The North America Multi-access Edge Computing Market would witness market growth of 45.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2032).

The US market dominated the North America Multi-access Edge Computing Market by Country in 2024, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $28,189 million by 2032. The Canada market is experiencing a CAGR of 48.8% during (2025 - 2032). Additionally, The Mexico market would exhibit a CAGR of 47.9% during (2025 - 2032). The US and Canada led the North America Multi-access Edge Computing Market by Country with a market share of 77% and 12% in 2024.

Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) has become an important part of 5G networks in North America. It brings cloud-like computing and storage capabilities closer to end users by being deployed near RAN sites and enterprise premises. ETSI's reference architecture and the U.S. government's desire to reduce core congestion and improve network resilience helped shape MEC. It has gone from early testbeds to widespread commercial use. Telecom companies, along with hyperscalers and OEMs like HPE, Cisco, Nokia, Intel, and Dell, now offer public and private MEC solutions that can handle real-time analytics, AI inference, AR/VR, industrial IoT, and autonomous systems. These solutions are all based on the need for low-latency and context-aware processing.

Three major trends are shaping the market's evolution: deep integration with 5G standalone networks and network slicing to ensure performance; a growing demand from businesses for private 5G and MEC for mission-critical workloads on-site; and a growing focus on security, data sovereignty, and compliant edge orchestration. Telecom carriers offering MEC-as-a-service, OEMs providing edge-optimized platforms, and cloud or edge-native companies facilitating interoperability via open standards are all part of the competitive landscape. These strategies show that the ecosystem is quickly maturing, and performance, security, flexibility, and working with multiple vendors will all play a role in the future of edge computing in the region.

Enterprise Size Outlook

Based on Enterprise Size, the market is segmented into Large Enterprises and Small & Medium Enterprises. The Large Enterprises market segment dominated the US Multi-access Edge Computing Market by Enterprise Size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 44.4 % during the forecast period thereby continuing its dominance until 2032. Also, The Small & Medium Enterprises market is anticipated to grow as a CAGR of 45.9 % during the forecast period during (2025 - 2032).

Network Type Outlook

Based on Network Type, the market is segmented into Wireless MEC and Wired MEC. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 47.4% over the projection period, the Wireless MEC Market, dominate the Mexico Multi-access Edge Computing Market by Network Type in 2024 and would be a prominent market until 2032. The Wired MEC market is expected to witness a CAGR of 49.3% during (2025 - 2032).

Country Outlook

The U.S. Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) market is growing quickly thanks to strong 5G infrastructure, a lot of people using the cloud, and a technology ecosystem that encourages new ideas. MEC makes real-time, low-latency applications possible by putting computing resources close to end users. This has led to widespread use in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Enterprise demand, telecom operators' push to make money off of 5G, and government support for advanced computing and AI all help growth. Some important trends are hybrid edge architectures, deeper integration with 5G standalone networks, and the growth of edge AI capabilities. The competition is still fierce, with telecom companies, hyperscalers, infrastructure OEMs, and edge-native companies all putting a lot of money into shaping the future of MEC in the US.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
