Microlearning Market by Component (Solution and Services), Organization Size, Deployment Type, Industry (Retail, Manufacturing and Logistics, BFSI, Telecom and IT, Healthcare and Life Sciences), and Region - Global Forecast to 2024
[123 Pages Report] The global microlearning market size is expected to grow from USD 1.5 billion in 2019 to USD 2.7 billion by 2024, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.2% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for training deskless and mobile workers across industries and growing need for skills-based and result-oriented training among enterprises are the major factors driving the growth of the market. Lack of impetus among learners and lack of awareness of microlearning benefits are the challenges.
By vertical, the manufacturing vertical to be a significant contributor in the microlearning market during the forecast period
Microlearning in the manufacturing and logistics industry focuses on increasing efficiency, maintaining/improving quality, and complying with safety policies. Skilled technicians can greatly improve the efficiency of the manufacturing and logistics operations, and the quality of the final product. By leveraging microlearning, employees can learn content by staying on their working premises, thus increasing the overall business productivity. A short burst of training lessons is used by technicians, factory workers, drivers, and other staff members to get quickly aligned with machines, processes, and compliances.
On-premise type to hold the highest market share during the forecast period
The on-premises microlearning solution is deployed on the server of the client organization; however, the user or buyer needs to acquire a license to use the microlearning solution, which is also customizable. The setup and maintenance are taken care of by the internal IT staff of the buyer, who has full control over the microlearning solution. The on-premises microlearning solution enables enterprises to create, store, and deliver business-critical data and control access to training programs. The percentage share of on-premises microlearning solution is decreasing, as these applications demand high-initial investments and long-term developer commitment. The on-premises microlearning solution is used by enterprises in which the continuous availability of a learning system is significant for the business process outcome. With the deployment of an on-premises microlearning solution, enterprises get greater control over the investments made for setting up the infrastructure, as it decreases the overall network cost.
Asia Pacific to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Asia Pacific (APAC) is emerging as the fastest-growing market for microlearning solutions. APAC organizations are trying their best to gain better Return on Investment (ROI) on talent development and employee training, and receive quantifiable business outcomes. Various organizations prefer technology-enabled learning approaches to offer training and resources to their learners, which are also cost-effective, as they have tight learning budgets. Several learning solution vendors are expanding their reach and exploring opportunities in APAC by offering a personalized learning environment.
