This process enables the end-user to obtain the content without any packet loss or packet delay.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rise in demand for wearables and smartphones


The use of smartphones across developing economies is continuously increasing from the last decade, owing to the numerous factors such as increase in cost affordability, per capita income, availability of multiple low-price options with significant features, and others. In addition, growth in application of bring-your-own-device policy and work from home adoption by many organizations due to COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the growing use of smartphones for official purpose. For example, the survey by one of the web sites OBERLO.com states that the number of smartphone users is increasing every year. In 2020, the total number of smartphone users has crossed 3.5 million, which is 9.3% greater than in 2019. In addition, South Korea has the highest percentage of smart phone users in the world, which is 95% of its total population. Moreover, nearly 45.5% people of the total population that is 7.7 million people are using smartphones in the world. The percentage of smartphone users in the U.S. is 76% of its total population. This growing use of smartphones creates lucrative opportunity in the global content delivery network market forecast period.

Restraint:

Complexities with quality of service


Quality of service (QoS) refers to the efficient monitoring of the components like routers, servers, latency in the network. Managing all these parameters requires significant energy, time, and costs from the CDN service providers. Ensuring proper execution and delivery by the site administrators is also significantly difficult. The complex nature, unpredictability, and unstable nature of Peer-to-Peer CDN is the major restraint in the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Market. The necessities of a fully-fledged decentralized protocol that monitors and prevents the algorithm from any errors are potentially difficult. Such factors are major restraints in the technology itself. The quality of the video content is affected as the content is obtained from several sources which also significantly affect the interest of the internet user. Degraded quality in the live streaming videos and video conferencing are imposing huge adverse effects on the market.

Opportunity:

Growing internet penetration


Since the primary features of CDN are delivering content like media, web applications, Software, and APIs without any potential delay, they are widely utilized by the industrial sectors and are expected to be utilized more in the forecast period. The number of internet users has increased in recent years and the changing trends towards internet usage over television are highly influencing the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Market in recent times. Several industrial operations are highly relayed in the IoT applications which take advantage of the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Market to provide speedy delivery of higher performance contents. The rising usage of the internet and ability to share instantly to the world has propelled the Content Delivery Network market value in recent times. When the host goes live, or periodically shares content in the form of images, videos, proper delivery is essential without any interruption. Such factors act as primary opportunities for the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Market growth.

Threat:

Viral attacks and cyber threats


The increasing number of video content like movies, shows has increased the risk of exposure to viral attacks and cyber-attacks. Internet users are increasingly receiving links to their emails with viruses which tend to steal the personal information of the recipient. Issues related to copyrights, terms, and conditions including other digital rights are often emerged due to misuse of data or information. Potential strategies and procedures must be deployed to eliminate these issues. The absence of essential functionality in protecting the end-user by providing secured video content is currently a major threat in the Content Delivery Network market.

The solution segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The solution segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The maximum volume of data or content accessible on the internet is consumed through CDN. Users have no patience to wait for the content to buffer, and this challenge has made content delivery even more crucial for organizations. The rising digitalization across the globe is anticipated to drive the adoption of CDN solutions. Digitalization trends, such as BYOD, CYOD, mobility, and social media marketing, have eased the operation of organizations and increased the traffic over the existing networks. Organizations leverage social media to post their videos and non-video content and publish ads and banners on third-party sites. Organizations use an appropriate CDN solution to deliver their content to the target customers with a better QoE. In addition, the availability of low-cost bandwidth has made the internet accessible to every individual, dramatically changing the data consumption trend. Furthermore, social media and mobile apps have extensively added to the overall data consumption.

The retail & e-commerce segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The retail & e-commerce segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The E-commerce industry can operate at a high capacity with the help of content delivery network solutions. The business of the online retailers is highly relied on in keeping the customer engaged till they place the order for the products. Buffering during the checkout or in the mid of order might affect the interest of the customers and might lead to losing a potential customer. Hence optimization of higher quality delivery is crucial in the e-commerce sector. Moreover, the utilization of IoT networks in various industrial sectors is considered as the primary driving factor for the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Market. This factor has propelled the leading e-commerce sectors and potentially growing e-commerce platforms to invest in the Content Delivery Network market.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the growing number of users accessing the web content. With the presence of the market leaders and early adoption of technologies across various end-user verticals, North America stood as the leading regional market and is expected to continue its dominance, over the forecast period. Presence of prominent player such as Microsoft Corporation headquartered at Washington, United States and initiatives taken by government are contributing towards the market growth in the region. In addition, the new start up companies including StackPath and Fastly are also contributing towards the growth of the market to a large extent. The number of viewers for online gaming content has also been increasing consistently. The growth of gaming video content is further contributing to the growth of CDN around the world. In the United States, the usage of Paytv has also been reducing. An increasing number of consumers have been identified to prefer online media content to Paytv. Off late, cord-cutting has been accelerating and about 22.2 million cord-cutting are expected to be done in the coming years, emphasizing the shift toward on-demand content thereby creating ample opportunities for the market in North American region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to the rapid development in telecommunication and IT sector and strong economic growth that drives enterprise to invest in CDN network for improved productivity. Moreover, various factors such as rise in cloud deployment and technological advancement and digital transformation are also driving the market growth in the region. The fastest growth rate of the Asia Pacific CDN market can be attributed to the ever-increasing consumption of content in these emerging countries. Moreover, the market is experiencing disruptive growth due to its growing number of internet subscribers and increasing internet consumption through smartphones and other portable devices. With emerging countries such as Japan, South Korea, and China, the region is expected to witness high growth in the CDN market.
