Publishing for the PreK-12 Market 2024-2025

Simba Information’s Publishing for the PreK-12 Market, 2024-2025 report provides critical insights into the growing market for instructional materials in the K-12 education sector, with a focus on the transition to digital learning and the rise of personalized education models such as homeschooling, virtual schools, and charter schools. Key areas of growth include career and technical education (CTE), early literacy programs, and teacher workforce development, as states prioritize solutions for post-pandemic learning losses. As ESSER funding phases out, the education market faces potential economic uncertainties, affecting both public and private educational institutions.

Simba’s Publishing for the PreK-12 Market, 2024-2025 analyzes these current trends in K-12 education and provides details on the growth of the instructional materials market in 2023 which totals $10.6 billion. The report highlights key players such as Pearson, McGraw-Hill, and Discovery Education, noting a decline in mergers and acquisitions as companies adapt to changing educational demands. This comprehensive analysis offers forecasts for 2025 and beyond, making it a valuable resource for understanding educational publishing, digital learning trends, and policy shifts impacting K-12 instructional materials.
