Leveraging AI technology within educational applications and platforms tailors learning experiences to suit individual needs. Moreover, smartphones facilitate real-time interaction and engagement, enabling seamless communication between students and AI-powered virtual assistants (tutors). The widespread adoption of smartphones amplifies the reach and impact of AI in education, fostering accessible and personalized learning experiences for a broader population. For instance, as per the Ericsson Mobility Report 2022 by Ericsson, a networking and telecommunications company based in Sweden, smartphone subscriptions reached 6,420 million in 2022 and are projected to grow to 7,740 million subscriptions by 2028. Thus, the rising number of smartphone users is set to propel the AI in education market.

The escalating uptake of online education is poised to fuel the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the education sector. Online education, synonymous with e-learning or virtual learning, involves delivering educational content and instruction through the internet or digital technologies. Integrating AI technologies into online learning platforms enhances the overall educational experience. For instance, in 2021, as revealed in a survey published by the University Professional and Continuing Education Association, a UK-based online and professional education association, 51% of faculty members in the U.S. expressed increased confidence in online education compared to pre-pandemic levels. Consequently, the growing adoption of online education is expected to drive the AI in education market.

Product innovation emerges as a pivotal trend driving market traction in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) within the education sector. Major industry players are intensively focused on pioneering advanced solutions to fortify their market presence. For instance, in February 2023, Nerdy Inc., a US-based platform for live online learning, introduced two groundbreaking products such as an AI-Generated Lesson Plan Creator and AI-Generated Chat Tutoring, both seamlessly integrated with ChatGPT across its suite of offerings. Leveraging ChatGPT, an AI chatbot employing natural language processing for human-such as conversational dialogue, the AI-generated lesson plan creator generates diverse content for experts, providing comprehensive suggestions on structuring lessons and maximizing content utilization. Simultaneously, AI-enabled chat tutoring delivers real-time support to consumer learning membership customers 24x7, delivering prompt and accurate responses to student queries.

Strategic partnerships represent a prominent trend gaining traction within the AI in education sector. Major market players are actively forging alliances to fortify their market positions. For instance, in July 2021, The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), a national-level education board in India, collaborated with Intel Corporation, a US-based technology company, to launch the AI learning platform named AI Students Community (AISC). This collaboration aims to unite students from both CBSE and non-CBSE schools, enabling them to learn from Intel’s AI-certified experts, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

In September 2021, Pearson Education Limited, a prominent UK-based education publishing and assessment service provider, successfully acquired Faethm Pty Ltd. for $75.1 million.
