The important driver increasing growth in the global CDN market is the proliferation of video and rich media over social sites. Across various social media platforms, the explosion of videos and rich media has increased the growth of CDN in the global market. Around 6 billion videos are viewed on YouTube every day, whereas for Facebook the number has reached 4 billion. Out of above-stated stats, 75% are viewed through a smartphone or other mobile phones. This explosion is a result of the fact that CDN helps to reduce latency by providing high bandwidth content like video streaming.

Transcoding and DRM Solutions is expected to lead the global content delivery network market. It is generally used for streaming videos, in which the video streaming is done with the encoding. In this process, the video or image is processed, and it then transcodes and fragments into various encoding. After that, the fragmented parts are packed in different bundles, and these bundles are encrypted and finally delivered to the user server.

Latency issues, security-related issues, and a lack of control in certain areas of the content are the major factors hindering the CDN market. One of the major concerns of a CDN is to deliver potential security solutions for confidential and high-value content. Security is the protection of content from unauthorized access and modification. Without a proper security control, a CDN platform is subject to cyber fraud, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, viruses, and other unwanted intrusions which incapacitate the business. A CDN aims at meeting the stringent requirements of physical, network, software, data and procedural security. Once the security requirements are met, a CDN can eliminate the need for costly hardware and dedicated component to protect content and transactions.
