Overview

COVID-19 had a significant impact on every aspect of the educational sector. UNESCO’s latest data shows that more than 870 million students at all levels are currently facing disruptions to their education.

From March 2020 to September 2021, approximately 131 million schoolchildren in 11 countries worldwide missed three-quarters of their in-person learning time. Nearly 77 million students – or 59% – have missed almost all of their in-person instruction time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need for the digital transformation of the education sector, forcing many education providers to go online. It’s no surprise that the Edtech sector is becoming increasingly popular among investors. Edtech (educational technology) is a combination of digital technology and educational practices to facilitate and enhance learning and improve access to education.

According to the Grand View Research report, the global education technology market was valued at USD 89.49 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9% from 2021 to 2028. 

Asia has led the growth in VC investment in Edtech in 2020, which increased 94% compared to 2019, reaching $13 billion.

The market’s leading companies concentrate their efforts on growing their customer base and establishing a competitive edge by implementing various strategic initiatives like partnerships, M&A, new product and technology development, etc.

Education is becoming increasingly digitized as new and innovative technologies are used to deliver skills and knowledge and improve communication. As a result, learning and development become available to more people across the globe and can turn into a continuous process throughout one’s life.
