Demand for Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Impact of COVID-19……..
The global content
delivery network (CDN) market
size is expected to reach USD 23,064.3
million by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR
of 11.7% over the forecast period, according to a study conducted by Grand
View Research, Inc. The unabated growth in internet traffic and data
consumption is expected to drive the growth of the market. The growing demand
for over-the-top (OTT) videos, online gaming, and internet advertising is also
expected to contribute to the market growth.
In contrast to its related industries like
consumer electronics and semiconductors, the data center and communications
infrastructure industry is expected to be more buoyant with continued strategic
investments made to support the increased network traffic and data usage for
remote working during the lockdown phase. From school closures necessitating
students to use virtual offerings (Google Classroom ) to the governments using
business analytics services (Power BI) for communicating virus updates, the
demand for communication services and related infrastructure has witnessed an
unprecedented rise amidst the global pandemic. Digital services including
telemedicine are expected to remain popular even after the pandemic is
contained, thereby ensuring strong growth in the communication infrastructure
industry. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
CDN solutions help in reducing the
transmission time of the content and subsequently in enhancing the performance
of content delivery. The demand for CDN solutions is rising significantly owing
to the growing popularity of online videos and live streaming. Security,
traffic load scaling, and reduction in latency are particularly necessary to
enhance the performance of video content delivery. Plummeting data tariffs,
increasing smartphone penetration, and high-speed data network rollouts are
also driving the CDN market growth.
Cloud delivery network is mainly used
for delivering media content to a larger customer base spread across the globe.
As such, the growing popularity of video on-demand (VoD) and OTT services is
driving the demand for CDN solutions. However, the cloud security segment is
expected to gain traction over the forecast period owing to the continued
emphasis on ensuring the security and privacy of the content. As such, key
market players, including Akamai Technologies, Amazon Web Services, and
Microsoft Corporation, are expected to invest aggressively in securing their
environment and developing secure CDN solutions.
North America emerged as the largest
regional market in 2018 as it is home to several leading companies, such as
Akamai Technologies, Deutsche Telekom, Limelight Networks, AT&T, Microsoft
Corporation, Quantil, StackPath, AWS, and Cloudflare. North America also one of
the largest customer bases demanding high-definition online content and online
games. CDN has already been deployed on a larger scale in North America,
especially to cater to the high-speed data network expansions. However, the
Asia Pacific regional market is expected to register the highest CAGR over the
forecast period owing to the growing penetration of smartphones, increasing
preference for online content delivery, continued growth of the e-commerce
industry, and continued high-speed network rollouts.

Some of the key players in the market for
content delivery network include Akamai Technologies, Inc.; Amazon Web
Services; CenturyLink; IBM; Limelight Networks, Inc.; Google, Inc.; Microsoft
Corporation; Deutsche Telekom; and Tencent Cloud; among others. These companies are undertaking several
initiatives aimed at expanding their customer reach. For instance, in April

Connections to support Microsoft Azure and Azure Government. The expansion
would allow the company to directly connect to almost 70% of the cloud users. The

in South Florida, Florida in line with the skyrocketing demand for enterprise
services.

The global content delivery network
market size was valued at USD 10.58 billion in 2018 and is expected to witness
a CAGR of 11.7% over the forecast period. The market growth can be attributed
to the growing volumes of content being exchanged over the internet in line
with the continued high-speed network rollouts. Effective solutions would be
required to ensure uninterrupted content delivery over a high-speed data
network, particularly to cater to the rising demand for Video-on-Demand (VOD)
and Over the Top (OTT) services. Plummeting data costs coupled with increasing
affordability and accessibility of broadband and mobile network access are some
of the other major factors that are expected to drive the demand for content
delivery network solutions.
The e-commerce industry is evolving
continuously in line with changing consumer behavior. As such, CDN solutions
are being employed to ensure that consumers have access to all the content
necessary to make an informed buying decision. CDN solutions are also being
employed aggressively to optimize delivery as consumers shift from conventional
television to video content delivery over a cellular network. At the same time,
implementation of digital solutions based on an IoT network across various
industries are prompting CDN solution providers to introduce customized
industry-specific CDN solutions. The growing adoption of advanced technologies,
such as artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), is also
opening opportunities to launch innovative CDN solutions.
