Drivers - Content delivery network market

- CDN can decrease loading time, website latency and handle traffic spikes

Over the course of the last decade, the number of internet users worldwide has tripled from 1 billion in 2005 to 4 billion in 2019. With an expanding user base and global audience, websites need to ensure content is available no matter the amount of traffic or distance from the origin website servers. The distributed network of servers that make up a CDN can decrease loading time, website latency and handle traffic spikes. On a global scale, the publisher is forecasting more than two-third of the world's population will have a smartphone by 2025. By comparison, in 2011, this percentage hovered at about 10 percent. A dynamic CDN optimized for mobile content delivery assists in providing users with a smooth and speedy interaction with a website.

- Surge in global B2C e-commerce sales

According to the publisher, by 2019, global B2C ecommerce sales are expected to reach $2 trillion. A website with a CDN can better handle sharp spikes in traffic, like those during sales or big events, by distributing and directing traffic over its available servers. CDN takes it one step further with its Dynamic Web Acceleration service, a proprietary language that compresses round trips between the user's interface and origin servers.

- Work from home policy due to covid-19

Due to Covid-19 situation, there is an increase in work from home options, which can directly and indirectly lead to higher media consumption. Remote classes and training plans also will contribute to increased IP traffic, which will lead to higher utilization of CDNs across countries.
