Edge Data Center Global Market Report 2024

Edge data centers are smaller data centers with more efficient architectures that extend the network's edge to give cloud computing capabilities and cached streaming content to local-end users by moving and processing data. Due to edge latching, edge data centers are generally employed in the IT infrastructure and communication sectors and are located closer to local end-users to provide speedier services with minimal latency. Edge data center is used to deliver cloud computing resources and cached content to users.

The main types of components in edge data centers are solutions and services. The solutions include cooling, power, IT racks and enclosures, networking equipment, and DCIM, and the various services include installation and integration, management, and consulting. Different product types include general construction, power management systems, cooling systems, security solutions, racks, and others, and involve various data center sizes such as Micro Data Centers, Hyperscale or Enterprise Data Centers, among others. It is used in banking, financial services, and insurance, telecommunication and IT, government, healthcare, manufacturing, media and entertainment, transportation and logistics, hospitality, and other applications.

This edge data center market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The edge data center market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $11.16 billion in 2023 to $13.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to low latency requirements, bandwidth-intensive applications, data sovereignty and privacy, edge analytics for real-time insights, edge security and compliance.

The edge data center market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to edge-native applications, smart cities and edge infrastructure, edge data centers in retail, energy efficiency in edge data centers, containerization at the edge. Major trends in the forecast period include content delivery networks (cdn) at the edge, edge security solutions, micro data centers for edge deployments, edge data center interconnectivity, edge data center management tools, edge data analytics.

Rising internet penetration and rapid digitization are expected to propel the growth of the edge data center market going forward. The relationship between the number of internet users in each country and its demographic data is called internet penetration, and the process of transforming information into a computer-readable format is known as digitization. Edge data centers are used to integrate various digital devices and electronic devices via the internet. An edge data server serves as a link between two networks that are geographically separated and connected via the internet. For instance, according to the article published by DataReportal, an India-based business intelligence company, in 2022, the number of people using the internet stood at 5 billion worldwide, accounting for 63% of the global population. Also, the world's connected population increased by about 200 million in April 2022. Therefore, the rise in internet penetration and digitalization are driving the edge data center market growth.

The increase in the amount of unstructured data is expected to propel the growth of the edge data center market going forward. Unstructured data refers to information that does not have a pre-defined data model or is not organized in a pre-defined manner, making it more challenging to analyze and requiring specialized tools and techniques for processing and extracting. Edge data centers use unstructured data for real-time data analytics, storage, and caching to reduce latency and ensure data availability for time-sensitive applications. For instance, in August 2022, according to Komprise, a US-based provider of unstructured data management surveys, 87% of IT leaders focused more on unstructured data growth, up from 70% in 2021. Therefore, the increase in the amount of unstructured data is driving the growth of the edge data center market.

Major companies operating in the edge data center market are focusing on reducing their environmental impact. It entails the optimization of energy-efficient technologies and practices to minimize environmental impact while enhancing performance and reliability at the network edge. For instance, in February 2023, nLighten, a digital infrastructure platform of I Squared Capital, a US-based infrastructure investor, announced the launch of edge data centres in Germany. The network will offer capacity in 10 locations in Germany. The company's infrastructure concept works with the utility sector to reduce emissions through grid stability and heat recovery and export to the community.

Major companies operating in the edge data center market are adopting a strategic partnership to expand offerings. Strategic partnerships refer to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in March 2023, AtlasEdge, a UK-based data center provider, partnered with PacketFabric, a US-based enterprise cloud core specialist, to broaden cloud access across AtlasEdge's network. Customers will benefit from seamless, localized, and ultra-low latency cloud connection. This collaboration will improve cloud connectivity in Europe and speed AtlasEdge's network transition.

In January 2023, Ubiquity Management, LLC, a US-based private Digital infrastructure investor firm, acquired EdgePresence for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Ubiquity Management, LLC aims to expand its portfolio of localized assets adjacent to end-users, and providing customers access to sustainable digital infrastructure. EdgePresence is a US-based edge date center company.
