Market Share of Cloud CDN Industry
Due to prominent industry players such as Google Inc. and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) sector experiences intense competitive rivalry. These key players leverage strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions to maintain a strong presence in the market. Substantial investments in research and development activities have enabled them to sustain a competitive edge over their peers.
In August 2023, StackPath made the significant decision to exit the Content Delivery Network (CDN) business. In response, Akamai announced its acquisition of approximately 100 CDN customers from StackPath. As part of this acquisition, Akamai secured valuable assets, including select enterprise customer contracts, following StackPath's choice to discontinue its content delivery network operations.
In September 2022, Bharti Airtel (Airtel) entered the content delivery network (CDN) market by launching Edge CDN as part of its Edge Cloud Portfolio. Concurrently with this launch, the company formed a strategic partnership with CDN enabler Qwilt to deploy Edge CDN.ai.
