Edge Computing Market Outlook:
Edge Computing Market size was over USD 30.43 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 547.16 billion by 2035, witnessing around 33.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of edge computing is assessed at USD 39.6 billion.
The increasing rollout of 5G networks globally is a key factor expected to fuel the global market. This can be due to the rising need for high-speed connectivity, ultra-low latency, and real-time data processing across several sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, automotive and transportation, retail, and energy. Thus, the investments in 5G and edge computing are accelerating, and governments and companies are recognizing their transformative potential. Industry giants are focused on expanding edge computing capabilities. For instance, in February 2024, Digi International Inc. announced the launch of DigiIX40, a 5G edge computing industrial IoT cellular router solution that allows companies to seamlessly connect multiple machines and devices. This is purpose-built for Industry 4.0 use cases like predictive maintenance, asset monitoring, advanced robotics, smart manufacturing, and industry automation.
Another key factor expected to support the growth of the market is the integration of AI in edge computing. Companies are investing in AI-powered edge technologies as AI helps to enhance decision-making ability and improve operational efficiency. In January 2025, ZEDEDA, a company specializing in edge management and orchestration, invested around USD 72 million in 2024 and established its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, UAE, as a part of its global expansion. The expansion is supported by new investments from Prosperity7 and Alpha Wave Incubation to cater to the rising need for advanced edge computing and AI solutions in the Middle East.
