The sustainable model of interactive teaching is notably driving market growth. In the global education market, the sustainability quotient of any innovation is highly important. Hence, schools consider investment decisions on concepts, technologies, and devices. The demand for sustainable innovations in the market is high.
Many schools and universities are spending heavily on various innovative products to enhance learning and teaching methods. They are using technologies such as IWBs and stylus pens. It has become crucial for colleges, universities, and corporations to implement the required course content and technologies, thereby propelling the demand for IWBs. This, in turn, fuels the need for stylus pens, which will boost the expansion of the market during the forecast period.
Evolving learning methodologies are a key trend influencing market growth. Stylus pens have evolved over the last few years with the increasing adoption of modern learning methodologies, including blended learning, e-learning, and digital learning. Many schools worldwide have been adopting various e-learning platforms to enhance the quality of education.
Blended learning provides a combination of workshop learning and online learning. It is a flexible and cost-effective mode of learning. This type of learning model is increasingly being used by various educational institutions, which, in turn, is driving the expansion of the market along with the demand for IWBs. In addition, the growing popularity of e-books and digital textbooks is gaining traction among students. Schools are encouraged to become paperless and leverage the several benefits offered by the IWBs. Thus, leveraging the abundantly available digital platforms can help the schools deliver good quality education, which will boost the growth of the market trends in focus during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of interactive flat panel displays and interactive projectors may impede the expansion. Interactive projectors are similar to IWBs and can be used on any surface. They are similar to touchscreen devices such as smartphones and tablets but have larger screen sizes. Interactive flat panel displays can be operated either using a stylus or the fingers and have a higher resolution than interactive projectors and IWBs.
Interactive devices such as interactive projectors, IWBs, and interactive flat panel displays have become an important part of classrooms in the education sector. They are also used in the corporate sector for presentations and other purposes. Hence, there will be a decline in the adoption of IWBs when compared to interactive projectors and interactive flat panel displays. Such factors will impede the expansion of the market during the forecast period.
