글로벌 엣지 데이터센터 시장은 2035년까지 연평균 20.55% 성장하여 155억 4천만 달러에서 1,007억 달러에 이를 것으로 전망된다.
On August 28, 2026, Research and Markets announced the availability of its latest report, Edge Data Center Market Till 2035: Distribution by Type of Component, Type of Facility, Type of Vertical, and Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts. The study projects that the global edge data center market will expand from USD 15.54 billion in the base year to USD 100.7 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 20.55%. This expansion is fueled by rising demand for real-time data processing, low-latency computing, and localized digital infrastructure required by artificial intelligence, Internet of Things devices, autonomous systems, and 5G-enabled applications. By distributing computing, storage, and networking capacity closer to data sources, edge facilities reduce network congestion and improve operational decision-making.
Market growth is further supported by data sovereignty requirements, privacy regulations, and localization mandates, alongside Industry 4.0 initiatives, smart manufacturing, connected transportation, digital healthcare, and omnichannel retail. The competitive landscape remains moderately fragmented, with Equinix and Digital Realty leveraging extensive global footprints and carrier-neutral ecosystems. Hyperscale cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft, and Google are expanding localized capabilities through hybrid cloud platforms and edge zones. Infrastructure vendors including Dell, HPE, Cisco, Huawei, Schneider Electric, and Vertiv are competing through AI-ready equipment, modular data center solutions, advanced cooling systems, and strategic partnerships. Recent developments include Duos Edge AI launching its first edge data center at the Region 16 Education Service Center in Texas to support educational institutions.
Energy resilience has emerged as a critical factor in site selection and facility expansion, as increasing AI workloads strain grid capacity and raise energy costs. Operators are responding by integrating renewable energy, microgrids, fuel cells, battery storage, and advanced power management platforms to meet carbon reduction goals and ensure reliable operations. North America currently dominates the market due to mature cloud infrastructure and strong 5G deployment, while Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth through 2035, propelled by digital transformation programs and government investments in China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. Secondary and emerging markets are also expanding through smart-city development and broadband upgrades, with healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, retail, and education identified as particularly attractive verticals.
