Data Backup and Recovery Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

Data Backup and Recovery is described for the process of creating and storing copies of data that can be used to protect organizations against data loss. This can also be referred to as operational recovery. Recovery from a backup involves restoring the data to the original location, or to an alternate location where it can be used in place of the lost or damaged data. A proper backup copy is stored in a separate system or medium, such as tape, from the primary data to protect against the possibility of data loss due to primary hardware or software failure. The function of the backup is to create a copy of data that can be recovered in an event caused primary data failure. Primary data failures can happen because of reasons like hardware or software failure, data corruption, or a human-caused event, such as a malicious attack (virus or malware), or accidental deletion of data. Backup copies enable data to be recovered in time hence helping businesses from potential data loss that can be a disaster for any organization.

The Data Backup and Recovery Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 11% owing to a large amount of data generation, increasing risks of security breaches, and fast pace digitization happening globally. A major reason for this growth is that data backup is a cost-effective method for companies to secure important data. It works with pre-installed systems and doesn't require any additional systems. This whole process uses advanced technologies without imposing any extra expenses. Businesses invest a very large amount of time and effort in developing proprietary data and information. That data is often the key to gaining a competitive advantage in the market. Data loss as a result of threats or disasters can result in unhappy consumers, lost income, and even bankruptcy within 6 months of data loss. For instance, According to National Archives & Records Administration in Washington DC, more than 93% of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster, and 50% filed for bankruptcy immediately as a result Various organizations are now widely adopting data backup and recovery services which increases demand and is expected to drive revenue growth in the market during the forecast period.

Based on components, the market is bifurcated into software and services. Among both, the service segment also known as a backup as a service(BaaS) held a significant market share in 2021. And the major reason for this dominant market share is the convenience offered by BaaS solutions, BaaS Is automated information is saved automatically and one doesn't have to track it; safety Because when the data is stored in the BaaS, data are not exposed to the typical threats of hackers, natural disasters, and user error, affordability BaaS are less expensive than the cost of tape drives, servers, or other hardware and software elements necessary to perform backup; the media on which the backups are stored; the transportation of media to a remote location for safekeeping; and the IT labor required to manage and troubleshoot backup systems. For instance, imperial college NHS trust expects to save 30% in storage costs by moving its backup and archive data to the Wasabi cloud

Based on deployment, the market is segmented into cloud, hybrid, and local. The cloud deployment segment is going to grow at the fastest pace because of the reasons such as faster and simplified deployment, cost saving, a platform for growth, agility, scalability, geographic reach, etc are some of the reasons. For instance, In 2011, the cloud expenditure of an average company was roughly USD 6,500. In 2020, this number has risen to USD 10,000-per month. This is, in fact, a conservative estimate, as 33 percent of organizations had an annual cloud budget spanning between USD 2.4 million and USD 12 million

Based on the end user industry, the market is segmented into banking, financial services, manufacturing, IT & telecommunication, media and entertainment, and others. Among these, the banking and financial services segment is the largest contributor to the revenues of service providers of data backup and recovery owing to the reasons like large data pool that the BFSI segments have generated that are critical for their business operations as well as the susceptibility of cyber threats that the data of banking and financial services industry faces. For instance, according to export data of the Indian IT (information technology) services sector In terms of industry-wise revenue break up, out of the total USD 149.1 billion in exports of the IT-BPM sector in 2020-21, Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) contributed USD 61.4 billion, accounting for over 41 percent of the exports

For a better understanding of the market adoption of data backup and recovery, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. North America holds the largest market share among all the regions. North American corporations use data recovery software widely across their varied operations. For instance, The Federal Financial Institutions Examinations Council of the United States imposed new cyber security standards in 2015, in which banking institutions are required to have DRPs (Data Recovery Policies) and BCP (Business Continuity Plans) in place to shield from large losses after a disaster or data breach. As financial organizations, such as banks, depends on electronic data regularly, a well-thought disaster recovery plan is needed to assist them to safeguard critical information and return to normal operations.

Some of the major players operating in the market include: Commvault; NetApp; NinjaOne; Ontech systems, Inc.; Aureon; Datto, Inc.; Dell, Inc.; Amazon web services, Inc.; Nexstor ltd; and Veritas
