Rising demand for sustained enrollment is the key factor driving the growth of the China preschool or childcare market. Although the government in China does not facilitate subsidized education in preschools or kindergartens, there has been a rise in demand for preschool education in the country. However, the government has increased funding for preschool education. Rising disposable income has also created a demand for different types of preschool services. This has allowed domestic and international players to invest in this market

Parents also prefer their children to study at an international preschool. This is because these schools have accreditations that are recognized around the world. Moreover, owing to the increasing number of children enrolled in preschools, vendors are opening new branches to capture market share and sustain in the competitive market in China.

The full-time preschool or childcare segment was valued at USD 6.51 billion in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021The general education system in China is very rigid, with limited focus on aspects other than curriculum and assessment. Due to the increasing number of international schools in China, the learning process at K-12 and higher education levels is significantly being revamped.  Moreover, the current generation of parents in China consists of millennials educated under the traditional Chinese education system. They are also aware of the challenges they faced when entering the globalized workforce. Therefore, as an initiation for the overall grooming of their children during the formative years, parents intend to enroll them in full-time preschools. This is because these schools not only have a set curriculum and framework, but also a well-structured calendar that focuses on the child's learning process and self-development activities. Such factors will increase segment growth during the forecast period.

Preschool Or Childcare Market In China: Key Trends and Challenges

Trends

Growing dual-income households is the primary trend in the China preschool or childcare market growth. The number of working women in China has increased significantly in recent years. According to the World Bank Group,  women constituted 48.69% of China's total population in 2020 and almost 43.71% of the country's workforce. Moreover, women are moving from Tier 2 cities to Tier 1 cities in search of better opportunities. An increase in the number of working mothers has led to a rise in disposable income with respect to dual-income households. This has increased the average household income.

Owing to this, an increasing number of families in China can avail of facilities of good preschools for their children. This will enhance the number of enrollments. In such households, parents also have higher awareness pertaining to the benefits of sending children to preschools for learning activities. Furthermore, dual-income households have a good understanding of the types of preschools and are in a position to choose the appropriate preschool for their children. Such factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.

Challenge

Increased cost of raising children are a major challenge to the growth of the China preschool or childcare market. The cost of raising a child in China is close to seven times its per capita GDP, significantly higher than in the US and Japan. According to Beijing-based YuWa Population Research Institute, on average, it costs USD 76,760 to raise a child in China. The rapidly increasing education fees are among the major concerns of parents, which may reduce enrollment in preschools or childcare centers. This emphasizes the challenges Chinese officials face as they attempt to address the country's rapidly falling birth rates.

Moreover, the high expense of child-raising is one of the reasons for the rapidly decreasing birth rates. The nation's preschool market's income is impacted by the persistent decline in the birth rate due to all the above-mentioned factors, which also negatively affects the economy's overall growth rate. Thus, the high cost of raising children in the country will negatively impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
