Growth of EdTech Platforms and Mobile Learning Applications
India mobile education market growth is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of EdTech platforms and mobile learning applications. With the rising penetration of affordable smartphones and internet connectivity, students from urban and rural areas can access quality educational content. For instance, according to a report released on August 13, 2024, the Indian smartphone market delivered 69 million devices in the first half of 2024, representing a 7.2% increase from the previous year. 5G smartphones accounted for 77% of all shipments in the second quarter of 2024, while their average selling price dropped by 22% to USD 293. This increase in 5G adoption is reflective of India's transition towards adopting advanced and eco-friendly mobile technologies. AI-powered personalized learning experiences on platforms such as Byju's, Unacademy, and Vedantu are improving engagement. Furthermore, government schemes like Digital India and online learning initiatives are driving market growth even further. The adaptability of mobile learning, coupled with multimedia content and timely tests, is opening up the opportunity to learn, encouraging accessibility, and improving digital literacy all over India.
Expansion of Mobile-Based Skill Development and Professional Training
The demand for mobile-based skill development and professional training is significantly growing in India, driven by the need for upskilling in a competitive job market. For instance, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship mentioned that as of June 2024, the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), which was introduced in September 2023, has registered roughly 8.8 million candidates. 752 online courses totaling 7.37 lakh minutes of digital content are available on the portal, and 763,000 candidates have signed up for them. With the help of MSMEs and easier access to entrepreneurship programs, SIDH seeks to integrate India's skill development, education, employment, and entrepreneurship landscapes while fostering sustainability. Mobile education platforms offer industry-relevant courses in areas such as IT, finance, and digital marketing, catering to working professionals and students alike. Companies like Coursera, upGrad, and Skill India provide certification programs, making professional learning more convenient and cost-effective. The integration of AR/VR-based simulations and gamified learning enhances engagement, ensuring better knowledge retention. As India embraces a digital economy, mobile-based learning is playing a crucial role in shaping a skilled workforce for the future, which in turn is positively impacting the India mobile education market outlook.
