As per Trefis estimates, the coronavirus pandemic could indeed aid Akamais (NASDAQ: AKAM) revenue growth across both its segments. The companys revenue comprises of two segments i.e. Web Division and Media & Carrier Division. Akamais revenue has risen from $2.5 billion in 2017 to $2.9 billion in 2019, up by more than 15% in 2 years. The Web Division has seen higher growth over this period due to the companys incremental adoption of cloud security solutions. In Q1 2020, Akamais revenue was recorded at $764 million, up by 8% y-o-y. Further, we believe that despite the economic slowdown, the lockdown situation calls for an increasing need for web servers, and cloud security solutions, as online activity has seen a surge over the past couple of months, and this could help Akamai maintain its revenue growth over the next 2 years. For the year 2020, Trefis estimates total revenue growth to come in at almost 6%.

We expect Akamais revenue to grow from $2.9 billion in 2019 to $3.2 billion in 2021 as detailed in our interactive dashboard, Akamai Revenues: How Does AKAM Make Money?
