Global Hybrid Learning Tools Market - 2021-2028

Global Hybrid Learning Tools Market - 2021-2028

Market Overview

The global hybrid learning tools market size was worth US$ XX million in 2020 and is estimated to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of XX% within the forecast period (2021-2028).

Hybrid learning, also known as blended learning, is an educational technique that mixes online instructional materials with traditional in-person classroom methods. Hybrid learning is neither entirely virtual nor entirely digital. Both the teacher and the learner are physically present and the learner has some control over time and speed.

In a hybrid learning approach, the virtual aspects complement the in-person ones. Hybrid does not mean an in-person lecture followed by hours of digital homework. Hybrid learning allows for a unique reimagining of how we do corporate training and education. Jamboard, Padlet, Diigo, Hypothesis Wakelet and Sli.do are some of the student engagement tools for hybrid learning available in the market.

Market Dynamics

The increasing adoption of hybrid learning tools by the corporate sector is boosting the market share for the product in recent times. Increasing adoption of offline and online learning systems for students and working professionals is expected to drive the hybrid learning tools market during the forecast period.

The increasing adoption of hybrid learning tools by the corporate sector is boosting the market share for the product in recent times.

Many industrial and service-based multinational corporations (MNCs) are growing their operations in developing countries like China and India. The rise of the corporate sector in these countries has resulted in enormous job possibilities in business process management, healthcare and other fields.

Vendors increasingly offer customized hybrid training solutions, such as gamification, microlearning and social learning. In addition to traditional classroom-based face-to-face training, capitalize on the expanding opportunity in emerging countries. Thus the growing inclination of MNCs towards adopting hybrid training tools is more likely to accelerate the market share in the forecast period.

Furthermore, hybrid learning tools have benefited corporate training in various ways, removing constraints such as high training costs, barriers to continuing access to learning and logistical issues with arranging trainer-led sessions. It is often recognized that when a company utilizes both online and offline channels, it performs remarkably well.

In addition, hybrid learning tools in corporate training allow a company to maintain control over the quality of training provided to its staff, resulting in increased productivity and leading to market growth for the technology in the forecast period.

The world is continually changing and many areas are affected by this change. Even in the field of education, there are no exceptions. The evolution of digital learning platforms has significantly impacted educational institutions and traditional approaches have been pushed to the background.

However, both technology and conventional learning approaches are in demand. As a result, it leads to the arrival of new technology- hybrid learning, which involves a blend of digital learning tools with the more traditional face-to-face classroom. The demand for hybrid learning tools further accelerated during the COVID-19 period due to increasing demand for online learning platforms across the globe and teacher assistance.

For instance, According to Babson Survey Research Group 2016 data, roughly 5 million college students take at least one online course. Furthermore, according to Evergreen Education Group, 5% of K-12 students attend online or blended courses and 75% of school districts provide some form of online or blended learning.

The current state of education in 2020 has opened the door to a new group of people who had not before considered MOOCs (Massive open online course). According to blended learning statistics, a rush of new visitors flooded MOOC providers' websites in 2020, causing the plateau they were experiencing in 2018/19 to vanish quickly. For example, the number of visitors to Class Central increased by 15 million, more than double the previous year.

Lack of IT infrastructure in the education sector severely challenges the market growth for hybrid learning tools in recent times.

Despite various advantages offered by hybrid learning tools, inefficient IT infrastructure remained the hurdle for the market's growth in the forecast period. Poor quality, faulty and out-of-date ICT equipment are the main reasons teachers do not use technology in schools.

There are some issues with the use of IT infrastructure in higher education in underdeveloped nations. Lack of a comprehensive approach to IT implementation, a lack of awareness of how to utilize IT, a leader's lack of commitment and interest in implementing IT, a lack of technical support for IT implementation, poorly focused staff development, a lack of ownership and insufficient funds are among some of the factors contributing to the inefficient IT infrastructure in the recent times.

Thus the struggling IT infrastructure in the education sector is responsible for hurdling the growth of the hybrid learning tools market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 has increased the demand for more modern education systems in schools, colleges and the corporate sector to provide distance learning and e-learning platforms during lockdowns. Furthermore, as the threat of COVID-19 grows, hybrid learning systems to handle all e-learning content and course training activities are expected to become more popular in the forecast period.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic put pressure on already strained education IT budgets for schools and universities nationwide in many areas. Because of the sudden change to distance learning, educational institutions have been scrambling to provide students and faculty with the devices and online resources they need to participate in virtual learning. Millions of pupils' educations were pushed back due to the pandemic's disruption of learning.

The pandemic caused the most severe educational disruption in history, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Thus, insufficient technical knowledge and IT infrastructure have negatively affected the hybrid learning tools during COVID-19.

Segment Analysis

The global hybrid learning tools market is bifurcated based on type, end-user and region.

The growing popularity of online learning and digitalization has accelerated the market share for hybrid learning tools in recent times.

The global hybrid learning tools market based on end-user is segmented into education institutes, corporate training, public education and others. Out of the mentioned applications, educational institutes are likely to show unprecedented market share in the forecast period, predominantly due to the increasing popularity of hybrid learning tools during 2019-2020.

Growing digitalization leads to the adoption of various e-learning practices across the globe and the outbreak of COVID-19 has further accelerated the demand for online learning platforms, creating immense opportunities for hybrid learning tools in the forecast period. Furthermore, hybrid learning is time-saving, less expensive, effectively engages learners and is a flexible and creative way to guide learners compared to traditional learning practices.

Geographical Analysis

Growing digital learning platforms and increasing investments in educational learning solutions have uplifted the market share for hybrid learning tools in the North American region.

North America holds a prominent share of the hybrid learning market due to the increasing adoption of e-learning platforms and hybrid learning systems for better educational results and convenience in the region. Furthermore, due to increased technical investment in educational solutions and products by major companies to provide advanced solutions during the COVID-19 era throughout the regions has accelerated the hybrid learning tools market in the North American region.

On the other side, Asia-pacific is expected to show significant market share growth for hybrid learning tools in the recent period due to the growing inclination of the population towards digital learning practices. For instance, China's population is currently estimated to be around 1.367 million people, with only 100 million people using eLearning opportunities.

That means only 8% of China's population has access to eLearning and participates in it. Still, with 700 million Internet users, there are plenty of expansion possibilities. Furthermore, many well-known educational institutes emphasize interactive learning methods that fuel the region's market expansion.
