Next, the integration and deployment services are also vital in the edge computing ecosystem. These services aid organizations in seamlessly integrating edge computing solutions into their existing IT infrastructure. They involve activities such as hardware and software installation, configuration, testing, and system integration. By leveraging these services, businesses can effectively bridge the gap between their current infrastructure and the edge environment. Furthermore, managed services play a significant role in ensuring the ongoing smooth operation of edge computing deployments. These services encompass monitoring, maintenance, and support for the edge infrastructure, as well as managing software updates, security patches, and performance optimization. Managed services relieve organizations of the complexities associated with managing distributed edge environments and enable them to focus on their core competencies. And then the training and education services contribute to the growth of the edge computing market. These services provide organizations with the knowledge and skills required to operate and manage edge computing solutions effectively. Training programs may cover topics such as edge architecture, edge analytics, security practices, and data governance, empowering businesses to derive maximum value from their edge deployments.

Summarily, the services segment in the edge computing market is vital for supporting organizations throughout their edge computing journey, encompassing consulting, integration, deployment, managed services, and training. These services enable businesses to overcome implementation challenges, optimize performance, and achieve the desired business outcomes from their edge computing initiatives.

By application, AR & VR segment to exhibit decent growth during the forecast period

AR is more common and has more practical applications. The technology behind AR requires devices to process visual data and represent visual elements in real time. Without the edge technology, these visual elements need to send back to the centralized data centers, where these elements can be added before sending it back to that device. This arrangement will offer significant latency. Edge technology will enable IoT devices to integrate AR displays instantly, enabling users to look and take in new AR details without much loading time. AR devices have applications beyond entertaining applications, such as retail, where it is being utilized to display product information. Thus, edge architecture will play a vital role in providing these applications with minimal latency. AR is an extremely complex technology. The device must understand data from multiple sensors to react in a real-time environment. Edge infrastructure enables these devices to react in real-time immediately, without delay in data transfer speed. Thus, edge technology will introduce speed and accuracy to make these devices more accurate across applications.

By vertical, government and defense vertical to grow significantly during the forecast period

Growing expectations from citizens and dropping budgets during the global financial crisis are limiting the ability of policymakers, administrators, and key decision-makers to meet the citizens’ needs. To aptly serve the needs of citizens, government agencies must advance and expand the deployment of advanced technologies for the development of infrastructure for smart cities, such as traffic monitoring, parking management, and waste management. Government agencies are increasingly infusing edge computing in their IT infrastructure to gain greater data visibility in far-flung locations and achieve faster data analysis. This enables them to identify assets at greater risk and explore new mission scenarios for minimizing loss and optimizing efficiency. For instance, the US Air Force deployed Dell and Microsoft’s cloud and edge computing solutions and saved USD 1 million in weekly tanker refuelling costs. US Marine and other special forces also use such applications to achieve situational awareness.

Latin American region is showing promising growth in the edge computing market during the forecast period in 2023

Companies in the region are focusing on providing better services and establishing communications with

their customers. Owing to low-cost software requirements and various cloud computing benefits, such as easy adaptability, multitenancy, and a high degree of abstraction, various companies across Latin America have adopted cloud computing technology. However, with the peaking data volumes, Latin American companies are expected to adopt edge computing to eliminate network congestion issues and data loss risks. Cloud computing addresses inefficiencies by flattening peak loads and optimizing data centers, and edge computing add to the benefits by providing low latency connectivity and high bandwidth for data transmission. Owing to the proliferation of 5G, data-driven enterprises would demand quick and real-time access to data; hence, edge computing is expected to grow in this region.
