The global content delivery network market size is expected to reach USD 66.93 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for advanced technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) & artificial intelligence (AI), increasing accessibility & affordability of mobile & broadband networks, reducing costs, and increasing demand for affordable smartphones and data plans are giving the opportunities to market players to launch advanced content delivery network (CDN) solutions, thereby supporting market growth.
The market is poised for steady growth over the forecast period in line with the continued rollout of high-speed data networks and the subsequent rise in the volumes of data being exchanged on the internet. With companies expanding their operations globally, the need to deliver content swiftly and reliably to users across different regions is becoming imperative. CDNs enable businesses to reach geographically dispersed audiences by caching content closer to end-users, thereby reducing latency and improving the overall quality of service. The evolving cyber threat landscape is also prompting organizations to opt for CDN solutions to ensure robust protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, web application vulnerabilities, and data breaches.
Advances in edge computing are equally emphasizing the significance of CDNs in supporting low-latency, high-throughput applications, and services by processing data closer to end-users. Another factor driving the adoption of CDN solutions is the growing mobile internet usage, with CDNs playing a pivotal role in optimizing content delivery for mobile devices, enhancing user experience, and conserving bandwidth. As edge computing, 5G, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), among other latest technologies, continue to advance, the CDN market is poised for sustained growth, driving enhanced content delivery capabilities and enabling businesses to effectively meet the evolving demands of the digital era.
