A commercial peer-to-peer content delivery network can be described as a system of distributed servers that delivers pages and other web content to the user, based on the geographical location of the user, the origin of the web page, and the content delivered. Peer to Peer CDN consists of interconnected servers that conveniently deliver extensive network content to a variety of users in multiple locations. These networks are designed to offer a greater quality of operation to end-users when accessing the Internet. It duplicates material from the original servers and saves it for timely use in the cache servers. This would increase the efficiency of internet connexion. Peer-to-peer content distribution networks aim to ensure the high availability of high-performance servers by delivering service to end-users. P2P CDN can also boost network performance and user interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
A P2P CDN allows lowering the demand on the server. The CDN (content distribution network) is an internet-based technology that provides all the requisite data, such as images, videos, etc. There are several such networks all over the world. Rapid growth in e-commerce is one of the key factors impacting the growth of the global P2P CDN industry. If more consumers choose to buy online, eCommerce firms may eventually have to host their data on servers. Enabling faster loading of the web and data would also increase the market image of the business. These reasons are a positive indicator of the success of the global commercial P2P CDN market. Another consideration is the growth in users of social media. Yahoo, YouTube, and Instagram have millions of users all around the world. Although the internet has reached the remotest areas of the world, the convenience of uploading and downloading content will still be crucial. Hence, such factors will propel growth in the global commercial P2P CDN market.
Content Type Segment
In terms of content type, the market is bifurcated into video and non-video. The non-video segment is estimated to accrue significant market growth over the forecast period. However, in the year 2019, the video segment holds a major market share and it is likely to keep its position throughout the forecast period. This is primarily due to the growing trend of Video-on-Demand (VoD), rich media files, on-the-go video content, and other related services. This rising trend has led to a growing demand for video-enabled content distribution over the CDN network, which can be distributed via cloud or data storage from the end of the provider.
Solutions Segment
In terms of solutions, the market is bifurcated into web performance optimization, media delivery, and cloud security. The media delivery segment expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing number of smartphones and numerous other handheld devices has given rise to several multimedia formats to be presented differently on each type of device. As the Internet Protocol (IP) traffic grows, the distribution of latency-free media files has become the primary target of broadcasters. As a result, the partnerships of media broadcasters and content providers with P2P CDN service providers have expanded dramatically.
End-User Segment
Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into consumers and businesses. The consumer leads the market growth in 2019 and it is anticipated to hold its position during the forecast years. Currently, millennials propel Internet traffic through continents. This has greatly impacted the development of data traffic, resulting in a spike in the introduction of commercial P2P CDNs. This demand is mainly attributed to the rising explosion of media and entertainment and gaming verticals.
Vertical Segment

Rising developments in video-on-demand (VoD), online audio streaming, podcasts, and live web episodes have accelerated the adoption of cloud-based platforms that provide consumers with uninterrupted access to the data they choose to see. In comparison, the introduction of P2P CDNs plays an active role during peak hours by preventing data traffic. Media and Entertainment incorporate CDN technologies to provide rich media content to provide the end-users with optimal user experience.

projected to keep its position during the forecast years 2021-2028. However, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to gather the highest growth over the forecast years.
