Artificial intelligence (AI) edge computing refers to deploying AI algorithms and models on edge devices, such as sensors, cameras, or edge servers, located closer to the data source or end-user device. This approach brings AI capabilities directly to the network's edge, enabling real-time data processing, analysis, and decision-making without relying solely on centralized cloud servers.
The main components of artificial intelligence (AI) edge computing are hardware, software, and services. Artificial intelligence (AI) edge computing hardware refers to physical devices or components that are specifically designed to support AI inference and processing tasks at the edge of the network. They are used for industrial internet of things (IIoT), remote monitoring, content delivery, video analytics, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and other applications in various organizations such as large enterprises, and small and medium sized enterprises of automotive, healthcare, chemicals, oil and gas, manufacturing and robotics, public infrastructure, transportation and logistics, and other industry verticals.

The artificial intelligence (AI) edge computing market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $20.29 billion in 2024 to $24.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to proliferation of IoT devices, advancements in edge computing technology, increasing demand for real-time data processing, growth of AI and machine learning applications, rising concerns over data privacy and security.
The artificial intelligence (AI) edge computing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of 5G networks, adoption of edge AI in autonomous vehicles, emergence of Industry 4.0 initiatives, integration of AI into edge devices, accelerated deployment of edge computing infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include edge AI market consolidation, rise of edge AI as a service (AIAAS), shift towards decentralized AI architectures, rise of hybrid edge-cloud computing models, increasing focus on edge AI sustainability and energy efficiency.
The growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) automation in industrial machinery is expected to drive the growth of the AI edge computing market. AI automation involves using AI technologies to perform tasks and processes that typically require human input. AI edge computing supports this automation by enabling real-time data processing and decision-making at the network's edge, where the machinery operates. For example, in May 2022, a report by International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a US-based technology company, highlighted that global AI adoption increased significantly, reaching 35%, up four points from the previous year. In 2022, 13% more companies were expected to adopt AI compared to 2021. Additionally, 35% of organizations reported adopting AI, while 42% were considering it, with two-thirds of companies (66%) either already using or planning to use AI to achieve their sustainability goals. As a result, the growing implementation of AI automation in industrial machinery is fueling the growth of the AI edge computing market.
