KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global adaptive learning software market size was valued at USD 1.61 billion in 2019 and exhibiting a CAGR of 22.1% during the forecast period. The market is projected to reach USD 7.94 billion by 2027 and further expand to USD 17.64 billion by 2031.


The cutting-edge technologies comprising artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and adaptive learning are changing the dynamics of the digital education industry. The advent of ubiquitous computing has urged education systems to leverage adaptive techniques in both instructional and assessment programs. Adaptive learning assures outcome-driven and cost-effective approaches that make tailored training material straightforward and easy for learners. Therefore, education and corporate institutes are embedding adaptive learning tools into their online training modules. For instance, in August 2020, ConveGenius, an EdTech, acquired Gray Matters India to amplify its adaptive learning platform. This acquisition would allow ConveGenius to integrate its automated learning capabilities with GMI’s measurement science. This would further reinforce their ‘EdTech for Naya Bharat’ project that aims to empower over 100 million students.


COVID-19 Impact


Temporary Closure of Institutes to Spur Demand for E-Learning Software


The COVID-19 pandemic has created a huge disruption in education as well as corporate sectors. The temporary closure of schools, universities, and institutes has greatly impacted learners, educators, and skill development establishments. Although, some countries have started planning to reopen education institutes based on grade levels; continued virulence of the virus may again lead to the closure of institutes. These decisions may carry enormous economic and social implications and are expected to have lasting effects on learners and educators.


During this time, e-learning platforms such as adaptive learning platforms are likely to become a priority for the continuation of learning. In the corporate world too, up-skilling has become extremely critical for professionals to prolong their careers in the present scenario. The imminent economic downturn has forced companies to cut non-core jobs. The only two ways for professionals to future proof their career are to be skilled in areas that are probable to see continual growth or to be more capable and qualified than the peer group. Adaptive learning software is expected to play a crucial role in this situation owing to its benefits such as one-to-one instructions, greater time efficiency, confidence-based approach, the capability to create individualized learning paths, and personalized learning for a heterogeneous group.


Albeit, the slowdown in world economic growth has disrupted the adaptive learning industry to some extent, the growing e-learning trend is expected to show optimistic growth post-pandemic. Although adaptive learning is on its long way to become the standard for academic and corporate learning, it is expected to revolutionize the entire education and corporate sector in the near future.


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Trend for Self-Directed Learning to Propel Market Growth


In the self-directed learning (SDL) approach, the learner takes the responsibility of learning at their own pace and time with or without the assistance of mentors. This approach enables learners to assess, control, and manage their learning activities. Adaptive learning software is one of the tools used in this approach that creates data about the learners while they are taking training modules or e-learning courses. In the traditional approach, it is difficult to track the performance of every student. With the help of these platforms, students’ performance can be tracked online and modified to their learning experience. It not only assists in understanding individuals’ performance and needs but also indicates improvement and predicts the learners’ future performance. Thus, a growing inclination towards self-directed learning is expected to drive the growth of the market.


DRIVING FACTORS


Need for Advanced and Innovative E-learning Software to Boost Market Growth


The rising need for advanced and innovative solutions to improve the students’ pass rate, score, and retention level has led to the emergence of advanced digital learning software. An adaptive learning tool uses a range of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), among others, and static layouts to display content on a screen. These technologies enhance the capabilities of the software and make it more enjoyable for learners. It enables students to learn things more easily and understandably. AR and VR technology helps in understanding difficult science concepts easily, thereby generating interest in learning. It helps in modernizing and enriching content, thereby making information more efficient and intuitive. Thus, adaptive learning is expected to completely innovate the way education is approached, and bring a spark back into the classroom.


Growing Preference for Game-Based Learning Software to Augment Market Growth


Nowadays, organizations are striving to improve their training approaches by creating game-based learning to engage and empower learners. Gamification has the potential to improve retention rates and enhance the application of the subject matter at work. It is considered an excellent application in training and education to improve retention and performance as well as creates long-term adherence to the task at hand. Therefore, companies are looking forward to implementing game-based solutions such as adaptive learning software which can add value to organization-wide learning.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Complexities Associated with the Software to Impede the Market Growth


The design and development of adaptive learning platforms need to be done very accurately because creating tests, and adaptivity content is a complex task. Full personalization and endless adaptivity are difficult to achieve, whereas, limited adaptivity may lead to insecurity among learners. Also, complexity in supporting various learning styles such as visual and audio can be time-consuming and difficult. The cost associated with the purchase of software and training trainers is quite high. These factors may hamper the growth opportunities of the market.


SEGMENTATION


By Deployment Analysis


Low Cost and Minimal IT Dependency to Fuel Demand for Cloud-Based Software


On the basis of deployment, the market for adaptive learning software has been categorized into on-premise and cloud.


The cloud segment is expected to observe the highest CAGR during the forecast period as it requires minimal efforts to set up cloud-based software. It provides better flexibility and customization at a low cost. Organizations that adopt cloud software only need to pay for the services that they use.


The on-premise segment holds the highest market share owing to security concerns. Security is considered a major selling point of on premise platforms as the data is stored on in-house infrastructure. It does not require third party ownership to manage and maintain the infrastructure.


By End User Analysis
