A content distribution network (CDN) is a globally spread network of proxy servers and data centres. The goal of the content distribution network is to provide high performance and availability by spreading the service to several end consumers. Content distribution is a method of distributing web-based media via a traditional medium, such as television broadcast channels or the Internet. The content delivery network provides decreased bandwidth consumption, faster load times, and a variety of other benefits to online publishers, all of which are projected to have a favourable impact on the content delivery network market.

Drivers: The increasing demand for high definition (HD) and 4K video content has highlighted the importance of putting in place appropriate delivery mechanisms. These formats necessitate greater bandwidth and more robust infrastructure to distribute smoothly, making CDNs vital for video streaming services that want to provide high-quality watching experiences. Furthermore, as more people use websites, applications, and streaming services from their mobile devices, optimising content delivery for mobile consumers has become critical. CDNs help minimise load times and enhance performance for mobile users, hence improving the overall mobile experience. In addition, the industry has expanded due to the growing usage of cloud services. To improve service performance and reliability, cloud service providers like Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) incorporate CDN technologies into their systems. The rising use of CDNs as part of cloud strategy as a result of this integration has accelerated industry growth.

Challenges: Cyber dangers and security hazards are becoming more and more of a challenge for the European Content Delivery Network business. Wi-Fi networks, which serve as the cornerstone for Content Delivery Network systems, are appealing targets for cybercriminals because of the large amount of sensitive data they transfer and retain. Organisations must protect both the data acquired via the Content Delivery Network and the networks themselves from a variety of security risks. One of the most significant security problems is the possibility of unauthorised access to Wi-Fi networks and the data they transfer. Cyber criminals may obtain access to sensitive data by exploiting weaknesses in network security protocols or employing strategies such as credential theft. Wi-Fi network security breaches can lead to data leaks, unauthorised data manipulation, and network interruptions.

The COVID-19 epidemic benefited organisations who used content delivery network (CDN) technologies. Content delivery networks aided these organisations in meeting the high-capacity demands of internet traffic. Furthermore, during the pandemic, organisations around the world implemented work-from-home initiatives, creating a significant opportunity for the content delivery network industry.  Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been an increase in demand for over-the-top (OTT) services that use content delivery networks to provide excellent video quality to end consumers. The content delivery network market is predicted to grow gradually during the study period as the volume of data transmitted via the internet increases in tandem with the development of high-speed networks.
