Digital Business Solutions for the Education Sector

Digitalization of the Education Sector

Due to the disruption caused by the pandemic the education sector has had to re-think how to deliver education. It is now expected that education can be delivered fully digitally and virtually in an efficient and cost-effective way. With this shift, there are challenges and opportunities for teachers, students, and administrators.

The EdTech market size was valued at USD 254.80 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 605.40 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 15.52% during the forecast period according to Report Linker on the Global Outlook & Forecast 2022-2027.

While there is an accelerated need for digitalization in the education sector there are also opportunities caused by rising demand on the transaction side. At OMMAX we have not only supported companies with the strategy and execution of digital solutions for the education sector but have also advised leading private equities in this sector.
