US Test Preparation Market: Key Trends and Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Trends
An increase in merger and acquisition activities is a primary trend in the market. With the fragmented structure of the US- test preparation market, the number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities has increased significantly, and domestic and international suppliers are eager to enter the market. International and domestic suppliers are increasingly entering into cooperation and collaborations with regional suppliers operating in the market.
For example, Pearson in April 2022 acquired a global online language-learning platform. The acquisition will allow Pearson to provide a wide range of options for people to learn and demonstrate their English proficiency by integrating online self-study into its current diagnostics, learning tools, and assessment portfolios.Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Challenge
Increasing competition from private tutors is a challenge that affects the growth of the market during the forecast period. Tutoring is one of the fastest-growing businesses. A majority of students do not like to take part in group classes, so they are choosing private tutors. For some students, private tuition is a much more efficient method of education that allows them to develop their skills and capabilities at an accelerated pace. The fact that most students are unable to find an appropriate tutor, even though they do want one, is a major concern in the US test preparation market.
As a result, there has been a rapid growth in the number of new websites and businesses entering the tutoring industry. The growth of the private tutoring market is driven by the need for students to be fully equipped with the knowledge necessary to complete the program and the lack of teaching skills in schools and colleges. These unorganized private teachers do not have a fixed rate, which can vary from student to student. Thus, such factors may impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
