Expenditures on Self-paced eLearning are often heavily concentrated in specific countries in a region. This report ranks the top buying countries and provides five-year forecasts for each of those countries. Additionally, over 200 domestic suppliers are called out in this report. This helps suppliers inside and outside domestic markets find partners, resellers, and potential acquisition targets.

For each region, revenues are forecast for five types of Self-paced eLearning products and services:

  • Packaged content
  • Custom content development services
  • Learning platform and tool hosting services
  • Authoring software and tools
  • Installed learning platforms

Key Findings:
Key findings discussed in this report include:

  • The global market is transitioning from a corporate story to an academic narrative
  • The sales of general academic education content will generate the highest revenues for content suppliers by 2015
  • The lingering effects of the recession are impacting buying behavior in different segments inside each country
  • Buying behavior is quite different in each region and expenditures tend to be concentrated in specific countries in each region
  • A country's educational policy (and not their adoption of technology) is often the primary factor driving (or blocking) the adoption of Self-paced eLearning.

The demand for a specific product type can be much higher (or lower) in a particular region. For example, the growth rate for specialized authoring software tools is negative in North America, yet positive in Asia and Eastern Europe. The dermand for installed learning platforms is flat in Western Europe compared to Eastern Europe where the growth rate is quite high.

The US Corporate Market for Self-paced eLearning Products and Services: 2010-2015 Forecast

Pockets of High Revenue Opportunities in a Slow Growth Market

Pricing:
An organizational site license (multiple sites and unlimited users) can be purchased for US$2,350.00.

NOTE: Individual tables with corresponding sections from this report are available as Revenues Snapshots.

Overview:

The US corporate market for Self-paced eLearning products and services reached $6.8 billion in 2010. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is essentially flat at 0.9% and revenues will reach $7.1 billion by 2015.

This overall flat growth rate is due to the lingering effects of the recession, commoditization, and pricing pressures. It masks the robust demand in specific verticals such as healthcare, which has a growth rate of 18.1%. Seven of the ten verticals analyzed in this report have growth rates above the aggregate 0.9%.

While no industry is immune from a recession, there are verticals that tend to be "recession-resilient" and some industries tend to recover faster or slower than others. All these trends are factored into the analysis in this report.

There are dozens of strong growth areas identified in this report. For example, although the overall growth rate for custom content development services is flat at 0.8%, the growth rate in the healthcare vertical is a breathtaking 45.1%. Clearly, there are significant revenue opportunities for informed suppliers.

This report analyzes the demand side by company size and by vertical-industry type. This identifies the best revenue opportunities from two perspectives. This report provides actionable data for suppliers that target specific verticals or specialize in particular product types.

This report analyzes expenditures by four company sizes: small, medium, large, and enterprise. The report also provides forecasts for ten vertical industries and a revenue breakout of ten content areas by subject matter (see Executive Overview).

Revenues for six types of online learning products are forecast in this report: IT-related packaged content, non-IT packaged content, custom content services, hosted platform services, software tools, and installed learning technology.

Available Now: The Worldwide Market for Digital English Language Learning Products and Services: 2011-2016 Forecast and Analysis

The Emergence of a Global Technology-based English Language Learning Ecosystem

Pricing:
An organizational site license (multiple sites and unlimited users) for the Standard Edition can be purchased for US$3,875.00.

An organizational site license for the Premium Edition can be purchased for US$8,150.00.

Overview:

The global market for digital English language learning products and services reached $1.31 billion in 2011. The worldwide five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 14.5% and revenues will reach $2.58 billion by 2016.

Ambient Insight has revised our international forecasts for digital English language learning significantly upward from previous forecasts.

The substantial growth in revenues for digital English language learning products over the forecast period is due to several convergent catalysts:

  • Consumer demand for digital language learning products
  • The recent explosion of Mobile Learning Value Added Services (VAS)
  • The digitization efforts in academic markets across the globe
  • Migration to digital formats by the major international publishers
  • Government-mandated English language learning initiatives in school systems
  • The shortage of English teachers in high-demand countries.

The international language industry an $82.6 billion market and language learning is a subset of that industry. Ambient Insight identifies the addressable market for learning suppliers and excludes non-learning language revenues such as localization, interpretation, and translation services.

The global language learning market (all languages combined) was $58.3 billion in 2011. The overall global language learning market is gradually shrinking due to the adoption of cost-efficient technology-based products and the migration away from classroom and print products.

At least 61.7% of the $58.3 billion global market, or $35.9 billion, is related to English language learning, making it the largest concentrated revenue opportunity in the international language learning market.

In terms of growth, the countries with the highest growth rates are Malaysia, China, Romania, Ukraine, Indonesia, Brazil, Poland, India, Georgia, and the Russian Federation. The growth rates in Malaysia, China, Romania, and Ukraine are all above 30%, more than twice the worldwide aggregate growth rate.

The emergence of a new Mobile Learning product type is now a major catalyst for language learning, particularly English. Subscription-based Mobile Learning content sold as a value-added service (VAS) is quite new on the market and essentially represents a new type of Mobile Learning product – a fusion of packaged content and services. Ambient Insight has labeled this new product type "Mobile Learning VAS".

This report provides extensive examples of competitors, products, and buying behavior to help suppliers understand the international market. Over 200 content suppliers operating in specific countries and regions are cited in this report to help international suppliers identify local partners, distributors, resellers, and potential merger and acquisition targets.
