This market research report identifies players like Carolina Biological Supply, eScience Labs, LAB-AIDS, and Quality Science Labs to be the key vendors in the K-12 laboratory kits market in the US. This research report also presents a detailed segmentation of the market by product (science and others) and by end-user (elementary and secondary school).
Overview of the K-12 laboratory kits market in the US
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the K-12 laboratory kits market in the US to grow at a CAGR of almost 12% between 2016 and 2020. Several K-12 schools in the US are implementing various education technology products and refurbishing their teaching and learning methodologies. Schools are endorsing the concept of experiential learning as it aligns with their student-centric learning approach. Such advanced curriculum processes allow students to take responsibility for their learning process. To complement the such approaches, educational institutions in the US are adopting instructional materials such as laboratory kits to increase the element of personalized learning, primarily in the K-12 segment.
Owing to the paradigm shift in the delivery of education, experiential and inquiry-based learning has gained huge traction in the market, which has increased the adoption of laboratories that endorses the culture of learning through curiosity. Laboratories are increasingly being used as the potential medium to address the weaknesses associated with traditional pedagogy. There has been a rise in experiential learning to operationalize theoretical concepts using laboratories as the medium of granting education to students. Experiential learning involves real-life problem solving, replication of authentic situations and contexts, and offers learner-controlled activities, which ultimately allows the learner to develop their cognitive skills. The experiments that are carried out in laboratories are designed to enhance pedagogy used by schools.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The surging quality of education has necessitated the adoption of updated products and replacement of traditional equipment in the educational sector. The vendors in this market are facing issues related to the commoditization of the laboratory kits and compete on the basis of price and product quality. Vendors such as LAB-AIDS offer products on sale to customers to attract their interest and loyalty. The players are providing complementary services such as customization and professional development to increase collaborations with schools. They are broadening their product portfolios to include various subjects such as geography and astronomy apart from traditional science subjects. However, the market faces immense threat from the online methods of carrying out experiments through virtual and remote laboratories.
