis of the evolution of the European edge landscape in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war. It focuses on the potential implications of the situation for edge technologies (hardware, software, and services) and key industry sectors, as well as the impact on edge buyers' spending and edge vendors' value chain. The analysis takes into consideration uncertainty regarding the duration of the conflict and other potential developments. "This Russia-Ukraine war marks a turning point for the global economy. Countries and organizations will need to accelerate efforts to rearrange operations to maintain their growth and performance in the coming years. Like in the pandemic crisis, embracing innovation and focusing on operational efficiency and performance will be key to survival in extremely volatile circumstances. Edge will support tech leaders in these endeavors by keeping their valuable data safe, improving their product offerings, reducing costs, and, ultimately, maintaining steady revenues." — Research Analyst Alexandra Rotaru, IDC European Edge Practice Co-Lead
