The SEL market size is projected to grow from USD 3.6 billion in 2023 to USD 10.3 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 23.6% during the forecast period, according to MarketsandMarkets. The growing demand for SEL is increasing due to the usage and demand for various advanced technologies, such as wearable devices, mixed reality, and AI. Emotional Learning (EL) involves developing an individual’s ability to make positive life choices, achieve intellectual success, and build a promising career. SEL solutions encompass a range of tools, programs, and assessments that help educators, parents, and communities guide students through managing their emotions, relationships, goals, and responsibilities, while making informed decisions.

“By Type, the application segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

The term “application” refers to the SEL platform set up on school servers, desktop computers, or mobile devices, which teachers and students can access. The SEL curriculum can be accessed without an internet connection in exceptional circumstances. The application-based SEL platform is handy for schools with poor internet connectivity in rural areas. Due to their ease of use and continuous operation, SEL programs are preferred by schools in developing countries. SEL suppliers promptly send updated software to schools in case of an upgrade.

“By End Use, the Middle and High Schools segment is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period.”

Middle and high school students, aged 11 to 18 are typically divided into different age groups. However, when applying SEL, this group needs to be more noticed. But, with growing concerns about social and behavioral difficulties, indiscipline, emotional distress, and poor management, more educators are focusing on SEL solutions. Middle and high school students can now choose from various SEL modules offered by providers, which include platforms, interactive games, tales, and workshops. SEL teaches adaptable skills that are useful both inside and outside the classroom.

“Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

Due to its rapid development, Asia Pacific is one of the most lucrative markets for SEL. SEL solutions are being quickly adopted, making it the fastest-growing market globally. China and Japan, the region’s most technologically advanced nations, dominate the SEL market. The region has the largest student population, and with technological advancements, there is an increasing need for newer teaching methods. The SEL market is driven to adapt to Asia Pacific’s diverse educational needs, including ANZ, Japan, China, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and India. During the projection period, Asia Pacific is expected to have more growth opportunities—the government programs to boost digital infrastructure fuel the region’s adoption of SEL.
