Blended learning encompasses an educational strategy merging traditional in-person teaching with digital learning activities and resources online. This approach offers students a blend of classroom sessions and virtual learning opportunities, fostering a hybrid learning atmosphere that combines the advantages of both conventional and digital learning methodologies.
The primary categories of blended learning include hardware, content, systems, and solutions. Hardware pertains to the physical equipment and infrastructure necessary for facilitating blended learning setups. Various delivery methods, such as the enriched virtual model, face-to-face driver model, flex model, flipped model, online driver model, and rotation model, find application across pre-primary, primary, middle, and high school levels.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are taking a toll on the professional services sector, especially within legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering fields. Increased duties on imported technology, software, office hardware, and digital infrastructure have pushed up operational costs for firms that rely on global systems and resources. Cross-border consulting engagements are experiencing delays and higher expenses due to elevated travel costs and limited access to international data and tools. Moreover, industries heavily impacted by tariffs such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics are reducing their reliance on outsourced services, dampening demand for professional support. In response, service providers are reassessing pricing models, strengthening ties with domestic vendors, and accelerating the adoption of AI and automation to maintain profitability and client satisfaction in an increasingly volatile environment.

The blended learning market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $24.83 billion in 2024 to $27.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to internet accessibility, educational policy funding, demand for flexible learning options, corporate training for lifelong learning, and innovations in educational software and research.
The blended learning market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $43.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements, government policies and funding, changing educational demands, cost-effectiveness, and workforce development needs. Major trends in the forecast period include increased adoption in K-12 education, corporate training and development, advancements in EdTech solutions, the rise of microlearning, and mobile learning.
The forecast of 12.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.9% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to strain U.S. educational institutions by raising expenses for hybrid classroom management systems and interactive whiteboards imported from China and Estonia, potentially reducing the quality of digital-physical learning integration and increasing edtech implementation costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing popularity of online learning is expected to drive the expansion of the blended learning market. Online learning, an educational process conducted over the Internet, is gaining momentum due to its flexibility, accessibility, and ability to accommodate various learning needs and schedules. Online education supports blended learning by offering a flexible platform for delivering content, engaging students in interactive activities, and facilitating communication and collaboration between teachers and students. For example, in May 2023, Coursera, a U.S.-based provider, reported that 77% of learners saw career benefits, with 30% of unemployed participants securing jobs after completing their courses. Additionally, 95% of learners experienced personal growth, and 98% expressed interest in continuing their education through Coursera. As a result, the rise of online learning is fueling the growth of the blended learning market.
Key players in the blended learning market are intensifying their efforts to develop innovative products tailored to evolving educational needs and to enrich the learning experience. Blended learning laptops, for instance, are engineered to facilitate the blended learning approach, which combines online and in-person educational methods. These laptops typically feature robust internet connectivity, high-quality video conferencing capabilities, and interactive software. For instance, in January 2022, The Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), a US-based computer hardware company, introduced the HP Fortis portfolio, specifically crafted for blended learning environments. These devices are engineered to withstand the demands of active and mobile learners, offering durability and mobility essential for seamless blended learning experiences. The portfolio encompasses various devices, including laptops and Chromebooks, catering to diverse learning needs.
In March 2023, Edtech unicorn LEAD, an India-based integrated educational technology solutions provider, acquired Pearson's K-12 learning business for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is poised to strengthen LEAD's integrated edtech offerings, allowing the startup to extend its reach to over 60,000 schools and 5 million students across India by 2026, thereby significantly expanding its presence in the Indian education sector. Pearson plc, a UK-based education company, specializes in providing educational resources and solutions for primary and secondary schools.
