STL Partners has recently launched their 2025 annual edge computing industry survey in collaboration with Edge Industry Review to gather insights on the current state and future trends of edge strategies worldwide. This survey aims to delve deeper into the evolution of edge computing in real-world deployments and understand the driving forces behind deployment decisions and the impact of AI on edge architectures.
The latest survey by STL Partners serves as a vital check on the progress and future directions of the edge computing market. Building upon last year’s findings, which focused on disaggregation, edge AI, and infrastructure edge investments, this year’s survey aims to uncover the factors influencing deployment decisions, the leading applications driving advancements, and the transformative impact of AI powered by GPUs at the edge.
As edge computing transitions from experimental pilots to essential infrastructure, this survey will provide valuable insights into the triggers for edge workload deployments, the emerging edge-native applications driving investments, and the evolving landscape shaped by the increasing demand for local compute driven by AI.
Participation in the survey, which takes approximately 5-10 minutes, offers respondents access to the final report at no cost. This report is a valuable resource often referenced by operators, hyperscalers, and enterprise decision-makers.
The survey is currently open for participation, and the findings from this year’s report will play a crucial role in shaping edge roadmaps for 2026 and beyond. Whether you are actively involved in the edge computing economy or simply following its developments, your input is highly valuable.
Exclusive coverage of the survey results will be provided by EdgeIR.com once the findings are released.
