CDN Market Forecast 2026-2031: Analysis and Trends

The way we watch content is constantly evolving, with streaming services taking over traditional broadcasting. A recent forecast on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) sheds light on this trend. Although CDN traffic is projected to skyrocket from 24.9 EB in 2026 to 22,362 EB by 2031, the growth rate is expected to slow down from 18% to 10% as viewer saturation nears.

This shift raises important questions about CDN revenue prospects and what it means for the Media and Entertainment (M&E) sector of the CDN market. The report highlights that major players like YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video control a significant portion of CDN traffic, limiting the available opportunity for CDN vendors in the M&E space.

The forecast offers valuable insights for OTT video services, CDN vendors, and investors, especially those focused on M&E. It includes detailed projections for the global CDN market and the M&E subset, covering global and regional perspectives. The report delves into regional traffic trends, revenue opportunities, and discusses current and emerging CDN technologies.

For decision-makers, this forecast is essential for shaping product strategies, investment decisions, and setting long-term expectations. If you’re involved in the OTT video industry or the CDN market, this report is a must-read.
