Multi-access Edge Computing Market To Reach $55.41 Billion By 2030

Multi-access Edge Computing Market Growth & Trends

The global multi-access edge computing market size is anticipated to reach USD 55.41 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 49.1% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing adoption of Over the Top (OTT) media streaming services and rising demand for personalized content are the factors estimated to drive market growth. The rising number of users opting for the OTT video delivery model is projected to encourage mobile networks and telecom companies to improve their existing infrastructure. The MEC architecture brings backend functions closer to the user network, which is anticipated to help Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) meet consumer expectations.

Technology is observing increased adoption across industries such as automotive, IT, telecom, and data center. The retail sector is also projected to experience substantial disruption due to the integration of MEC technology in the near future. The use of MEC technology is projected to minimize data processing time and increase the effectiveness of in-store systems, allowing for better resolution of consumer complaints. Additionally, the implementation of this technology is intended to reduce the burden of external mega sites, providing users with a more seamless in-store experience. MEC integration in network systems reduces the total cost of ownership and creates quick returns on investment as compared to legacy systems, which could encourage smaller retail chains to adopt MEC technology.

The rise in the adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and their incorporation in edge hardware and software solutions are compelling the market leaders to launch new products, catering to everchanging demands from different industry verticals. For instance, in May 2023, Dell Technologies announced the launch of “Dell NativeEdge,” an operations software to help businesses address the complexities of edge deployment and management. The solution offers simplified, secured, and automated edge application deployment.

Multi-access edge computing is projected to improve manufacturing practices, leading to the emergence of a connected automated ecosystem. The emergence of connected ecosystems in vehicles is driving the demand for solutions that can help wireless devices, computing systems, and sensors in connected cars to function together in a coordinated manner, which could favor the adoption of MEC. The technology can be used to provide key safety and operational data and improve safety, efficiency, and value-added services like car finders and smart parking. Additionally, applications such as collision warnings, road hazard mapping systems, congestion detection, and emergency vehicle alerts are attracting people to try out these services, supporting market growth.

The growth of the MEC market is expected to be fueled by the ubiquity of IoT devices and the growing need for real-time analysis of data produced by them. Moreover, as MEC is implemented through virtual machines from the network edge to cloud computing centers, it leads to better resource utilization and helps reduce routing and computing constraints. Using this technology in IoT can help relieve the burden on cloud networks and reduce the consumption of energy, both of which are predicted to provide considerable market opportunities.
