Cloud Back-Up Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast Segmented by Component (Solution and Services), By Deployment Mode (Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud), By End-user Industry (BFSI, IT & Telecom, Media & Entertainment, Retail, and Healthcare), By Region, By Competition 2018-2028

Market Overview

Global Cloud Back-Up Market has valued at USD 4.13 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to project robust growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 10.37% through 2028. Data loss is becoming a significant concern across all industries. In one recent survey, around 33% blamed hardware or system failure for data loss, while 29% reported that their companies lost data due to human error or ransomware. It is estimated that up to 93% of organizations that lose servers for 10 days or more during a disaster filed for bankruptcy within the next 12 months, with 43% never reopening. Another industrial survey of the US and Canadian IT professionals using cloud-based data protection services found that while 74% of respondents rely only on the native Microsoft 365 services for backup, only 15% could recover 100% of their data. In recent years, cloud adoption has significantly grown, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated digital technologies adoption globally, has further fueled the trend. According to an IBM analysis, a single manufacturing site may generate more than 2,200 terabytes of data in a month. A single production line can generate more than 70 terabytes per day yet the vast majority of data remains unanalyzed and unprotected. Therefore, companies are moving to cloud storage to secure and utilize this data.

Key Market Drivers

Furthermore, IBM revealed that 90% of the data was created in the previous two years. Because of the large amount of data generated, there is a rising demand for low-cost data backup/storage across companies. Automated backup, Malware protection, Encrypted cloud storage, File-level Recovery, and Point-in-time Restore, among others, are some trending services in the market.

Key players in the market are increasing investments in cloud technologies. For Instance, Veeam Software has partnered with Microsoft Azure to provide New Veeam Backup, an enterprise-ready cloud backup and recovery solution for Microsoft Azure. The new product will help customers and service providers to migrate more apps and data to Azure and to cost-effectively, securely, and easily protect cloud applications and data in Azure.

Strengthening The Global Cloud Backup Market Growth Is The Availability Of Cloud Backup For Virtual Machines

Cloud backup, also known as online backup, helps send a copy of a file to a secondary, off-site location for preservation in case of hardware/software failures or unforeseen disasters. The secondary server is usually hosted by a third-party service provider that charges the user a fee depending on the data transmission bandwidth, storage space or capacity used, and the number of times the data has been accessed. Cloud backup supports the data protection of an enterprise without increasing the workload of the information technology (IT) staff. Consequently, it is used by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), as well as larger enterprises around the world. One of the major trends strengthening the global cloud backup market growth is the availability of cloud backup for virtual machines, which has become an integral part of the information technology (IT) infrastructure. Many enterprises are focusing on achieving virtualization as it offers several benefits, such as better utilization of system resources. Apart from this, the demand for cloud backup is escalating due to lower costs, greater efficiency than on-premises backup and a significant increase in the volume of data generated across various industries. Furthermore, the application of cloud backup is expanding on account of the growing adoption of software as a service (SaaS) model and the emergence of new technologies, such as big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Besides this, the rising utilization of mobile devices is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the leading players in the upcoming years.

Key Market Challenges

Problems regarding storage management and securing backups to impede the market pace

Several organizations leave their database backup unencrypted, this is mainly due to the complexity of the procedure, which may corrupt the data and create a need for additional software licenses. Furthermore, increasing number of backups causes more challenges for storage management needing deeper understanding of databases backup needs. This further creates issues in storage management. Hence, these factors are expected to restrain growth of the global cloud backup & recovery software market.  However, with increasing technological development, market players are focusing on offering solutions that overcome these issues, and this in turn is expected to support growth of the market.

Slow reaction time in data retrieval and interruptions are to hinder the market growth

Latency in data transfer during the retrieval from the public cloud infrastructure, and prevalence of interruptions after the data is retrieved and transmitted to the location of end-user, creates hesitance among consumers towards the adoption of cloud backup & recovery software. In the data exchange between cloud services across the internet, latency can be significantly high. Such delays can lead to higher costs for users of multiple cloud services. This in turn is expected to restrain growth of the global cloud backup & recovery software market over the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

Emergence Of Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) Among Others Is A Recent Trend

Various trends such as on-demand cloud providers, infrastructure as a service (IaaS), demand for big data and social networking, growing adoption of smart device and tablets, among others are increasing in the global cloud backup & recovery software market. These factors are leading to generation of huge amount of data, which in turn creates a need for backup and recovery system. Thus, this in turn drives the demand for cloud backup & recovery software, which is boosting growth of the market.

Rise in adoption of cloud backup & recovery solutions among small and medium enterprises is expected to create several growth opportunities in the global cloud backup & recovery software market over the forecast period. As per the Salesforce website, the cost of data recovery for SMEs can be US$ 10,000 excluding the cost of man hours and downtime needed for recovering the data. Thus, getting the data back without backup and recovery solution for SMEs becomes difficult for and this further results into rise in adoption of cloud backup & recovery solutions. This in turn creates various opportunities in the global cloud backup & recovery software market.

Moreover, increase in implementation government regulations for data security is also expected to provide several business opportunities in the global cloud backup & recovery software market over the forecast period. For instance, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability act (HIPAA), founded standards for the privacy and security of healthcare-related data. The healthcare organization have to ensure that the electronic data systems in their organization adhere to the HIPAA regulations. This factor is creating growth opportunities for the players in the market.
