Global Edge Server Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Edge Server Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

An edge server is a piece of hardware that performs data computation at the end (or edge) of a network. Like a regular server, an edge server can provide compute, networking, and storage functions. Edge servers process data physically close to the end-users and on-site apps, so these devices process requests faster than a centralized server. Instead of sending unprocessed data on a trip to and from a data center, these devices process raw data and return content to client machines. As a result, edge servers provide snappier performance, lower latency, shorter loading times. For example, an edge-compute server may sit between IoT devices on a factory floor and the cloud or an enterprise data center. In that case, data flows like this: IoT devices (cameras, sensors) on the factory floor send data to an edge-compute server (i.e. edge gateway).

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Edge Server market finds that the global Edge Server market reached a value of USD 3773.77 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 19748.62 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 31.76% during the forecast period.

Driven by the Internet of Things and AI, edge computing will show exponential growth in the future

Benefiting from the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, the increasing demand for data processing drives the continuous growth of the basic IT construction market, and the recovery of the global server market. According to statistics from International Data Corporation (IDC), in the first three quarters of 2021, the global server shipments totaled 9.39 million units, a year-on-year increase of 6.70%; Significant acceleration in the first half of 2021. Artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented social changes. This disruptive technology relies on powerful computing power. As a major form of computing at present and in the future, artificial intelligence computing is becoming the core driving force for a smart future. The development of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things requires powerful computing power as a support, and cloud computing cannot meet the massive and real-time processing needs. With the gradual maturity of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, the demand for computing power continues to extend from the data center to the edge to generate faster network service responses and meet the basic needs of the industry in real-time business, application intelligence, security and privacy protection, etc. Different from data center servers, Edge Server provides configuration flexibility as much as possible in a limited space. The Edge Server market has great potential for development, and the combination of edge computing and AI will become the core driving force for the growth of the Edge Server market in the future.

Edge Server provides the foundation for the development of various industries in the country, and favorable policies drive industry development

In 2021, China's central ministries and commissions jointly issued Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a National Integrated Big Data Center Collaborative Innovation System, National Integrated Big Data Center Collaborative Innovation System Computing Hub Implementation Plan, New Data Center Development Three Years Action Plan (2021-2023) and a series of documents to promote the infrastructure construction of data centers and provide a policy basis for the development of China's digital economy and the overall transformation of China's economy. Under the overall layout of the world's leading countries, the infrastructure of computing power has become a consensus, and investing in computing power has a long-term multiplier effect on economic growth. According to the 2021-2022 Global Computing Power Index Assessment, every time a country's computing power index increases by 1 point on average, the digital economy and GDP will increase by 3.5‰ and 1.8‰ respectively. When a country's computing power index reaches 40 points and 60 points, the driving force of computing power for GDP growth will increase by 1.5 times and 3.0 times. The United States and China are in the camp of computing power leaders. With the accelerated integration of the digital economy and the real economy, Edge Server has maintained a rapid and healthy growth trend.
