Smart education and learning involve the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create personalized, interactive, and efficient educational experiences. This approach enhances the learning process by providing tailored content, real-time feedback, and adaptive learning environments that meet individual student needs and preferences.
The primary components of smart education and learning include hardware, software, and services. Smart education and learning hardware comprises devices and tools designed to improve educational experiences through technology integration and connectivity. The learning modes encompass virtual instructor-led training, simulation-based learning, social learning, blended learning, adaptive learning, and collaborative learning, and these are used by various end users, including academic institutions and corporations.
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 smart education and learning research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides smart education and learning market statistics, including the smart education and learning industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a smart education and learning market share, detailed smart education and learning market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the smart education and learning industry. This smart education and learning market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The smart education and learning market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $395.01 billion in 2024 to $480.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to access to remote education, customized learning, an increasing need for flexible and accessible learning options, favorable government initiatives and corporate funding, increase in internet penetration.
The smart education and learning market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1025.29 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of IoT devices, growing demand for adaptive learning systems, increased focus on data analytics, growing need for corporate training and professional development, and growing need for virtual classrooms. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-powered adaptive learning systems, virtual reality (VR) simulations that provide immersive, interactive learning experiences, cloud-based learning platforms, and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms that enable voice-activated learning assistants and chatbots.
The forecast of 20.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade restrictions may impact U.S. educational institutions by driving up prices for artificial intelligence-powered tutoring systems and adaptive learning platforms imported from Finland and Israel, resulting in reduced personalized learning capabilities and higher 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 adoption of e-learning methods is expected to drive the expansion of the smart education and learning market in the coming years. E-learning methods involve educational approaches that leverage electronic technologies to deliver curricula outside traditional classroom settings. The rise in the use of e-learning methods reflects a global shift towards digital education solutions. Smart education and learning further enhance e-learning by offering personalized, interactive, and efficient educational experiences through advanced technologies. For example, in May 2024, the National Center for Education Statistics, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that 87% of public schools provided tutoring during the 2023-24 school year, with 47% offering multiple types of tutoring. Specifically, 46% of schools offered high-dosage tutoring, 66% provided standard tutoring, 24% had self-paced tutoring, and 13% offered on-demand online tutoring. As a result, the increasing adoption of e-learning methods is fueling growth in the smart education and learning market.
Leading companies in the smart education and learning market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions, such as smart classroom services, to improve digital learning experiences. These smart classroom services create interactive, technology-enhanced environments that support modern teaching and learning practices. For instance, in February 2023, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., a China-based digital communications technology company, introduced a new smart classroom solution. This solution includes live streaming, automated recording, and class analysis capabilities, and it leverages edge-cloud technology to enhance teaching methods. Intelligent edge devices connect video resources to the cloud platform, enabling features such as smart attendance, real-time speech-to-text conversion, and online video resource management.
