Market Growth Factors

Rising acceptance of IoT medical devices

Healthcare businesses have begun to rely on centralized cloud computing & storage solutions because of the proliferation of IoT devices and the large rise in data that has resulted. There are latency and financial viability challenges when moving every aspect of IT to the cloud. Organizations utilizing IoT sensors, actuators, and other IoT devices are thus progressively seeking edge computing solutions, including edge nodes, devices, and hyper-localized data centers. Edge computing enhances the cloud paradigm by enabling data processing near the data source, enabling businesses to accelerate decision-making. The market is predicted to expand because of the increasing deployment of IoT medical devices.

Rising demand for automated decision-making solutions, real-time & low latency processing

Companies must reduce the time it takes to get connected to a service and the quantity of data they transfer to the cloud in the present business environment. The length of time a data packet needs to travel between two sites is referred to as a network's latency. Less latency leads to an increase in the data transfer rate. Remote patient monitoring is one example of a time-sensitive application that demands computation in real time. As a result, the market will grow in the approaching years.

Market Restraining Factors

Cost of CAPEX and OPEX associated with edge computing systems is expensive

The initial capital expense (CAPEX) needed for infrastructure is one of the main barriers to the adoption of edge computing solutions in healthcare settings. Healthcare firms with tight budgets are less likely to embrace edge computing systems because they need large investments in networking, hardware, and software. For instance, deploying edge computing systems for medical imaging necessitates significant investments in high-performance computing infrastructure, such as storage systems, servers, and networking tools. Medical imaging edge computing solutions with high performance are available from numerous vendors, although the initial CAPEX for these systems might be costly.

Component Outlook

Based on component, the market is fragmented into hardware, software, and services. In 2022, the hardware segment dominated the market with maximum revenue share. When discussing edge computing in healthcare, the term "hardware" refers to the actual hardware utilized to make it possible. This comprises both networking or edge devices, like switches, routers, and gateways, as well as RFID sensors, tags, and gateways. Cloud infrastructure, including virtual machines, storage, and databases, can also be used with the market.

Application Outlook

On the basis of application, the market is classified into diagnostics, telehealth & remote patient monitoring, robotic surgery, ambulances, and other applications. In 2022, the ambulances segment covered a considerable revenue share in the market. In the emergency care system, paramedics can only give emergency doctors a quick description of the patient. Therefore, these individuals can only obtain pertinent diagnostic procedures once the ambulance pulls up to the hospital. Due to its mobility, low latency, and data-processing capabilities, edge computing at the network edge can help local paramedics provide more effective and precise care and send more precise information on the state and location of patients arriving at the hospital.

End User Outlook

By end user, the market is categorized into hospitals & clinics, long-term care centers & home care settings, ambulatory care centers, and others. The hospitals & clinics segment witnessed the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. This is due to their massive data production, which results from their large customer base and diverse geographic presence. Through faster, more effective decision-making and a reduction in the demand for IT infrastructure, edge computing is revolutionizing how hospitals & clinics manage their data. The effectiveness of healthcare systems as a whole is rising owing to this technology, which also helps enhance patient outcomes & patient satisfaction.

Regional Outlook

Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America region led the market by generating the highest revenue share in 2022. The region is witnessing growth due to factors like growing government or healthcare providers' investments in enhancing healthcare IT facilities, increasing cloud-based service adoption, and an increasing need for effective data management solutions. A further factor in the region's growth is the existence of significant edge computing providers.
