The mobile edge computing market is expected to reach $2.8 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 30.1% during the forecast period of 2020 to 2027. The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing need among enterprises to deliver QOE along with rising demand for low-latency processing and real-time automated decision-making solutions. In addition, the emergence of autonomous vehicles and connected car infrastructure and emerging MEC application areas of AR/VR offers significant opportunities for the growth of the mobile edge computing market. However, the lack of required infrastructure and deployment capabilities obstructs the growth of this market to some extent.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Mobile Edge Computing Market
In the first quarter of 2020, the world was hit by COVID-19. The outbreak was declared as the global pandemic by WHO as it has spread in many countries across the globe and raised the number of cases multi-folds in few weeks. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely hit many economies in the world. The combat measures like complete lockdown and quarantine to fight COVID-19 have had a substantial adverse impact on many industries across the globe, including the telecommunication industry.
COVID-19 will have a severe impact on the mobile edge computing market. Moreover, the possibility of a general economic recession in response to the pandemic could severely shrink IT budgets in the coming months, making the potential customer base for new 5G technology commensurately smaller. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, growth in 5G smartphone sales and network deployment will likely be slowed, which can obstruct the growth of the mobile edge computing market.
Furthermore, due to COVID, many countries are postponing the deployment of 5G, which can directly hamper the growth of the mobile edge computing market. For instance, United Internet’s CEO, Ralph Dommermuth, said that the construction of subsidiary 1&1 Drillisch’s 5G network would experience delays due to current measures adopted in the country to prevent a further spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.

Rapidly Increasing Mobile Data Traffic
With a consistently increasing number of interconnected devices, mobile data is exponentially growing, leading to the upsurge in demand for telecommunication and network services. Mobile network operators (MNOs) are persistently facing pressure to deliver quality services to subscribers, as the need for mobile data, including mobile video services, is rapidly increasing.

MEC helps to reduce congestion on mobile networks and decrease latency by shifting a load of cloud computing to individual local servers, and enhancing the quality of experience (QoE). Operators are taking leverage of several advanced technologies, such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Virtualized RAN (vRAN), and Software Defined Networking (SDN), which enable them to develop innovative context-aware and value-added services. Application and infrastructure providers and MNOs are focusing on developing innovative applications to leverage a radio access network (RAN) capabilities. MEC enables the deployment of various services within the RAN to enhance user experience and provide an ability that allows operators to better handle latency-sensitive services.
Moreover, the close proximity of MEC components at the edge significantly improves the QoE. In order to deliver Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) to subscribers, the MNOs are immensely adopting the advanced mobile edge computing technology, thereby contributing to the growth of the mobile edge computing market.
