Will edge computing cannibalize some public cloud growth in 2021? Some might be tempted to say “yes,” and Forrester appears to believe that will be the case. The amount of shift might be on the order of five percent of total cloud growth, Forrester estimates.
Hyperscale public cloud growth has been on a tear over the past few years, but will “naturally decline from a whopping 42 percent in 2018 to a projected 24 percent by 2022 as the market matures,” Forrester says. “Hidden in this natural motion is another force: edge vendors capturing more cloud business.”
Forrester also forecasts that computing as a service (public cloud including services such as Amazon Web Services and Alibaba and Aure) wil grow 35 percent to $120 billion in 2021.
