Gartner® 2025 Strategic Roadmap for Edge Computing
Edge computing is essential for companies undergoing digital transformation, boosting profits through automation initiatives and increasing revenue via new customer engagement methods. However, according to the 2025 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey, 27% of manufacturing enterprises have already deployed edge computing, and 64% plan to have it deployed by the end of 2027.
Initially, companies often focus on specific applications rather than comprehensive platforms, resulting in fragmented and isolated edge computing systems and expertise. The wide range of edge computing applications and industry-specific needs necessitates diverse technologies in edge computing setups, making vendor partnerships crucial.
