The data backup and recovery market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The rapid expansion of the data backup and recovery market has been evident in recent years, and it's projected to scale from $14.95 billion in 2024 to $16.66 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%.
Factors such as the surge in data volume, the emergence of virtualization, heightened emphasis on disaster recovery, and data security concerns account for the growth witnessed in the historic period.
The data backup and recovery market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of data backup and recovery is predicted to witness robust expansion in the coming years. By 2029, it's poised to reach a market worth of $29.31 billion, with an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%.
Challenges like ransomware mitigation, regulatory compliance, and continuous data protection are some factors driving this growth during the forecast period. Key future trends encompass a focus on cybersecurity in backup plans, early digitalization, the amalgamation of AI and machine learning in backup procedures, and the employment of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) for backup.
The data backup and recovery market is poised for expansion, largely due to the growing adoption of cloud data backup. Backing up data in the cloud involves creating a replica of physical or virtual files, databases, or additional data in a remote area for safeguarding against equipment malfunctions or sudden mishaps. The advantage of such cloud-based data storage lies in its accessibility from anywhere, anytime, besides ensuring the data's security and easy recovery. For example, Gartner, a reputed management consulting firm from the US, estimated in February 2022 that by 2025, 51% of corporate IT expenditure in key sectors would migrate to the cloud, exceeding traditional IT investment. Moreover, worldwide expenditure on public cloud services is predicted to escalate from $491 billion in 2022 to $597.3 billion in 2023, thereby affirming that the surge in cloud data backup adoption propels the growth of the data backup and recovery market.
