As valuable and important as edge computing services and software remains a small market at the moment.
The global edge computing market for software will reach $1.72 billion by 2026, a study by Mind Commerce predicts. The market for multi-access edge software in support of IoT applications will reach $546 million globally by 2026.
Markets for edge hardware might be the most substantial markets of all, based on significant shift of infrastructure to the edge by computing-as-a-service suppliers. By 2023 or so, the large hyperscale cloud computing as a service providers might be deploying half their capex at the edge. That might mean annual spending of perhaps $34 billion by hyperscaler cloud computing giants alone.
Connectivity revenue might not be much more substantial. Some estimate global edge revenue earned by connectivity providers in the $2 billion to $4 billion range.
All of that suggests we are in the the early days of edge computing.
