The backup and recovery market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.8% during 2023–2031. Shift toward software-defined and cloud-native backup solutions and increased focus on data immutability and air-gapped backups are likely to remain key trends in the market.

Backup and Recovery Market Analysis

• In the world of backup and recovery, we see rapid, accelerating cloud-based and hybrid approaches. Sophisticated, automated protection solutions with built-in features for unified support across diverse IT infrastructures are gaining greater traction.
• Increased emphasis is being placed on protection against cyberattacks – including ransomware – as well as on backing up data that can support compliance requirements and lead to business continuity. More powerful, scalable solutions are being adopted to answer these requirements.
• The use of AI and machine learning is also set to increase to help expand predictive capabilities and/or automate the recovery process. Based on business size and needs, Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) are now dominating the market.

Backup and Recovery Market Overview

• The market for backup and recovery solutions is constantly growing as a result of large increasing data volumes, cyber threats, and legal requirements. It’s also a market where mature companies co-exist with innovative newcomers, selling a variety of solutions from archaic on-premise ones to cloud-based offerings and experiencing a substantial shift towards software-defined, cloud-native solutions and as-a-service models.
• The market is segmented into software, hardware, and services. The cloud backup solutions segment is the most dynamic one. The largest market share is held by North America, but the growth is the fastest in Asia-Pacific as digital transformation initiatives unfold. The market is a highly competitive one, where companies continuously innovate in areas such as artificial intelligence-driven automation and data analytics.

Backup and Recovery Market Drivers and Opportunities

Data Growth and Proliferation to Favor the Market

• With the huge amounts of data being created, the backup and recovery market is seeing a lot of growth as more enterprises realize they need stronger, broader, faster, and more reliable ways to protect their exponentially growing amounts of data from all kinds of devices (IoT), social media posts, digital transactions, multimedia and more.
• More backups mean more data to protect, store, and recover in the event of a disaster when companies need all their data, or a part of it, as fast as possible to keep the business running. The more important data becomes as a strategic asset, the more enterprises are willing to invest in its protection using backup and recovery systems. This is largely getting a boost from the use of big data analytics and AI applications that require access to historical data to train their algorithms.
• Enterprises need to have these historical data in a reliable backup and recovery system so they don’t lose their comparative advantage, or suffer operational disruptions.

Cloud-Based Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions

• New products are emerging from a shift to cloud-based solutions for backup and disaster recovery, where the market is seeing opportunities for scalable, cost-effective, and highly flexible alternatives to traditional on-premises approaches.
• Cloud-based products enable organizations to store and protect data off-site, which is highly effective in avoiding local disasters and hardware failures as the primary cause of data loss. Cloud-based solutions also promise faster recovery times, easier scalability options to cope with the growing demand for storage space, and reduced capital expenditure related to hardware and infrastructure.
• In addition, the solutions create new means for vendors to offer add-on value and value-added services such as automated backups, instant failover, and protection against physical disasters by spreading data across geographically dispersed data centers.
• As companies are increasingly relying on a variety of cloud services while switching to hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, there is an increase in the demand for new solutions that are ‘cloud-native’ – enabling easy integration with different kinds of cloud services and thus creating new revenue streams for service providers and technology vendors operating in the backup and recovery space.
