Key Findings
- The CDN market experienced solid growth in 2018 and is expected to grow another 6% in 2019 to reach $5.3bn in revenue.
- In 2019, revenue from the edge security services segment will top the $1B revenue mark, fueled by the growth of Akamai, Cloudflare, and other security-focused vendors.
