Of the 44,143 European companies with a CDN, 39,547, or 89.6%, use Cloudflare as their front door. This figure is higher than the global average of 84.1% according to W3Techs. The remaining vendors, Amazon, Fastly, and Akamai, account for 3,112, 1,299, and 396 companies respectively. The share of Cloudflare users varies across countries, ranging from 81.4% in Germany to 95% in Spain and Ireland.
The concentration of companies behind a single CDN raises concerns about resilience and the potential impact of outages affecting the entire market.
