By type, the virtual application delivery controller to have a higher CAGR in the application delivery controller market during the forecast period
The virtual application delivery controller segment is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. It offers a cost-effective alternative with greater control when compared to the traditional application delivery controllers. Software-defined networking and virtualization have enabled more flexible deployments of application delivery controllers functionality. At the same time, the advent of multi-cloud environments and micro-services, such as containers, are changing the makeup of enterprise data centers. Virtual application delivery controllers also offer network and application innovations such as clustering, intelligent architecture, and deep packet inspection. These components ensure that applications run smoothly and effectively. The advantages of virtual application delivery controllers include simplified infrastructure, reduced costs, increased productivity, and enhanced end user experience.
Rise in internet traffic to drive the adoption of application delivery controller
With the rise in Internet traffic, business applications, and the number of Internet-enabled devices, application delivery controllers provide the front-end intelligence that supplements and enhances business application flows. In addition to traditional load balancing, application delivery controllers provide a host of features that maintain the availability, speed, and security of Internet-based applications. More advanced application delivery controllers offer critical data center functions such as application acceleration, layer 4-7 load balancing, application health-checks, SSL offload, DNS application firewalls, and DDoS protection. Application delivery controller distributes traffic load to a number of servers.

Asia Pacific (APAC) to account for the largest market size during the forecast period
Countries such as China, Japan, Australia, India, and Singapore are expected to contribute a significant market share for the market in APAC. Rising internet traffic, growing focus on virtualization, and the popularity of using infrastructure-as-a-service solutions are major growth drivers for the market in APAC. China, Japan, and India have significant potential for the global application delivery controller vendors because of the availability of significant proportion of end user verticals, favorable economic conditions by extending services to these regions, multifold increase in the adoption rate of virtualization environment-based applications, and absence of intense competition for market entrants. The APAC application delivery controller market is still at its nascent stage; however, rising organizational needs and growing popularity of workstation flexibility are expected to drive the market at a significant rate among the developing countries across the APAC region.
