Content Delivery Network Market- Insights

A content distribution network or content delivery network (CDN) is a system distributed network that delivers webpages or different web content data across various geographical locations. Content delivery network delivers a large portion of online content, including web objects (scripts, graphics, and text), downloading objects (documents, software, and media files), applications (portals and e-commerce), social networking, on-demand streaming media, and live streaming media. There has been a rise in IP data traffic backed by internet proliferation, worldwide in the recent past. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, in 2016, 96,054 PB IP data traffic was generated per month and is projected to reach 278,108 PB IP data traffic by 2021, globally. Increasing adoption of video supporting devices, wearable devices, AR/VR technology, and digitization is increasing data traffic globally, which in turn is expected to boost demand for content delivery network.

Growing e-commerce industry is expected to aid in growth of the market

Growing e-commerce industry is a major factor that aids in growth of the content delivery network market. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, in 2018, India recorded 483 million internet users, which is projected to reach 666.4 million by 2023. Moreover, increasing demand for less uploading time is also fueling adoption of content delivery network technology in e-commerce companies. According to a survey conducted by Coherent Market Insights, in 2016, 47% worldwide consumers expected a web page to load in 2 seconds or less. Increasing website loading time results in low consumer retention on the webpage. Results of the survey revealed that an increase in loading time by one second reduces 11% page views, adversely affecting revenue generated by the e-commerce company. Therefore, to overcome this challenge, e-commerce companies are adopting content delivery network technology to reduce loading time of the webpage.
