DATA BACKUP AND RECOVERY SOFTWARE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global data backup and recovery software market size was valued at USD 13.656 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 31.65 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 9.79% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Data Backup and Recovery Software Market size is projected at USD 4.3277 Billion in 2025, the Europe Data Backup and Recovery Software Market size is projected at USD 3.46735 Billion in 2025, and the China Data Backup and Recovery Software Market size is projected at USD 4.07233 Billion in 2025.

Data backup software is a program that makes a copy of your data so you can protect it and recover it if it gets lost, corrupted, or infected by virus. In the event of hard drive crashes, corrupted data, or unintentional deletion of crucial files, data recovery software offers access to restart programmers and protect digital property. The practice of making and keeping copies of data that can be used to safeguard organizations against data loss is referred to as backup and recovery. Further strengthening the industry is anticipated from new trends including the usage of big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Technology developments are also a major factor in the developed countries' market expansion.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

Businesses spend a lot of time and resources creating proprietary data and information. Gaining an edge in the market frequently requires having that expertise. Customers' dissatisfaction, lost revenue, and even insolvency may arise from data loss caused by threats or disasters; for instance, more than 90% of organizations without a disaster recovery plan that encounter a big disaster shut down within a year. When it comes to storing up data, backup software has several benefits that could help you save time and keep your competitive edge. Security is one of the most important aspects of data backup and recovery. As IT systems advance and link, the number of potential threats to a company's information increases.

• 2,321 ransomware incidents were recorded globally in Jan–Jun 2024, underlining why backup integrity is a top priority for organizations.

• government guidance now emphasizes the 3-2-1 rule (three copies, on two media, one off-site) plus offline, encrypted backups that are regularly tested — concrete technical guidance repeatedly recommended by CISA and NIST.

DATA BACKUP AND RECOVERY SOFTWARE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global data backup and recovery software market is classified as on-premises, cloud-based.

By Application

Based on application the global data backup and recovery software market is classified as enterprise, personal.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Utilization as a Catalyst to Boost the Market Growth

The demand for cloud-based services is constantly increasing across a wide range of businesses because they provide a few advantages, such as lower hosting costs, more capacity, lower labour and equipment expenses, improved collaboration, more efficient operations, and higher productivity. The demand for cloud backup and recovery software is also rising in MSEs since the cloud serves as an ideal alternative for MSEs that cannot afford to deploy backup and recovery systems internally.

• IDC/industry analyses show the global “datasphere” reaching on the order of ~160–175 zettabytes by 2025, creating vastly larger backup footprints to protect.

• Surveys report ~89% of organizations operate multi-cloud environments and over half of workloads now run in public cloud — driving demand for cloud-aware backup, cross-cloud recovery and SaaS backups.

Extensive Application in Laundering Process to Multiply the Production and Market Growth

Enterprises can sustain their application and infrastructure at a lesser cost than they would with on-premises solutions thanks to the utilisation of cloud backup and recovery. These technologies assist businesses in reserving and paying for the volume of data that they need and actively use. With the use of cloud backup & recovery services, businesses are reducing their operating and capital spending on IT infrastructure, which is anticipated to fuel growth of the worldwide cloud backup & recovery software market over the forecast period. Over the course of the forecast period, the global market for cloud backup & recovery software is anticipated to witness a rise in the usage of cloud backup & recovery solutions among small and medium-sized businesses.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market

Over the course of the projection period, it is also anticipated that an increase in the implementation of government requirements for data protection would provide several business possibilities in the worldwide cloud backup & recovery software market. For instance, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) established guidelines for the protection and privacy of patient information. The healthcare organization must make sure that all of its electronic data systems abide by HIPAA guidelines. The market's players now have prospects for growth thanks to this reason.

• Multi-cloud and app siloing grew (apps siloed on different clouds rose to ~57% in one industry survey), making centralized backup and recovery harder.

• 39% of IT decision-makers report needing to restore data from backups at least once a month, showing persistent reliability and process gaps that restrain deployment of new backup policies.
