Summary of the Report

Global content delivery network market was valued at USD 10.73 Billion in 2020. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 22.1%) between 2021 and 2028. Market impact has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Content delivery network vendors (CDNs) rely on various economic factors such as vibrant financial markets, liquidity, and capital flow from financial institutions, to grow their revenue. The pandemic had a negative impact on liquidity and capital flow. The market is expected to continue growing due to the steady increase in data exchanged over the internet and the ongoing rollout of high speed networks. Many businesses around the world are no longer renewing their CDN subscriptions because they have moved to remote work.

A prolonged recession can be caused by uncertainties such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This could limit capital available to support the IT infrastructure that is essential to provide CDN services. This could negatively impact material access rates. It would be necessary to provide constant content delivery via a high-speed network during the forecast period. This is primarily to meet the growing demand for Over the Top and Video-on Demand (VOD) services. The market is expected to grow over the forecast period.

Global e-commerce is constantly evolving to meet changing consumer behaviour. CDN solutions are deployed effectively to ensure that the global online e-commerce market operates at maximum capacity and that customers have all the information they need to make informed purchasing decisions. CDN solutions can also be used to improve content delivery, as customers move from traditional TV to video content delivery over the cellular network. Market players are promoting customized, industry-specific CDN solutions simultaneously as they promote digital solutions that are based on IoT networks in various industries.

Broadcasters must ensure that VOD and OTT services are available over the network without any latency and improve video delivery quality. Global investments in network infrastructure, particularly in emerging economies, have led to improved network connectivity, bandwidth, coverage, and overall network connectivity. These developments have helped consumers stay connected, receive instant updates, and retrieve readymade data. Broadcasters are now able to deliver diversified content across multiple applications, thereby improving their content delivery.

Online gaming and digital marketing preferences are increasing rapidly, especially in India and China. The market is also benefiting from technological advances and the impending rollout 5G networks. To withstand fierce competition, major platform providers and businesses are increasingly looking at vertical and horizontal integration strategies to stay ahead. Companies that are well-known for their technology solutions are now moving to the content space.

CDN solutions are widely used in media and entertainment to increase video and audio streaming content delivery. Customers desire to be able to access the content they want, wherever and whenever they are convenient. There is an increasing demand for original, high-quality content. The consumption patterns are constantly changing. CDN solutions are essential to improve network performance and increase content delivery.

Content-type Insights

In 2020, the dynamic CDN segment was dominant in the global market and accounted to a 63% revenue share. This segment growth can be attributed largely to growing demand for CDN solutions that support real-time Voice Over IP (VoIP), streaming and online gaming. Dynamic content is data that changes constantly as part of custom web services. Customers want to receive all services from one provider. Operators can meet these needs through network optimization and delivery optimization.

Over the forecast period, significant growth is expected in static CDN segments. Static content does not need to be generated and is usually free from variations. Websites and applications are built to provide large amounts of static content to users. The volume of static content is increasing, which means that page load times and bandwidth consumption are also rising. This can impact the server's capacity and affect the user's browsing experience. CDN can be used to cache static content across a number of geographically dispersed servers. This reduces page load times, improves performance, controls bandwidth consumption and lowers infrastructure costs. These factors will all contribute to the expected growth of static CDN segments over the forecast period.

Solutions Insights

In 2020, the media delivery segment was dominant in the market and represented a more than 40% revenue share. This segment will grow at the fastest rate of CAGR between 2021 and 2028. Segment growth will be driven by the proliferation of smartphones and other smart and connected devices that can support digital media. Customers have the option to access their data from any location, even in emerging countries, thanks to the continued rollout of high speed networks. This segment will continue to grow due to the need for CDN solutions that ensure media delivery is free from latency.

Due to growing privacy and data security concerns, the cloud security segment will see significant growth in the future. Many businesses rely on cloud storage and telecommunications for their operations. Therefore, it is becoming a top priority to protect the assets and systems hosted in the cloud. Cloud security is being increasingly looked at to protect cloud infrastructure from hackers and secure cloud data.

Service Provider Insights

In 2020, the traditional commercial CDN segment was dominant and accounted to a greater than 50% of the market's revenue. This segment is expected to grow due to the multiple services offered by service providers for network optimization and content acceleration. CDN providers are attempting to improve network optimization and content delivery by offering solutions that can be used for data consumption. The advent of new technologies is making it increasingly difficult for traditional CDN to meet the demands. Mobile users increasingly demand content that is further away from origin servers. This is because it is less optimized for their mobile devices. These drawbacks will limit segment growth during the forecast period.

Over the forecast period, cloud will experience significant growth. This segment is expected to grow due to the growing volume of rich media content, proliferation smart & connected devices and introduction of high-quality videos. Rich media also becomes more accessible on social media. Other factors that will drive growth in the cloud CDN segment include the growing popularity of e-commerce and online shopping.

End Use Insights

In 2020, the media & entertainment segment was dominant and accounted to a 32% revenue share. Due to the increasing demand for VOD and online streaming, the media & entertainment sector has seen significant growth. This primarily requires optimizing data and network delivery. CDN solutions are able to optimize content delivery and reduce delay, as online customers demand high-quality visual capabilities. This can be a major factor in increasing revenues for media and entertainment companies by providing a high-quality viewing experience.

The fastest CAGR for e-commerce is expected to be between 2021 and 2028. Over the forecast period, significant growth is expected in the gaming segment. Gaming is a growing industry that requires high download speeds to provide the best gaming experience for users (gamers). Because most games have high resolution resolutions and large file sizes, slow internet speeds are not an option. Additionally, gamers may be discouraged by long waiting times when downloading games. This can prevent gaming companies reaching a wider audience. To avoid any performance lag, online game companies use CDN solutions.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was the dominant market region in 2020, accounting for 39% of global revenue. Because of its presence of emerging economies like India and China, the regional market will grow at a faster CAGR between 2021 and 2028. It is also one the fastest-growing consumer markets. The growing population has also led to a greater demand for technological advances in networking infrastructure to meet the demands of online media consumption. Digital India is one of the many regional government initiatives that have allowed data delivery to be managed quickly and securely. This has led to an increase in CDN usage.

Over the forecast period, North America will experience significant growth. Key factors driving the market growth in North America are high internet penetration and the rising popularity of 4K resolution displays. A robust CDN infrastructure is required for the efficient delivery of data on a 4K resolution display. The rapid adoption of cloud-based services as well as the introduction of high speed data networks will have a positive impact on the region's market growth. Other factors that contribute to the adoption and growth of CDN solutions within the region include a high level of smartphone penetration and a surge in leisure spending.
