Salam, a leading telecommunications provider in Saudi Arabia, has partnered with CDNetworks to enhance internet service quality and meet the rising demands of the digital age. This agreement focuses on delivering International IP Transit services with the lowest latency, providing unmatched internet solutions to the Saudi market.
The partnership comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is experiencing a rapid increase in demand for advanced internet services and digital content. The Kingdom’s Games Live Streaming market is expected to grow by 6.36% between 2025 and 2027, reaching a market volume of US$141.40 million by 2027. Furthermore, 73% of Saudi gamers prefer smartphones for gaming, according to YouGov.
The Video Streaming (SVoD) market in the country is also set to grow by 8.06%, with an expected market volume of US$250.80 million by 2027. This surge in demand is fueling the expansion of Saudi Arabia’s content delivery network market, which is projected to reach US$413.4 million in revenue by 2030.
Salam is positioning itself as a key player in meeting this demand, offering innovative next-generation services such as broadband internet, network connectivity, cloud services, managed services, cybersecurity, and satellite communications. These services are aimed at various sectors, including government, businesses, carriers, and consumers.
Amjad Arab, Chief Wholesale and Partnerships Officer at Salam, highlighted the importance of the collaboration, stating, “This partnership with CDNetworks marks a transformative step towards empowering the people of Saudi Arabia with top-tier internet services.”
CDNetworks, known for its expertise in creating secure, efficient online environments, will help Salam deliver fast, secure, and reliable digital experiences to enterprises across the Kingdom. Antony Li, VP of CDNetworks, expressed excitement about the partnership, noting that their global expertise will be essential in meeting Saudi Arabia’s demand for low-latency, high-quality internet services.
Together, Salam and CDNetworks are set to drive digital transformation in Saudi Arabia, strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a hub for digital content consumption and production.
