Private Tutoring Market in China 2017-2021

Overview of the private tutoring market in China

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the private tutoring market in China to grow steadily at a CAGR of above 11% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the rise in the number of enrollments in graduate schools. It has been observed that an increase in the number of enrollments in graduate schools is directly related to the number of students enrolling for tutoring services. With the rise in the number of graduate enrollments, the number of students appearing for academic proficiency tests and Gaokao tests has also increased, as these examinations are prerequisites for students in China to enroll into the country’s regular higher education system. Students enroll in private tutoring services to get the maximum scores in the tests and to gain a competitive advantage over other students during admissions into premium institutions. Also, the increase in income of the middle-class population is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the private tutoring market in China during the forecast period.

One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the increase in the demand for mobile learning. The increase in the adoption of smartphones and tablets by the students and parents has led to the rise in popularity of m-learning methods. A huge population presents a huge student base for mobile-based tutoring services. Consequently, this has increased the scope for private tutoring service providers who want to introduce m-learning services for their users. Also, many tutoring service providers are implementing this education technology solution to enhance the learning process. This, in turn, is expected to augment growth in the private tutoring market in China in the coming years.
