‘Increasing volume of data on the internet to drive market growth’

From now until 2021, MarketsandMarkets is predicting huge growth for the Content Delivery Network (CDN) market from just over $6 billion to over $23 billion; this works out at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30%.

For the most part, this will be a result of the excess video content available as well as an increase in the digitization trend. Currently, there are factors restricting growth within the CDN market including connectivity problems and latency.

‘Largest market share to go to media delivery’

Within the CDN market, there are three key areas with media delivery, cloud security core solutions, and web performance optimization. Since there is a need for reliable managed and unmanaged content delivery, the media delivery solution is currently experiencing growth.

‘Highest CAGR to be seen in Asia-Pacific (APAC) region’

Within the APAC region, there are many prospective growth opportunities and this has come from a marked increase in adoption of mobile and smartphone devices, a rise in cloud services consumption, as well as high levels of video over portable devices consumption.
