3. Akamai Technologies (US) and Microsoft (US) are leading players in Content Delivery Network Market

MarketsandMarkets forecasts the global Content Delivery Network Market size to grow from USD 19.2 billion in 2022 to USD 34.5 billion by 2027, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period. The presence of various key players in the ecosystem has led to competitive and diverse market. Content delivery network is an interconnected system of computers on the internet that provides web content rapidly to numerous users by duplicating or caching the content on multiple servers and directing the content to users on distance. CDN is used to serve content to end-users with high availability and high performance. CDNs are used by a large portion of the internet content today, including web objects (text, graphics, and scripts), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications (eCommerce, portals), real-time streaming data, on-demand streaming media, and social networks. When an end-user requests a specific web page, video, or file, the server closest to that user is dynamically determined and is used to deliver the content to that user, thereby increasing the speed of delivery. Content may be replicated on hundreds or thousands of servers to provide identical content to as many users as possible, even during peak usage.

The adoption rate of CDN solutions is expected to grow due to the increasing utilization of data over the internet and the increasing digitalization trend among companies. Organizations are focusing on engaging customers to improve their businesses and sustain the competition. Therefore, they are leveraging CDNs to make their online presence stronger and more effective to deliver the best, high-quality, end-user experience. The performance of websites and their loading time is very important for companies. This directly affects customer experience, customer adoption, and the ranking of their search engines. Users expect high-quality performance on their devices, which is achieved by implementing CDN solutions by content providers. Latency issues, excess time taken by webpages or websites to load, and crashing/freezing of websites may give a negative image to end-users. This can severely affect the company’s customer base and popularity among users. CDNs are deployed to improve the speed of websites, decrease the loading time, and enhance network efficiency and performance. The CDN providers also offer various solutions, such as web acceleration, cloud security, and media delivery.
