(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Opportunities center on cloud disaster recovery, AI risk intelligence and real-time response, driven by cyberthreats, hybrid work, compliance needs and resilience testingDublin, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Business Continuity Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global business continuity market is experiencing strong growth as organizations invest in strategies and technologies that protect critical operations from cyberattacks, natural disasters, infrastructure failures and other disruptive events. The market is projected to increase from $52.76 billion in 2025 to $56.2 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
Historical market expansion has been supported by the increasing occurrence of natural disasters, rising cybersecurity threats, growth in enterprise IT infrastructure, regulatory compliance requirements and the expansion of global business operations. These factors have made business continuity planning an essential component of corporate governance, risk management and long-term operational strategy.
The business continuity market is forecast to reach $72.96 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2026. Growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by greater reliance on digital infrastructure, an increasing frequency of cyberattacks, wider adoption of cloud-based recovery solutions, demand for real-time risk monitoring and the continued expansion of remote and hybrid work environments.
Key business continuity market trends include a stronger focus on enterprise-wide risk assessments and business impact analysis, increased adoption of integrated continuity planning frameworks and rising demand for real-time incident response and recovery capabilities. Organizations are also prioritizing regulatory compliance, governance, resilience testing and simulation exercises to identify vulnerabilities before they result in operational disruption.
Growing demand for disaster recovery as a service is expected to remain a major market driver. Increasing ransomware activity and other cyber threats are encouraging organizations to adopt cloud-based recovery capabilities that support rapid data restoration, minimize downtime and maintain access to critical systems. Business continuity requirements are further accelerating adoption by increasing the need for resilient IT infrastructure, reliable recovery processes and uninterrupted operations.
Cybersecurity activity highlights the scale of the challenge. In 2023, America's Cyber Defense Agency issued more than 1,200 pre-ransomware alerts across healthcare, education, government and critical infrastructure. The agency also shared 294 notifications with 27 international partners to help mitigate ransomware threats at an early stage. These risks are increasing demand for proactive business continuity and disaster recovery strategies across public- and private-sector organizations.
Technology providers are responding with artificial intelligence-driven operational risk intelligence platforms that improve real-time visibility, identify vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience across complex application environments. In June 2025, International Business Machines Corporation introduced IBM Concert, an AI-powered solution designed to provide insights into operational health and risk throughout the application lifecycle. The platform aggregates information from source code repositories, operating environments and system components to identify vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, expiring certificates and software dependency risks. These capabilities can help organizations reduce potential disruptions, improve governance and strengthen business continuity strategies.
Merger and acquisition activity is also shaping the competitive landscape. In July 2024, Thoma Bravo acquired Everbridge Inc. for approximately $1.8 billion. The transaction was intended to support the expansion of Everbridge's critical event management and operational resilience capabilities, helping organizations improve business continuity planning and response as disruption risks increase.
