A major factor contributing to the high growth of the e-learning market is the rising shift towards flexible education solutions in the corporate and the academic sector. These solutions allow students and employees operating in a range of verticals such as healthcare, BFSI, information and telecommunication to have access to quality training but are dispersed over a large geographical area. The rapid scale of globalization has necessitated the need for language and sensitivity learning. MNCs are moving their employee base to foreign locations, leading to the increase in demand for these services. Furthermore, the government of various organizations, such as India, China, and Japan are aiming at improving the literacy of the general population, primarily in rural and semi-rural locations that have very limited access to schooling and educational infrastructure.

eLearning apps can be operated from a range of devices and are not restricted to only a single system. Additionally, these solutions are highly customized to cater to the varying learning capabilities of the user. The high penetration of the internet on a global scale has increased the availability of authoring and design tools, making it easier and inexpensive to develop the apps and is a major factor promoting the growth of the e-learning market. The Adobe Presenter 11, for instance, is an e-learning development tool that enables to turn Power Point presentations into materials that can be visually presentable and accessed by the organization’s online learner community.
