Anand Rathi Advisors believe that the future of the Education Industry will be determined by consolidation, to compete more effectively.
Anand Rathi Advisors Limited (ARAL), one of India’s premier investment consultants, came up with a comprehensive report that gives an overview on the Global Education market.
The report largely covers a detailed insight of the Education and Edtech markets, examined funding trends, and discussed key education policies for 30 countries across the globe. The professionals have analysed and created brief profiles on more than 2,000 companies in this sector covering various Schools, Universities and Edtech players across the globe.
Key highlights of the research findings –
- Smartphone User Surge: The report anticipates a surge of 200 million new smartphone users in the next two years, reaching a cumulative total of 7.5 billion smartphone users by 2025. China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Pakistan are expected to contribute significantly to this increase.
- Investment Influx: Over the past five years, the Global EdTech sector has witnessed a remarkable influx of investments, totaling $52 billion. This marks a substantial portion of the $84 billion invested in the sector over the last two decades, indicating a growing interest from investors.
- Up-skilling and Re-skilling Boom: With the aging population and muted growth in young demographics in regions like North America and Europe, the Up-skilling and Re-skilling segment is poised for accelerated growth. The demand for skilled resources and the implementation of continuous learning by employers worldwide are significant drivers.
- Foreign Universities in India: Since January 2023, the University Grants Commission has permitted foreign universities to establish campuses in India, opening up new avenues for international collaboration in the education sector.
- Geopolitical Impact: The Russia-Ukraine conflict has significantly affected international students, with approximately 400,000 students studying in these countries. This geopolitical event has reshaped global education dynamics.
