These solutions can be deployed both on cloud-based platforms and on-premise infrastructure, catering to a wide range of educational institutions including primary and secondary schools, universities, research institutes, and training institutions.
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 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 admission management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2024 to $1.6 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the demand for improving efficiency, increased competition among educational institutions, demand for streamlined admissions processes, regulatory compliance requirements, and increased focus on enhancing student experience.
The admission management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of online education, rising demand for data-driven decision-making, integration with other education management systems, increasing focus on personalized learning experiences. Major trends in the forecast period include growing digitization of educational institutions, integration with additional educational software systems, increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in admissions processes, continued development of new features and functionalities and increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions.
The forecast of 11.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by raising costs for educational institutions, as cloud-based enrollment systems rely on servers and networking gear imported from China and Mexico. 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 anticipated increase in student enrollment is expected to drive the growth of the admission management software market in the coming years. Student enrollment refers to the total number of students registered or enrolled in educational institutions within a specific period. The rise in student enrollment can be attributed to factors such as growing awareness about education, increased access to educational services, and the proliferation of online educational platforms. Admission management software facilitates online application submissions, reducing paperwork and enhancing convenience for both students and administrators. For example, according to the United States Census Bureau in October 2023, total enrollment in U.S. schools increased by 1.3 million from 2021 to 2022, reaching a total of 75.2 million enrolled students. This surge in student enrollment is a key driver behind the growth of the admission management software market.
Prominent players in the admission management software sector are innovating with cutting-edge solutions such as cloud-based school management systems to bolster scalability, accessibility, and adaptability for educational establishments. Cloud-based school management systems encompass comprehensive digital platforms hosted on cloud infrastructure, streamlining the admissions process in educational settings. For example, in February 2023, Techdost, an India-based company specializing in digital marketing services and web development solutions, introduced Vedmarg, a cloud-based school management system (comprising school ERP and learning management system). Vedmarg aims to simplify the intricate administrative tasks of educational institutions through its 80+ modules, including admission registration, fee management with transportation, attendance tracking, report generation, mark sheets, exam timetables, admit cards, ID cards, online exams, quizzes, and transfer certificates, among others. The software endeavors to enhance the operational efficiency of schools and colleges by providing a centralized platform for remotely accessing departmental data from any location at any time. Additionally, it offers features such as customizable fee structures, cloud-based data backup, SMS alerts, and seamless data accessibility, thereby facilitating financial management, parent-student communication, and productivity enhancement for educational institutions.
