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.

Global Cloud Backup & Recovery Software 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.

Growing adoption in BFSI sector is an emerging trend

The adoption of digital backing and investment solutions is rapidly increasing in the backing industry. Due to this, the demand for cloud computing in the BFSI industry is rising, as these solutions offer better business agility and scalability to the companies in the industry. Many financial service organizations are shifting to cloud solutions for delivering innovation, security, and customization so to have a competitive edge in the market. This in turn is creating demand for cloud backup & recovery software in BFSI sector, leading to growing adoption of the solutions. This trend is likely to continue in the market over the forecast period.

Global Cloud Backup & Recovery Software Market Restraints:

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.
