Disaster Recovery as a service (DRaaS) Global Market Report 2024

The disaster recovery as a service (draas) market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $9.6 billion in 2023 to $12.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.4%. The expansion witnessed in the historical period can be attributed to a heightened reliance on data, escalating scalability requirements, a surge in data vulnerabilities, the intricate nature of IT infrastructure, and an upswing in cyber threats.

The disaster recovery as a service (draas) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.48 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.6%. The projected growth is fueled by AI and machine learning integration, continuous data protection (CDP), edge computing resilience, ransomware mitigation, multi-cloud adoption, and interoperability. Major trends include cost optimization, scalability, resilience against disasters, automation, real-time recovery, and the shift to remote work.

The surge in demand for safeguarding both public and private data is fueling the expansion of the Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) market. With a staggering 2.5 quintillion bytes of data generated daily, unplanned system downtime emerges as a significant contributor to data loss, leading to the shutdown of various companies. The potential losses and damages resulting from system downtimes are substantial, necessitating the provision of backup services. These services play a crucial role in assuring companies against unforeseen disasters, consequently propelling the growth of the DRaaS market. For instance, as per a study by invenio IT, fewer than 10% of companies survive a disaster without a comprehensive recovery plan. This statistic includes not only small market players but also major corporations such as FedEx and Nissan, underscoring the universal need for backup services.

The escalating threats posed by cyber-attacks are anticipated to drive the future growth of the Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) market. A cyber-attack encompasses any attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer, computing system, or network with the intent of causing harm. DRaaS serves as a crucial mitigating factor against cyber threats by facilitating data recovery from secure offsite backups and ensuring swift, automated system failover to maintain business operations with minimal downtime. For example, in June 2022, the Anti-Phishing Working Group, a US-based organization, reported a total of 1,025,968 phishing attacks in the first quarter of the same year. This marked a 15% increase from the fourth quarter of 2021, when 888,585 attacks were recorded. Consequently, the rising risks associated with cyber-attacks are steering the growth trajectory of the Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) market.

Companies have embraced the integration of AI and Machine Learning into their Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions to proactively identify and address potential risks due to the increasing prevalence of cyber threats. Predictive learning algorithms are being developed to discern between genuine and false disaster recovery scenarios. These algorithms have the capability to autonomously execute proactive recovery measures, preventing outages before they become apparent. For instance, Unitrends, a US-based company, incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) in its services, actively running during every backup operation to detect backups affected by ransomware. Upon identifying data threats, the company promptly notifies stakeholders, leveraging AI and advanced technologies to enhance data security.
