Adaptive Learning Market Dynamics

The global adaptive learning market is driven by the need for tailored solutions in the education sector.

Need for tailored solutions in the education sector

With adaptive learning, students in schools and colleges can have learning modules tailored to their specific needs, ways of learning and learning difficulties. Adaptive learning is the future of education; students across the globe will benefit from selecting courses and modules that are tailored around how they prefer and need to learn. The utilization of adaptive learning lessens the gap between low and high performers and drives students towards mastery.

A recent Adaptemy company investigation concluded that using a system powered with adaptive and personalized learning experiences, students' maths ability increased by 8.3% on average per concept for an average of 5 minutes. Moreover, the growth progressed to 12.4% on average per concept. Everyone cannot absorb the knowledge a teacher is trying to provide the same way, so some learners will understand it, whereas others will struggle. These scenarios create the need for more advanced learning solutions, driving the demand for the adaptive learning market.

Blending adaptive learning with predictive analytics holds vast potential for enhancing students learning and producing positive learning outcomes. AI-based learning systems can gather and process large amounts of data from students learning activities, such as response latency, time spent on completing each task and assessment results. The data can recognize patterns and build predictive models that identify student needs and intensify the content delivered to every learner. Algorithms analyze data very faster than humans. So, students get the prompts, content and interventions, which vary in real-time based on their abilities and needs.

Cost of adaptive learning

The rising cost of adaptive learning can be a major factor restraining the adaptive learning market growth. Many educators have recognized the advantages of adaptive learning; the challenge is finding a way to implement it cost-effectively. The cost of adaptive learning has increased with ongoing technology upgrades, which is uneconomical for end-users to purchase these solutions. The budgets in various developing nations are particularly low are still low and do not allow educational institutes not to accommodate the technology.

Most adaptive systems are proprietary and also need high upfront costs to develop. Adaptive systems are available for few subject areas and are currently focused on a limited number of subjects. The scenarios are expected to restrain the market growth for the adaptive learning market.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis on Adaptive Learning Market

Due to the pandemic, stakeholders across the adaptive learning industry have been growing exponentially. The pandemic has resulted in the closure of schools, causing learning loss among students, schools and EdTech platforms, which has increased the demand for adaptive learning management software. The closure of schools, universities and other learning institutes has impacted the majority world's student population, majorly in the lower-middle-income countries.

The scenarios mentioned above have resulted in extended adoption of adaptive and blended learning models, particularly in countries that have been adversely affected by Covid-19, to continue its pace of learning. The adoption of adaptive learning is predicted to continue beyond the pandemic and will succeed in new models being put in place. The pandemic and economic disruptions have changed the landscape for future work and adaptive learning technologies have the potential to support students pivot toward new careers.

Adaptive Learning Market Segmentation Analysis

By type, the adaptive learning market is segmented into machine learning-based adaptive systems, advanced algorithm adaptive systems, rules-based adaptive systems and decision-tree adaptive systems.

The machine learning-based adaptive systems are expected to grow due to their sophisticated scientific methods

The machine-learning based adaptive systems hold the largest market share for the adaptive learning market globally and are anticipated to continue their dominance in the forecast period. Machine-learning based adaptive platforms are one of the most sophisticated scientific methods to establish a truly adaptive state.

Machine learning is compatible with statistical modeling, pattern recognition, predictive analytics, statistical regularities and other forms of advanced adaptive capabilities. ML-based systems use programmed algorithms to build the adaptive science core and gain real-time predictions about a learner's subject matter mastery.

ML-based adaptive platforms utilize learning algorithms to build other algorithms, designing predictive analytics and adaptive sequences that can continuously gather data and apply it to move a student into a guided learning path. The ML learners regularly harvest data in real-time, discovering student's proficiency in mastering objective-specific content modules.

The data is then applied to alter the sequence of skills or the content type automatically. Learning algorithms generate analytical models intended to produce reliable, repeatable decisions and outcomes that reveal undiscovered insights in student mastery within the ongoing evaluation of historical relationships and data trends.

Global Adaptive Learning Market Geographical Share

North America holds the largest market share due to rapid adoption of new technologies in the education sector
