The Global Edge Analytics Market size is expected to reach $28.3 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 24.8% CAGR during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 has put a lot of pressure on governments across the world. The virus has had drastic effects on the health of the populace and has led to millions of deaths. The lockdowns issued by the government to curb the spread of the virus led to industries being closed down and supply chain troubles. Since edge analytics are widely deployed in the retail sector and this was among the most heavily affected sectors due to the lockdowns, the edge analytics market was severely affected.

Market Growth Factors

Adoption Of Connected Devices And Surge In Demand For Prescriptive Analysis

Through the effective integration of data received from connected devices and networking equipment for increased real-time event analysis, organizations all over the world have focused on enhancing productivity and decreasing the maintenance of analytics systems. The market for data edge analytics solutions is expected to expand at a healthy rate throughout the forecast period, due to an increase in demand for real-time monitoring and prescriptive analytical modeling. This contributes to the growth of the edge analytics industry.

Edge Analytics Leads To Lowest Possible Latency

Edge analytics’ main benefit is that it reduces latency and, as a result, improves overall system performance. Furthermore, it enables users to respond to certain data points more quickly, such as shutting down an overheating jet engine, without needing to check in with a central procedure. Since data is calculated at the edge, it allows application developers to make use of local compute cycles, without incurring network latency. This allows developers to access data in real-time, rather than waiting for it to be uploaded to the cloud, for applications like predictive maintenance, machine learning, and OT management.

Market Restraining Factors

Loss Of Raw Data

The increased efficiency comes provided by edge analytics comes at a price. Only a small portion of the data will be processed and evaluated, with the results being sent via the internet. This essentially implies that raw data is eliminated, which means that some insights that could have been gained are lost. It's important to think about the sort of device and how the data will be used. A retailer may determine that improving data efficiency is more important than sacrificing theoretical data insights, but an aircraft cannot make the same decision. Even if it is more inconvenient, collecting all raw data and analyzing it off-site is still the preferred strategy when safety is a concern.

Component Outlook

Based on components, the edge analytics market is divided into Solution and Service. The services segment garnered a significant revenue share in the edge analytics market in 2021. The edge analytics services enable users to manage their edge computing facilities remotely using Cloud Pak for Data. With Edge Analytics, business applications may be brought closer to data sources like IoT devices or local edge servers, resulting in faster insights, faster response times, and more bandwidth availability.

Type Outlook

Based on Type, the market is segmented into Descriptive, Predictive, and Prescriptive. The descriptive analytics segment acquired the largest revenue share in the edge analytics market in 2021. Descriptive analytics is concerned with what happened. It is the practice of identifying trends and relationships using current and historical data. Since it describes associations and trends but does not delve deeper, it is sometimes referred to as the simplest kind of data analysis.

Organization Size Outlook

Based on organization size, the edge analytics market is bifurcated into large enterprises and small and medium enterprises. The small and medium enterprises segment procured a substantial revenue share in the edge analytics market in 2021. Edge analytics' adaptability and versatility make it incredibly flexible and thus make it apt for small and medium enterprises. Business initiatives can now quickly settle on appropriate markets without needing to invest in costly infrastructure development by collaborating and associating with local edge data centers. Edge data centers enable them to provide competent service to end users with little latency.

Verticals Outlook

Based on verticals, the edge analytics market is classified into Retail, E-Commerce and Consumer Electronics, Energy and Utilities, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Transportation and Logistics, IT and Telecom, Manufacturing, and Others. The IT & telecom segment acquired the largest revenue share in the edge analytics market in 2021. In telecom, edge analytics provides execution resources (compute and storage) for applications with networking close to end-users, often within or at the edge of operator networks. The cloud architecture is well-suited to the needs of today's IT environment. Edge analytics has evolved as a modern, more viable, and crucial architecture, given the profusion of physical devices employed in today's IT world. Rather than storing all data in the cloud, edge analytics allows storage capacity to be deployed closer to the device's actual location.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the edge analytics market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. North America acquired the largest revenue share in the edge analytics market in 2021. The demand for prescriptive analytics is growing, and the adoption of edge analytics solutions is increasing.
