TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Content Delivery Network Market: Akamai Technologies Inc., CDNetworks Co. Ltd., Level 3 Communications Inc., and Limelight Networks.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the main trends being witnessed in the Global CDN market is the growing pricing pressure on vendors owing to the competition among them. The market was dominated by Akamai till 2009, but the company is now witnessing immense competitive pressure from peers such as Level 3 Networks, Limelight, and CDNetworks. As a result, Akamai, which earlier used to adopt a premium pricing strategy for its CDN solutions, has reduced its prices. Hence, vendors such as Akamai are managing to attract more customers but are compromising with their margins.”
According to the report, the improved availability of services provided by the CDNs is driving the demand for CDNs across the globe is. CDN assets are distributed across diverse regions and have mechanisms that can automatically sense server availability and facilitate instant user redirection.
Further, the report states that despite the steady growth of the global CDN market, it is challenged by the high cost factor of the CDN. CDNs are usually provided by third-party vendors. The fees charged by third-party vendors for their services are generally high, and hence it is difficult, especially for SMEs, to bear these expenses. Most deployments of the larger CDN solutions also have hidden charges along with the setup fees.

The other vendors in the market are Accelia Inc., Abacast Inc., Amazon Web Services, BitGravity Inc., BitTorrent Inc., CacheFly, ChinaCache Inc., Cotendo Inc., Conviva Inc.,EdgeCast Networks Inc., EdgeStream Inc., Highwinds Network Group Inc., and Peer1 Network Enterprise Inc.
