A detailed analysis of the streaming media content distribution business in 2003, including forecasts for 2004.





This report's findings and data analysis reveal:





  • The CDN market was worth close to $350 million dollars in 2003, including hosting, storage, tracking, quality assurances, direct and indirect bandwith costs associated with streaming media




  • CDN services for both streaming video and Internet radio is estimated at between $90 million and $115 million dollars in 2003




  • On the backhaul side (costs associated with buying bulk bandwidth/capacity from carrier networks and operators made by destination networks) is estimated at between $50-$65 million dollars in 2003, indicating a total bandwidth services market size to both ensure sufficient distribution capacity and actual direct delivery costs of about $150 million dollars in 2003




  • CDNs were able to price basic retail CDN services at very competitve rates due to falling backhaul bandwidth prices




  • CDNs experienced triple-digit growth rates in 2003, in terms of data transferred compared to 2002, but falling prices meant that revenue grew at double-digit rates



  • CDN is a high growth market segment, but only a small part of what distribution networks provide in terms of bandwith and content-related services and revenue generation
