STL Partners launches 2025 edge computing survey to illuminate market maturity
STL Partners has launched its 2025 annual edge computing industry survey. Edge Industry Review has partnered with the organization to expand participation for a more comprehensive study. This survey is crucial for understanding the evolution of edge strategies in real-world global deployments.
The 2025 survey is a pulse-check on where the edge computing market stands and future directions. Last year’s insights helped frame industry narratives around disaggregation, edge AI, and infrastructure edge investments. This year, STL Partners is going deeper to uncover what is driving deployment decisions, which applications are leading the charge and how the AI wave powered by GPUs at the edge is reshaping architectures.
As the edge matures from experimental pilots to mission critical infrastructure, this research will surface valuable data on: what’s triggering edge workload deployments; which edge-native apps are breaking through the hype and driving spend, and; to what extent AI and its demand for local compute is redefining the edge landscape.
The survey takes about 5-10 minutes and respondents will receive the final report at no cost, as a valuable resource often referenced by operators, hyperscalers, and enterprise decision makers.
The survey is now open for participation.
With AI workloads intensifying and infrastructure investments accelerating, the findings from this year’s report will help frame edge roadmaps for 2026 and beyond. If you’re shaping or following the edge computing economy, your input truly matters.
EdgeIR.com will provide exclusive coverage once the survey results are made available.
