The escalating need for data storage is presumed to impel the expansion of the database, storage, and backup software publishing market in the future. Storing data involves documenting and securing digital data on a physical platform. Database software, on the other hand, aids in organizing and handling substantial amounts of data. It offers a method to store data in an orderly and accessible format, therefore, simplifying the process of locating and accessing particular information. Backup software aids in the formation and preservation of data duplicates to counter data loss or corruption. For example, as per the Korea Data Center Council (KDCC), the cumulative capacity of IT load at colocation data centers came to 430 MW at 2020's end, constituting 11% of the total IT load in APAC (Asia-Pacific). By 2029, it is anticipated that South Korea's data center market will achieve 2,000 MW in IT load capacity, 5 million sq. ft in raised floor area, and 270,000 racks, with the majority of these racks being situated in Greater Seoul. Hence, the increasing need for data storage is facilitating the expansion of the database, storage, and backup software publishing market.
