Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Personal Development Market Driver
The rise in cost-effective content development is notably driving the self help industry growth. Vendors are investing heavily in content marketing strategies in the extremely competitive B2B marketing landscape. Content marketing has shown to be one of the most effective ways to increase audience involvement. More than any other strategy, the presence of consistent, high-quality, and engaging content influences audience decisions. Personal development vendors are taking advantage of these platforms and focusing on the weak points of the audience to attract them. The market is growing at a positive rate, and it is expected to remain the same during the forecast period.
Key Personal Development Market Trend
The rising adoption of cloud computing in the academic sector is the primary trend driving the self help industry growth. Cloud infrastructure offers ed-tech companies the flexibility and accessibility that the education sector demands. Students and institutions increasingly prefer online content to traditional printed textbooks due to the lower cost of acquisition and ease of use on the go. Educational institutions encourage students to bring their own digital devices to access digital learning content. Several vendors are helping more educational institutions develop and improve their digital library systems using cloud services. With the rapid development of critical infrastructure in emerging economies such as China and India, their education systems are increasingly competing with those in advanced economies such as the US and the UK. Thus, the adoption of smartphones as the primary platform for educational content is expected to boost the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Personal Development Market Challenge
The increasing adoption of open-source solutions may impede self help industry growth. Open-source personality development solutions offer free-of-cost solutions and are available in the form of magazine articles, YouTube videos, and talks by motivational speakers. Most audiences prefer these solutions instead of paid solutions as they are capable of delivering the same knowledge as paid sources. Therefore, these open-source personality development solutions pose a challenge for the global personality development market and will continue to do so during the forecast period.
