ONLINE LEARNING FOR WOMEN
The role of women in the global EdTech market has been increasingly significant, and their participation as learners and professionals has driven market growth and innovation. According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) data, women have historically faced significant barriers in accessing education and skills development opportunities, particularly in developing regions. EdTech is emerging as a powerful tool to address these disparities, providing women with more equitable access to quality learning experiences. As learners, women embrace EdTech platforms to pursue education and upskilling opportunities.
Women are generally underrepresented in the global technology sector, including EdTech. According to UNESCO's report, "Cracking the Code: Girls' and Women's Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)," highlights that only 35% of STEM students in higher education worldwide are women. EdTech offers the flexibility and convenience that can be particularly beneficial to women juggling multiple responsibilities, including work, caregiving, and household duties. Furthermore, EdTech can potentially be transformative in promoting gender equality in education and workforce development.
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, gender parity in education and skills development could contribute to closing the gender gap in the workplace and boost global GDP by USD 5.3 trillion by 2025.
EdTech's capacity to deliver accessible and inclusive learning experiences can empower women to pursue careers in traditionally male-dominated industries such as STEM and leadership roles. In addition to being learners, women are also making significant contributions as professionals in the EdTech (education technology) market. The representation of women in technology and design roles has been growing steadily, contributing to the creation of more inclusive and user-friendly EdTech solutions. Female entrepreneurs and educators are leveraging EdTech platforms to create and deliver courses, webinars, and training programs, establishing themselves as thought leaders and content creators in the education space.
MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS
Growth in Gamification
The application of game mechanics to collaborate, compete, and reward in non-game situations has started gaining popularity in educational services. This practice has been gaining popularity worldwide for enhancing learners' engagement across different education levels, including formal education and other training courses. Game-based learning is an effective mode of learning. The concept of gamification is based on teaching through repetition and forming a foundation based on simulation learning. The concept of gamified learning is expected to gain traction in the K-12 and higher education segment as it can address issues such as lack of understanding and quick learning associated with higher education and provide an innovative platform to engage more end users.
Rise in Demand for Online and Remote Learning
The rise in demand for online and remote learning is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the global EdTech market. This trend has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced educational institutions worldwide to shift to online and remote learning. The demand for online learning platforms has surged after the pandemic. For instance, Forbes said more than 10 million college students took at least one distance education class in the fall of 2022. Slightly less than half of those students took all their courses online. Most of these online learners are undergraduates attending four-year public institutions. Popular online learning platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, and edX have seen a significant increase in enrollment numbers during the pandemic, as people were focused on upskilling and reskilling in the face of a changing job market.
INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS
Data Security Concerns
EdTech platforms can store colossal amounts of data related to instructors, learners, and other customers, which includes personal information and other personal data. EdTech market vendors hold sensitive information, including intellectual property, employee data, and other confidential data, and are at risk of being cyberattacked. Thus, vendors must hire third-party providers to take measures to protect personal and confidential information from unauthorized access and misuse. Such data is prone to cyberattacks by hackers, criminal groups, and other sponsored organizations. Also, cyberattacks would lead to delays or interruptions in services, which could also defame the reputation of vendors in the market. Players in the market are more susceptible to cyberattacks as third-party sources may not fully implement preventive measures. Furthermore, some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data. Such mandatory disclosures could lead to negative publicity among consumers.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The global EdTech market is highly competitive and characterized by various companies and solutions aiming to revolutionize the education sector using the latest technologies. Several established players and start-ups are vying to capture a greater EdTech market share and cater to the evolving needs of learners and educators.
Learning Management Systems (LMS) providers such as Canvas by Instructure, Moodle, Blackboard, and Schoology dominate the market and offer comprehensive course creation, content management, assessments, and analytics platforms. These LMS platforms cater to academic institutions and corporate training requirements and provide a centralized hub for managing educational content and tracking learner progress.
