ABI Research, expects the global CDN market to more than double by 2030, reaching $23.9 billion. This growth is driven in part by expanding its presence in services beyond core content delivery and caching, which includes security (network, content, and enterprise) and edge computing.

A new study by Juniper Research has found that network operator spend on MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) will grow from $2.7 billion in 2020, to $8.3 billion in 2025, as operators invest heavily in upgrading network capacities and infrastructure to support the increasing data generated by 5G networks.

The 2020 Gartner, Inc. Hype Cycle for Endpoint Security features two technologies that will have transformational impact on global businesses within the next 10 years. Bring your own PC* (BYOPC) security will reach mainstream adoption in the next two to five years, while it will take five to 10 years for mainstream adoption of secure access service edge (SASE) to take place.

The continuous rise in the number of connected and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, connected and autonomous cars, content streaming, and multiplayer games will accelerate the edge computing market at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.3 percent from 2017 to 2022, Frost & Sullivan says.

The rapid rise of DevOps -- along with the mainstreaming of agile methodologies for creating applications -- is introducing new opportunities for Network Service Providers (NSPs) interested in deploying more services to subscribers, more rapidly and safely in the era of Edge Computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).

New data from Juniper Research has revealed that the total number of connected Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices is set to exceed 50 billion by 2022, up from an estimated 21 billion in 2018.
