Mid-Year Check: Let’s Talk Tech Trend Forecast vs. Reality

Remember Our 2025 Tech Predictions? Here’s How They’re Holding Up

At the beginning of this year, SNH Technologies outlined key trends and predictions for : AI regulation, edge computing growth, and hybrid infrastructure. Here's where we stand mid‑year—what’s on track, what’s shifting, and what it means for your business:

AI Regulation Momentum

Our prediction: Businesses should prepare for increasing regulatory pressure on AI.

What happened: ✅ The EU’s AI Act is advancing—general‑purpose rules begin August 2025, high‑risk model rules by 2026. In the U.S., a proposed federal AI moratorium failed, prompting a wave of state AI laws and renewed federal focus

Takeaway: Regulation is not only inevitable—it’s accelerating. Build compliant, transparent AI systems now.

Edge Computing Explosion

Our prediction: Edge computing adoption would surge among businesses needing low-latency and local processing.

What happened: ✅ The market is booming—growing from ~$31B in 2024 to ~$45B in 2025 (CAGR ~44%) . Security at the edge is becoming a top priority, as Gartner says 75% of enterprise data will process at the edge by year-end making it more important than ever to understand the infrastructure behind AI.

Takeaway: Edge is no longer niche. it’s central. Revisit your network design for edge security and performance.

Hybrid Cloud + Edge Integration

Our prediction: Businesses would blend cloud and edge infrastructure to balance flexibility and control.

What happened: ✅ Confirmed by renewed interest in hybrid edge-cloud ecosystems . Enterprises increasingly leverage cloud scalability with edge real-time processing.

Takeaway: A hybrid architecture is now a best practice. Align your strategy around agility and data locality.

Why It Matters to Your Business

Regulation affects liability and service availability. Edge + hybrid setups mean innovation without misconfigurations or latency. Agility equals continuity—especially during peak periods or crises.
