New technologies create hype and once the hype starts to vane, it starts to slowly decline. That is why businesses should not get caught up in the hype and make technology decisions based on the business value particular technology can deliver. Businesses must create a feasibility report to determine whether the technology is right for their business or not.

This will help them choose technologies that are not only beneficial for their business but also are here to stay and not just a fad that will vanish after a few years. Wondering which technologies will create the biggest splash in 2025? This article is for you. In this article, you will learn about seven technologies that will disrupt businesses in 2025.

7 Technologies That Will Disrupt Businesses In 2025

Here are seven technologies that you can not afford to ignore in 2025.

Machine Learning

Remember the point I made earlier in the article about new technologies creating hype and once that hype goes away, the downward cycle begins. The same is true with generative AI. Businesses are attracted towards generative AI due to the hype but now they are struggling to generate a positive return on their AI investments.

One consequence of this move is that they have realized how powerful and effective machine learning can be. From improving decision making to enhancing processes, machine learning can help your organization gain a competitive advantage over your competitors.

In addition to this, machine learning can help you with forecasting, predicting customer trends behaviors and identifying useful patterns in consumer behavior. This not only helps you serve your customers in a much better way but also optimize resource allocation and utilization.

Slowly, you will see more and more businesses investing in machine learning technologies. As the time passes, we will see machine learning deeply ingrained into business operations and helping businesses operate more efficiently. This will not only help them stay competitive but also ensure that they understand the key metrics that are driving their business growth.

Edge Computing

According to an IDC report, edge computing spending will jump up by 15% and will reach a whopping $378 billion by 2028. This spending increase will be spread across hardware, software and services. Expect edge devices to become even more powerful.

Soon, they will be capable of handling machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads. As edge devices integrate with cloud computing, expect it to revolutionize industries such as manufacturing, healthcare and autonomous vehicles. Couple that with real time analytics and it will help you make the right decision at the right time.

5G Connectivity

Another IDC report, found that the revenue of private 5G infrastructure will hit $5.2 billion in 2027. For edge computing to gain wider adoption, we need the low latency network that 5G connectivity offers. Expect 5G technology to mature in 2025 and offer blazing fast speeds with low latency. We will also see new applications of 5G technology emerge in 2025. It will unlock a new world of possibilities.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize businesses by 2025, offering unprecedented computational power to solve complex problems faster than classical computers. This capability will enable businesses to optimize supply chains, enhance data analytics and perform complex simulations that were previously impossible. For example, industries like pharmaceuticals and materials science could accelerate drug discovery and the development of new materials, reducing costs and time to market.

Furthermore, quantum computing will drive innovation in financial services including risk analysis, portfolio optimization and fraud detection. The ability to process vast amounts of data and identify patterns in real-time will give businesses a competitive edge, enabling them to make more informed decisions.

However, the adoption of quantum computing will require significant investments in infrastructure, talent and training and businesses must be prepared to navigate these changes to fully leverage the technology’s potential.

Data Orchestration

Rob Skillington, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Chronosphere shares his own experience when he said, “We are constantly seeking to innovate how we manage our own data as well as how we improve how our platform manages, aggregates and provides insights for our customers.”

He further adds, “There are also platforms to help publish data from many different services and sources to help consolidate both transactional and operational data. For instance, you can extract, transform, and load data from Zendesk to your data warehouse using data orchestration tools that avoid a lot of manual heavy lifting. Now you can see how many tickets, time and energy is spent per customer and join that against customer behavior that already exists in your data warehouse.”

Server Management

Extended Reality

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have been around for a while now but could not get the same level of acceptance. This is why we will see a new version called extended reality which will combine the positives of both technologies into one.

The compound annual growth rate of extended reality is 44% from 2024 to 2027, according to a report. We have already seen big players like Apple and Meta dip their toes into the extended reality headset market. These gadgets are becoming less bulky and less expensive and capable of delivering a more immersive user experience. They are also finding applications in commercial design as well as training.

Attack Surface and Posture Management Cybersecurity Tools

Expect to see software as a service security posture management tools and cyber asset attack surface management tools make their way to the market. According to Max Belov, Chief Technology Officer of Coherent Solutions, “Software as a Service Security Posture Management tools enhance security by continuously monitoring and managing the security posture of SaaS applications, while Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management provides a comprehensive view of all cyber assets.”

Max Belov further adds, “This helps organizations understand and manage their attack surface that has changed significantly from the days of people working in the offices behind firewalls and within complex designs of local area networks and wide area networks.”
