Market Growth Factors
The global CDN market is driven by rising internet traffic due to the increasing usage of high-bandwidth applications such as online video and games. Internet penetration is rising in the US reaching more than 99%, the third largest internet user population behind China and India with the US having over 310 million internet users. The demand for CDNs is increasing due to the rise in use of subscription video-on-demand services and online social networking services that host high-definition videos and rich content. CDNs perform for latency-sensitive and high-bandwidth media such as video streaming by caching the data near the end-users.
The use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has made internet and digital media more widely accessible. The projected number of smartphone users around the world will be six billion in 2027. This will require implementation of mobile-first strategies and CDN optimization techniques like adaptive bitrate streaming or mobile caching in order to meet the requirements and constraints of different mobile networks. Further to that, the rise of 5G networks will accelerate demand for advanced CDN technologies due to their higher speeds and lower latency.
CDNs make delivery faster by reducing load times and buffering. CDN services reduce latency by caching content at edge locations that are closer to users, thereby improving user satisfaction and increasing the likelihood that people keep coming back to a site. Real-time analytics and content optimization, other new features, permit an enterprise to optimize its content delivery based on performance analysis and user response. These features are also a part of the constant demand for high-quality digital content and the need to expand infrastructure in the media, e-commerce, and SaaS sectors.
