Akamai Exits China's CDN Market
2025-01-08
Akamai announced it will cease offering CDN services in mainland China on June 30, 2026. This isn't due to operational difficulties in China, but rather a strategic shift towards cloud computing and security services, which now account for two-thirds of its revenue. Akamai is recommending its Chinese customers migrate to CDN services offered by Chinese companies like Tencent Cloud and Wangsu Science & Technology, offering support for the transition. This move reflects a shift in Akamai's approach to the Chinese market and highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by global tech companies operating within China.
