The edge data center market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $13.56 billion in 2024 to $16.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7%. 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 $45.3 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.5%. 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.
The growth of the edge data center market is expected to be significantly influenced by rising internet penetration and rapid digitization in the coming years. Internet penetration refers to the relationship between the number of internet users in each country and its demographic data, while digitization is the process of converting information into a format that computers can read. Edge data centers play a crucial role in connecting various digital and electronic devices through the internet. An edge data server acts as a bridge between geographically separated networks connected via the internet. For example, a report from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based government agency, stated that in 2022, approximately 5.2 billion people were active internet users, accounting for 66% of the global population, with Asia having the largest number of online users. Thus, the increase in internet penetration and digitization is driving the growth of the edge data center market.
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.
