Testing & Educational Support in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Making the Grade: Expanding Enrollment and Improving Disposable Incomes Will Likely Drive Industry Growth

Growth in education funding and income levels have bolstered demand for testing and educational support services. However, this growth is offset by a stagnating number of high school graduates who potentially require test preparation materials before taking the SAT and ACT exams. In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak led to the cancellations of multiple test exams and school closures throughout the country. Fortunately, demand for these services has resumed thanks to the rollout of vaccines. Ultimately, industry revenue expanded at a CAGR of 3.6% to $26.1 billion over the past five years, including a decline of 1.3% in 2023 alone.
