Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a network architecture that enabled IT service environment and cloud computing capabilities at the edge of cellular network. MEC technology is designed in such a way that is can be implemented in cellular base station. By such implementation MEC enables enhanced user experience with high network bandwidth. The increasing adoption of 4G and 5G technology is boosting the growth with a CAGR of around 50.2% in global Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) market. The unprecedented rise in smartphone has resulted into proliferation of data traffic. The MEC enables network performance, video acceleration which has increased smartphone user experience. Growing requirement of 4G & 5G technology due to rise in video streaming globally. MEC is generally considered for 5G network that handles the challenges faced by service providers and operators. Thus, the emergence of 5G technology is boosting the growth in global mobile edge computing market.
The rise in data traffic is boosting the growth in global MEC market. The proliferation of smart devices such as smartphone, tablets and others has increased the growth of mobile data traffic. The rising use of social media platform has increased the demand for HD content that results in rise in data traffic across the globe. According to research done by various telecommunication companies such as Ericson, Cisco, etc. It is estimated that by the end of 2022 the total mobile data traffic is expected to reach to 69 exabytes which was 8.5 exabytes in 2015. Hence, the growing mobile data traffic is contributing to the growth of the global MEC market. In addition to driving factor, there are factors such as privacy & security concern and regulatory and legal framework restricting the growth of the global Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) market.
