90 percent of companies using CDN in Europe prefer Cloudflare

A trend of concentrating on the web technologies ecosystem in Europe has emerged. While almost 90 percent of European companies using content distribution networks (CDN) prefer Cloudflare, this rate shows that the market concentration in the industry reaches an alarming level.

Basic findings of research:

• Cloudflare is located in an unrivaled position in the European CDN market
• 9 of user companies concentrate on the same provider Tags
• This situation increases the risk of addiction to a single service provider
• Demand and diversity with alternative CDN solutions Tags
• Market structure points away from innovation and competition-based environment

These findings cover the importance of the market merger in the critical components of the digital infrastructure for the European technology sector. This degree of addiction to a single provider can create wide area effects in service interruptions and digest competitive environment.

This kind of condensation in cloud infrastructure and network services is a matter that it needs to be discussed in terms of digital independence and technological diversity of Europe in the long term.
