Fog Computing Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component (Hardware, Software), By Application (Smart Farming, Building and Home Automation, Transportation and Logistics, Healthcare, Retail, Military, Others)and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Fog computing, also known as fog networking is a computing platform that extends additional compute, storage, and networking resources that are located between the data source and cloud. Fog computing supports low network latencies between the end-user devices for Augmented Reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT), where a large amount of data is produced, which is unreasonable to send to cloud services for analysis. The fog computing model is widely implemented among industries as it helps to integrate cloud resources close to the devices and reduces the time required to transmit the data. Fog computing aims at meeting low-latency requirements, reduce the power consumption of end devices, real-time data processing, and localizing data computing resources.

Increasing awareness of data security, bandwidth limitations and rising adoption of low-latency applications for existing IoT infrastructure, and high adoption of IoT devices generating a massive amount of data are some of the key factors driving the global fog computing market growth. The fog computing market is mainly propelled by the increasing adoption of IoT and explosive growth in mobile data traffic. Moreover, the expanding demand to improve system response time and the need for increased security by keeping data to the edge is fueling fog computing market growth during the forecast period.

However, the unavailability of large-scale general-purpose fog computing platforms is projected to impede the fog computing market growth.
