The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, rising digital transformation, and a rise in Internet penetration.

The edtech and smart classrooms market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $434.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing government support, rising investments, and an increasing penetration of mobile devices. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence in edtech and smart classrooms, focus on technology advancement, focus on virtual learning environment, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The forecast of 19.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs may drive up costs for smart boards, classroom tablets, and digital projectors sourced from China and Japan, slowing EdTech adoption in U.S. schools. 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 increasing demand for online learning is expected to drive the growth of the edtech and smart classrooms market in the coming years. Online learning refers to the process of gaining knowledge or skills through digital technologies and the internet. The rise of online learning is attributed to its convenience, accessibility, affordability, and technological advancements, catering to diverse learning needs and fitting into busy lifestyles. Edtech and smart classrooms play a crucial role in online learning, providing a centralized platform for content delivery, communication, assessment, and data management. For example, in January 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that the percentage of EU users aged 16 to 74 participating in online education and accessing courses or materials increased by 2 percentage points, reaching 30% in 2023, up from 28% in 2022. As a result, the growing demand for online learning is fueling the expansion of the edtech and smart classrooms market.

The edtech and smart classrooms market is poised for growth, driven significantly by the widespread adoption of mobile devices. The ubiquity of mobile information technologies emancipates students from the constraints of traditional classrooms, enabling learning on the go.
