Will Mobile Operators Get 10% of MEC Revenue?

Security services, IoT and edge computing combined will amount to about $50 billion in annual service provider revenues by 2024, according to the IN Forum.  If cumulative growth rate for those services is 17.9 percent, then 2026 revenue might be about $70 billion globally.

To be sure, much-larger “total market” forecasts are possible if one adds to service revenue the contributions of hardware, software and other infrastructure, application licenses, system integration revenues and private enterprise investments and operations spending on edge computing, IoT, security. 


Looking only at edge computing, and all revenue segments, as much as $250 billion in annual revenue might be possible in 2025. It is possible service provider revenues from edge computing in that year might amount only to $20 billion.
