In November 2023, Microsoft Corporation announced an investment of $500 million to expand its hyperscale cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure alongside new AI and cybersecurity skilling initiatives in the province of Quebec, Canada.

Hardware Based Delivery Controller are the Largest Segment

Hardware-based delivery controllers continue to dominate the market owing to their long-standing presence, proven reliability and ability to handle demanding applications in various industries like finance, healthcare, and telecommunications. Their dedicated hardware ensures superior performance, security, and scalability, making them the go-to choice for mission-critical environments. According to F5, the VIPRION® 4800 is a high-performance load balancer designed to handle unprecedented levels of traffic. It can process over 20 million web requests per second and deliver SSL encryption at speeds exceeding 160 Gbps, far outperforming competing products.

Large Enterprises Are Leading the Market

Large enterprises dominate the delivery controller market due to their expansive IT infrastructure and the need to manage high volumes of data traffic. These organizations rely heavily on secure and reliable application delivery to maintain business continuity. Given their complexity, large enterprises face significant cybersecurity threats, making delivery controllers crucial for maintaining network security and performance. According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, large businesses experience 496 incidents annually with 227 cases of confirmed data disclosure. Additionally, IBM’s report highlights the average cost of a data breach at $3.86 million, pushing large organizations to invest in delivery controllers to mitigate risks and optimize application performance.

Growth of E-Commerce Drives the Market

The expansion of e-commerce drives the need for high-performance delivery controllers to manage fluctuating traffic volumes and ensure consistent uptime. Vietnam and Thailand are the two fastest growing e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia, according to the 2024 E-commerce in Southeast Asia report by Momentum Works. The total merchandise value of the top eight e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia reached $114.6 billion in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 15%. Invest India forecasts India's e-commerce to soar to $325 billion by 2030, fueled by 500 million shoppers and a robust, low-cost internet penetration. As online shopping continues to grow, businesses must maintain seamless and reliable digital experiences to retain customers and protect revenue. Delivery controllers offer key functionalities such as load balancing, content caching and session persistence which are essential in handling large traffic spikes during promotions or seasonal events. By optimizing application performance delivery controllers help e-commerce platforms deliver faster page load times, enhance security and ensure a better user experience. The growth of the e-commerce sector is expected to further boost the demand for delivery controllers globally.

High Initial Costs to Hamper Growth

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face challenges in adopting delivery controller solutions due to the high costs associated with these systems. Advanced delivery controllers, especially hardware-based or feature-rich cloud versions, can be expensive to purchase, implement, and maintain. SMEs typically have smaller IT budgets and fewer resources compared to large enterprises, making it harder for them to justify the investment in such technologies. Additionally, the complexity of configuring and managing delivery controllers adds another barrier. SMEs often lack the specialized IT teams needed to handle these advanced systems. As a result, the steep learning curve, coupled with ongoing maintenance and updates, makes delivery controllers less accessible to smaller businesses. This limits their ability to fully optimize traffic management, security, and application performance, which large enterprises can more easily achieve with their greater financial and human resources.
