However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent shutdown of schools posed challenges to the industry’s growth.

On-premise deployment mode currently holds the largest share, but the cloud segment is forecasted to exhibit the fastest growth due to its cost-effectiveness and accessibility.

Hardware currently contributes the largest share in terms of spend analysis, while software solutions are expected to witness the fastest growth rate. North America leads the market, driven by the region’s advanced education system, emphasis on reducing administrative burdens, increased investment in educational technology (EdTech), and demand for personalized learning. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience the highest growth rate, primarily due to the widespread adoption of online learning.
