Fog Computing Market Overview


Fog computing is the networking layer between the hardware devices and the cloud computing platform that manages the services on the network. This networking is generally called fogging. Fog computing ensures easy flow of data, analyzing that data, processing the information, storing the data, and managing this scalable data. Smart devices are the medium to effective cloud computing. Fog computing can be segmented in many verticals likes smart homes, smart and efficient manufacturing, smart energy, healthcare, smart appliances, and many more. With the introduction of big data, a humungous amount of data is being generated these days due to a high number of smart devices connected over a common network using cloud services. This is where fog computing makes technology easier by integrating processes, problem-solving, and solution binding at a common level.


With artificial intelligence, big data, deep learning, machine learning, and other cloud computing technologies making rounds around the world in the field of boosting the economy fog computing is on the global rise. The global fog computing market is expected to generate a revenue of more than 343.48 million US dollars by the year 2030. The global fog computing market might forecast a CAGR of 55.6% by the year 2030


COVID-19 Analysis


The COVID-19 virus impacted human life in every possible aspect. The world suffered a loss in terms of economic, physical, and social growth. The governments of countries around the world had imposed lockdowns to contain the virus and infected people in local areas. Offices, schools, industries, etc. all were shut down. We saw manpower loss to a great extent. With no manpower, most of the businesses saw a declining graph bringing the world on a threshold of recession and GDP fall. Work from home strategies was imposed to keep the industrial work growing. Since cloud computing can be handled using high-speed internet and working computers, fog computing didn’t face any loss in terms of business. Rather more companies invested in the technology seeking to the growth of work from home culture.


Market Dynamics


Drivers


Internet of Things is globally considered as the major factor that led to the rise of the fog computing market. With the internet being the pivot on which today’s technology revolves, fog computing has seen a rise. With a greater number of smart devices that could be connected over the internet for a common platform fog computing has made its way into many verticals likes smart homes, smart and efficient manufacturing, smart energy, healthcare, smart appliances, and many more. High network bandwidth from different network suppliers, lower network latency, higher stimuli and response time, higher bandwidth of the network, easy flow of data, robust information, and adaptive problem-solving mechanism are the key drivers that led to the rise of fog computing.


Challenges


With the internet comes the issues like hacking, data loss, copyright issues, and many more. These same causes make the global fog computing market see authentication, privacy, data loss, security issue, and many more as the greatest challenges. This makes many companies doubt the adoption of fog computing.


Technology Analysis


Data processing, analyzing, transfer, and deploying to devices using the Internet of Things over network easier. It is the middle layer to the hardware of the company and the applications that provide services to the users. The fog computing can be considered as the integration layer that joins service providers to the consumers. With the internet at ease uploading and downloading, data has grown to an immense amount making seeding important. To maintain this data flow high network latency and continuous internet availability are required. Thus, fog networking acts as the store or buffer area through which data can be transferred across. Machine-to-machine communication using cloud platform has made easier for this data transfer which, hence, performs data analysis and give appropriate solutions, and defines decisions making algorithms as per the company’s requirements.
