Market Overview
The Edge Infrastructure Market is experiencing explosive growth, driven by surging demand for ultra-low latency applications—powered by 5G, IoT, AI, and real-time analytics. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), its value is projected to skyrocket from USD 15.91 billion in 2023 to USD 39.7 billion by 2032, at an astounding 10.69 % CAGR between 2024–2032 . This growth underscores a paradigm shift away from centralized cloud architectures toward distributed, on-site computing at the network edge.
Edge infrastructure encompasses elements such as edge servers and micro data centers, routers, gateways, switches, and management software strategically deployed close to data sources. Their proximity significantly minimizes latency, boosts bandwidth efficiency, and enhances real-time processing for applications across industries.
