The growing importance of STEM education is the key factor driving the market growth. The market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing emphasis on STEM education among learners, parents, and stakeholders. Traditional teaching methods, such as school teachers and coaching classes, are being supplemented with online tutoring to enhance teaching practices and improve student performance. E-learning platforms have become popular investment destinations for startups, offering a distinctive learning environment for students.
Moreover, virtual learning enables user engagement and flexibility, making online courses an attractive option for higher schooling and entrance exam preparation. Online tutoring provides a convenient and effective solution for learners seeking to excel in STEM subjects, offering real-world applications and job opportunities in technology, engineering, and mathematics industries. Overall, the increasing number of STEM job opportunities, coupled with the rising competition in STEM competitive exams, will encourage more students to enrol in STEM courses during the forecast period.
Apps and wearables for online tutoring will fuel the global market growth. In the dynamic online tutoring market, technology plays a pivotal role. School teachers and coaching classes are embracing virtual learning to enhance teaching practices and improve students' performance. Virtual reality (VR) is creating a distinctive learning environment, with online lessons supplemented by mobile apps. E-learning platforms are witnessing significant investment by startups to offer users engaging experiences.
Further, students utilize these apps for accessing study materials, previous-year examination papers with solutions, and practice tests. VR technology and mobile apps are revolutionizing tutoring, providing a more immersive and effective learning experience. Online courses are increasingly popular in higher schooling and entrance exam preparation, offering flexibility and convenience. Therefore, it is expected that more companies will adopt such technologies in their offerings during the forecast period.
The threat from open-source and private tutoring is a major challenge to the global market growth. The market faces significant competition from open-source e-learning platforms, which provide free tutoring resources. These resources are particularly attractive to learners who cannot afford paid online tutoring services. Traditional coaching classes and school teachers also continue to be popular choices for students seeking additional support. However, the investment by startups in virtual learning platforms and online courses has led to increased user engagement and distinctive learning environments.
Moreover, higher education institutions and students preparing for entrance exams also benefit from these e-learning platforms. Despite the high cost, the propensity toward private tutoring remains high due to its personalized teaching practices and potential impact on students' performance in examinations. Therefore, the growing demand for open-source and private tutoring will pose a significant challenge to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
