The need for content delivery networks (CDNs) in India is anticipated to rise over the course of the forecast period as more video content is streamed online. The traditional delivery method for TV on cable is being replaced by the Internet. In order to take advantage of prospective revenue prospects, a number of organisations in the market are keen to enter the OTT service space. This will presumably lead to a rise in Internet traffic, which will put even more pressure on businesses and service providers to offer end users with the best possible experience. For example, while streaming on smart devices, almost 23% of Indian viewers find buffering to be a major drawback. In order to have an unbuffered viewing experience, users are gradually moving toward OTT-VOD services.
The India Content Delivery Network Market was valued at US$ 787.65 Mn in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 5879.24 Mn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 25.3% between 2022 and 2030.
