This education market report explores the growth and benefits of video conferencing in education. It includes video use, distance learning, lecture capture systems and non-teaching use cases, which have all witnessed accelerated growth since the COVID-19 pandemic. And while there is considerable excitement surrounding the potential for increased use of video within education, the vertical presents some unique challenges for businesses. These need to be considered carefully, particularly by vendors more accustomed to the corporate space.
As a result, this report has been created to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of video conferencing in education for vendors, review eco initiatives, and explore the drivers and barriers to adoption. It also compares the sustainability programmes of leading PC OEMs and the attitudes towards eco practices among K-12 and higher education IT decision-makers.
This report provides a strategic framework for any enterprise wanting to enter or strengthen its position in video conferencing in higher education or K-12 markets.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the education sector already commanded a significant share of the room conferencing market. However, since 2020, the importance of video conferencing in education has skyrocketed. In 2020, total volumes rose by 252%, and education’s share of the total market went from 18% to 40%. At the same time, many vendors in this area suffered from decreasing sales into the corporate vertical, due to office closures and increased home-working, but found that the education vertical covered this shortfall.
Futuresource expects the total video market in education to grow at a CAGR of 11% in volume, and 24% in value, out to 2025. This is being driven by the increased uptake of higher-priced devices such as collaboration bars.
In value terms, Futuresource forecasts show that the Americas and EMEA exhibit the greatest value growth potential, with a CAGR of 24% in both markets. A preference for lower-cost devices in APAC is resulting in a reduced CAGR of 19% for that region.
Moving forward, despite the decline of fully remote learning, there are important ways in which video communications can be leveraged within the classroom. For example, it allows for pupils in different schools to attend a class taught by a different teacher, opening up the subject options any one school can offer to its students. There are also large opportunities for changing the way that students approach certain subjects, by linking schools in different countries to facilitate foreign language learning.
