Market Growth Factors
Artificial intelligence and machine learning drive growth in the online education market in the UK. Machine learning algorithms can analyze large amounts of data collected on learners then alter course content, pace, and complexity so they suit the individual learner better, improving learning outcomes. NLP & ML-powered quiz, tutorial, and simulation generation for AI content creation saves teachers’ time. This eases adaptive learning and improves comprehension and knowledge retention, contributing to the growth of the global market.
In addition, ever-increasing smartphone and laptop penetration rates among learners allow them to access educational content anywhere and at any time. According to a 2023 report by the Government of UK, 91% of adults in England owned a smartphone and 62% owned a laptop. This can help learners to access learning at times that suit, and to fit learning into busy schedules, such as those of working adults and continuing learners.
Rising EdTech tool usage and corporate learning and development programs also fuel the market growth. EdTech tools interact and collaborate and portable devices support them, which gives a new approach to learning. Further, as corporations increasingly stress workforce development, investments in e-learning platforms will likely increase, thereby driving the market.
