In the market, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) play a crucial role in ensuring internet traffic efficiency and optimizing online gaming experiences, especially with 4K and Ultra HD content. CDNs enhance digital content delivery, catering to gaming companies and streaming services by minimizing latency for high-quality, low-latency digital experiences. They support e-commerce platforms in delivering media & entertainment industry content such as audio and video with low-latency data for VOD and OTT services. CDNs improve website and application performance through content caching and localized caching strategies, benefiting smart city initiatives by ensuring network performance and video delivery efficiency. As demand grows for original and high-quality content, CDNs facilitate seamless video and audio content delivery, crucial for engaging consumers and enhancing the overall digital shopping and entertainment experience in the footwear market.
The high server availability is notably driving market growth. Online assets can be easily distributed across various regions with the help of CDNs. These networks can automatically sense the availability of servers and divert content accordingly. This provides customers with an enhanced user experience by minimizing latency. CDN delivers dynamic and interactive content to end-users at a high speed and lower bandwidth. The high server availability ensures the delivery of content requests made by users by automatically routing them to the nearest servers in the network.
Moreover, video content is frequently uploaded on social media platforms. Many organizations share live events to increase traffic on their websites and strengthen their business. This marketing strategy is supported by the implementation of CDN solutions. Therefore, the need for effective CDN solutions that can optimize the live and uninterrupted delivery of content is expected to drive the growth of the global CDN market during the forecast period.
The increasing focus on the development of content delivery clouds is one of the major market trends. There has been a gradual shift from traditional CDNs to cloud-based CDNs in the past five years. Content delivery cloud solutions improve the delivery service capabilities of web applications and storage. They also provide access to various specialized services. Content delivery cloud solutions help organizations focus on recognizing essential application requirements and improve scalability.
Further, in December 2020, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. launched a cloud CDN service in India to help businesses in delivering enhanced user web experience and provide opportunities in online travel and hospitality, e-commerce, and digital marketing. Similarly, in March 2020, the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) initiative announced the CDN and Cloud Program to support securing the large hubs of the Internet from several routing problems. Such initiatives will support the market during the forecast period.
The high price of CDN solutions is challenging market growth. The charges for CND services are high, as they are provided by a third party. The features of CDN solutions, such as scalability, compatibility, and performance, make them expensive. Moreover, providers have to bear the high maintenance expenses. As a result, only large players can survive in this market, and smaller players restrict their businesses to a regional level to reduce costs.
Additionally, most deployments of large CDN solutions have hidden charges along with setup fees. This is a challenge for smaller companies with limited funds. In addition, the pricing structure of CDNs is not transparent. Thus, companies need to enter into contracts with CDN service providers carefully. These factors might hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
