Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on E-learning Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically impacted the global information & communication technology industry, causing major revenue loss. However, the global e-learning market, in particular, experienced minimum impact owing to the imposition of measures such as social distancing and work from home model. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a change in the education system due to the rise of e-learning on digital platforms. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sudden shift in the functioning of various classrooms and institutions; it also increased the adoption of online learning platforms and tools such as teaching apps, virtual tutoring, video conferencing tools, and online learning software.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the e-learning market growth due to an increase in the adoption of e-learning solutions across several countries across the world. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum report of April 2020, more than 1.2 billion students in 186 countries were affected by the shutdown of schools due to the pandemic. Tencent's classroom has been used extensively since mid-February 2020 after the Chinese government instructed a quarter of a billion full-time students to resume their studies through online platforms. This resulted in the most significant transformation in the education system, with approximately 730,000 (or 81%) of K-12 students attending classes through the Tencent K-12 Online School in Wuhan, China. Thus, schools and universities have increasingly adopted the e-learning system after the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak.
