Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Edge Computing Market

 

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has drastically affected two huge markets in APAC—India and China. However, the rising demand for edge computing in the post-pandemic period is primarily attributed to the growing demand for low-latency processing and real-time automated decision-making solutions, increasing implementation of IoT, , and growing burden on cloud infrastructure. In April 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission of China defined the scope of "new infrastructures, " including new infrastructures in cloud computing and intelligent computing centers. Furthermore, in February 2021, the Ministry of Transport of China issued the "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" that promotes the digitization and connection of transportation infrastructures, deploying traffic perception systems in an all-around way and facilitating the application of autonomous driving and vehicle-infrastructure cooperation. In January 2022, RailTel planned to establish 102 edge data centers in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns in India. Also, in February 2022, The NxtGen Datacenter and Cloud Technologies promised to set up 236 edge data centers in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Visakhapatnam by the first quarter of 2022-2023, with an investment of ~US$ 100 million. Such upcoming prospects are anticipated to drive the demand for edge computing products during the post-pandemic period in the coming years.
