Description

This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J9010104) analyzes the new trends and market opportunities in the Japan content delivery network (CDN) services market that has gained renewed attention due to the penetration of broadband and increased demand for rich content.

"Due to increased demand for rich content such as videos, cost and operation limits that come with using self-operated delivery systems are being reached, resulting in increasing numbers of enterprises leveraging CDN services. On the other hand, price competition is intensifying due to the economic downturn, and CDN service providers are searching for businesses that expand sales and improve profitability. The provision of value added services that support the monetization of digital assets, and the cultivation/support of sales channels are future challenges," comments Akiko Kawakami, senior market analyst, Communications, IDC Japan.
