Edge AI can be defined as a setup where the AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms are processed locally on a hardware device. These algorithms utilize the data collected by device itself such as sensor data or signals. The device which uses the AI need not be connected to internet can take decisions independently. The software which work in tandem with edge AI technology are called edge AI software. The gargantuan growth of enterprise workload on the cloud have led more and more companies to demand edge AI software. These will help companies to automate their tasks and increase efficiency.
The global edge AI software market revenue is projected to reach close to USD 3.8 Billion by 2028. This can be attributed to the increasing absorption of AI based solutions in enterprises. The increasing use cases if edge AI software are also expected to add to the growth of the global edge AI software market.
However, the growing security concerns about data confidentiality is likely to hamper the market growth. Furthermore, the emergence of intelligent applications is anticipated to be an opportunity for the edge AI software market.

The growing enterprise workload on cloud across industry domains is the key reason driving the demand for edge AI software solutions. Moreover, in recent years, the growth and development of machine learning and artificial intelligence has buoyed the market incredibly. With the new use cases increasing day by day, the market is projected to increase several folds during the forecast year. However, the concern regarding data theft and data confidentiality are expected to hinder the market growth. The regulations regarding the ethical data use are also likely to hamper the growth of the market.
Component Segment
In terms of components, the market is bifurcated into solutions and services. The solutions and services are further divided into two and three sub-segments respectively. Solutions are divided into software tools and platform. Services are classified into training and consulting, system integration and testing, and support and maintenance. The services segment is estimated to hold a significant market share over the forecast period. However, in the year 2019, the solutions segment gathered the major market share and it is likely to keep its position throughout the forecast years. The market growth of this segment is primarily ascribed to the increasing demand of edge AI based solutions from numerous organizations/enterprises to automate their business operations.
Data Sources Segment
Data sources is divided into video and image recognition, speech recognition, biometric data, sensor data, and mobile data. In 2019, the video and image recognition sub-segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market based on data sources. The sub-segment is also likely to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast years. This is owing to high number of use cases for the same. Also, the vendors in the market have developed solutions by leveraging the power of ML and AI specifically to capture meaningful information from video and image sources.
Application Segment
Based on the application, the market is segmented into autonomous vehicles, access management, video surveillance, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, telemetry (location services), energy management, and others (point-of-sales, precision agriculture, augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR), and smart wearables). The autonomous vehicles sub-segment is likely to grow the fastest among all the segments owing to the increasing role of edge AI in autonomous vehicles. With edge AI, autonomous vehicles can analyze the contextual information like driving pattern and traffic density much more efficiently. Such vehicles can thus make better decision about the course of the action.
Vertical Segment
In terms of the vertical, the market is segmented into government and public, manufacturing, automotive, energy and utilities, telecom, healthcare, and others (retail and ecommerce, media and entertainment, and banking, financial services, and insurance [BFSI]). Telecom sub-segment is likely to register the highest CAGR during the forecast years owing to the increasing adoption of edge AI based solutions to better handle signal dropping issues, data fluctuations and network optimization.
