Exploiting the Edge: Research reveals $17 billion in market opportunity for service providers

Exploiting the Edge Research reveals $17 billion in market opportunity for service providers

Only 6% of enterprise decision-makers would turn to service providers for their Edge implementations.

Organisations are looking at Edge as a pathway to reducing data management costs by up to 20%.

New research from WWT, conducted with Analysys Mason, shows that telecoms service providers are struggling to gain mindshare among enterprises for Edge deployments. Despite their acumen in connectivity, just 6% of enterprise decision-makers would turn to service providers for their Edge implementations.

The report, ‘The Edge Disconnect’, identifies the scale of the Edge opportunity for service providers. It brings into sharp relief the disconnect telecoms service providers must overcome if they are to change enterprise perceptions and realise that opportunity. 

The findings in the report are clear: enterprises want Edge. Our research surveyed six industries across four countries to better understand enterprise decision makers’ attitudes, needs and challenges as they relate to Edge. Based on their strategies, we calculated that there is more than $17 billion in market opportunity for service providers acting as Edge implementation partners over the next three years.

This research determined that 59% of that $17 billion sits at the level of user-facing application and service platforms. By value, the role of the ‘Edge application enabler’ far outstrips the more connectivity-centric roles service providers can play in deploying Edge. Offering services closer to the end-user presents by far the most lucrative opportunity.

The report identifies 30 use cases that will deliver the greatest revenue potential across six industries. But the key drivers are consistent, no matter the sector: the ability to process and deliver business-critical data in a way which protects its integrity and produces new cost efficiencies is what makes Edge truly compelling. Indeed, organisations are looking at Edge as a pathway to reducing data management costs by up to 20%.

Today, just 6% of enterprise decision-makers would turn to service providers for their Edge implementations. But service providers’ deep understanding of connectivity still confers an advantage. By filling gaps in their vertical expertise, they can become one-stop-shops for the connectivity, infrastructure and applications that will make enterprise Edge deployments truly transformative.

Daniel Valle, Chief Technologist – Service Providers EMEA at WWT said: “Edge Computing is transforming the way enterprises manage data. As 5G becomes a reality, Edge will provide the backbone for game-changing applications across data-intensive areas such as sensor-based activity recognition, AI, smart mobility, robotics and real-time digital experiences.

“Service providers’ deep understanding of connectivity confers an advantage. By filling gaps in their vertical expertise, they can become one-stop-shops for the connectivity, infrastructure and applications that will make enterprise Edge deployments truly transformative.

“Service providers should look to grasp the edge opportunity, and make sure businesses are ready to become a go-to Edge implementation partner.”

We’re a diverse group of industry professionals from all corners of the world. Our desire is to provide a high-quality telecoms publication that caters to an international market, offering the latest and most relevant telecoms information to businesses, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts.

Digital Therapeutics Revenue from Health Insurers to Reach $8 Billion Globally by 2026

Published

 on

Hampshire, UK – 14th March 2022: A new study from Juniper Research has found that digital therapeutics revenue from health insurers will increase to $8 billion by 2026, up from $1.1 billion in 2022; representing a growth of 610 percent over the next four years. Digital therapeutics are clinically validated software programs for the treatment of chronic medical conditions, either independently or in conjunction with other therapies.

The report found that digital therapeutics facilitate the proactive mitigation of chronic medical conditions before they require costly interventions; enabling health insurers to reduce long-term costs per patient. However, it highlighted that these savings will be limited to health insurers in developed regions, where consumer devices and digitalized health infrastructure are ubiquitous. As such, it noted that health insurers in Africa and Latin America will contribute less than 2 percent towards health insurer-led digital therapeutics revenue in 2026.

A new research, Digital Therapeutics & Wellness: Key Trends, Business Models & Market Forecasts 2022-2026, identified that insurers will also benefit from an ongoing shift among digital therapeutics vendors towards engagement- and results-based payments. It recommends that therapeutics providers looking to leverage this trend prioritize the development of performance benchmarks, as demonstrating improvement and preventing patient abandonment will become a direct monetary issue.

Machine Learning to Move into Advisory Role as Liability Issues Emerge

The report forecasts that the number of people using digital therapeutics will increase by 381% over the next four years, and recognizes that machine learning will be key to this growth by facilitating advanced data analytics, remote patient monitoring, and real-time conversational coaching. However, it cautioned that an ongoing lack of standards surrounding the use of machine learning within digital therapeutics will result in vendors limiting its role in their offerings.

Research author Adam Wears explained: “As developers and healthcare providers increasingly grapple with issues of liability and malpractice, machine learning will transition from a patient-facing role to a diagnostic tool offered through provider-facing dashboards; to be used by clinicians and specialists in a manner akin to traditional computer-aided diagnostics.”
