Business Continuity Global Market Report 2026

Business continuity is a specialized service offered by organizations to help enterprises prepare for, manage, and sustain critical business operations during and after unexpected disruptions such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, equipment failures, or other crises, involving activities such as risk assessment, business impact analysis, continuity strategy development, planning, testing, and recovery procedures to ensure operational resilience and reduce downtime.

The essential components of business continuity include solutions, services, and platforms. Solutions refer to integrated platforms and tools that enable organizations to maintain operational resilience, disaster recovery, risk mitigation, and continuity of critical business functions through planning, monitoring, and automated response capabilities. The deployment modes include cloud-based, on-premises, and hybrid models, while organization size categories include startups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large enterprises. These are widely applied across areas such as business continuity planning, disaster recovery management, risk management and assessment, data backup and recovery, and incident management, and the primary end-user industries include banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), information technology and telecommunications, healthcare and life sciences, retail and e-commerce, and the manufacturing industry.

Tariffs are influencing the business continuity market by raising the cost of foundational information technology infrastructure, including servers, storage systems, and networking equipment required for disaster recovery and backup solutions, thereby increasing implementation and operational expenses. This effect is most apparent in on-premises and hybrid deployment models, particularly across regions such as Asia-Pacific and Europe that rely on imported technology infrastructure. As a result, organizations in industries such as Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), healthcare, retail, and manufacturing are encountering higher costs when implementing business continuity planning and disaster recovery systems, which may delay adoption. However, tariffs are also accelerating the shift toward cloud-based continuity platforms, increasing demand for managed and consulting services, and encouraging regional data infrastructure investments to enhance resilience, scalability, and cost efficiency in continuity planning.

The growing demand for disaster recovery as a service is expected to drive the growth of the business continuity market in the coming years. Disaster recovery as a service refers to a cloud-based solution that replicates and restores an organization's data, applications, and IT infrastructure to ensure rapid recovery and operational continuity following disruptions such as cyberattacks, system failures, or natural disasters. The rising demand for disaster recovery as a service is driven by the increasing prevalence of ransomware incidents and cyber threats, as organizations aim to enable rapid data restoration, minimize downtime, and maintain continuous operations. Business continuity requirements further strengthen the adoption of disaster recovery as a service by emphasizing the need for resilient IT infrastructure, uninterrupted operations, and efficient recovery mechanisms. For example, in 2023, according to America's Cyber Defense Agency, a US-based government department, more than 1,200 pre-ransomware alerts were issued across sectors, including healthcare, education, government, and critical infrastructure, along with 294 notifications shared with 27 international partners to mitigate early-stage ransomware threats. Therefore, the growing demand for disaster recovery as a service is driving the growth of the business continuity market.

For example, in June 2025, International Business Machines Corporation, a US-based technology company, introduced IBM Concert, an AI-powered solution designed to deliver comprehensive insights into operational health and risk across the application lifecycle. The platform aggregates data from source code repositories, operational environments, and system components to map application topology and identify risks related to vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, expiring certificates, and software dependencies. It enables organizations to proactively mitigate potential disruptions, strengthen governance frameworks, and enhance overall business continuity strategies.
