Since 2000, e-Learning has grown by a whopping 900% and that trend is expected to continue with the market expected to reach $340 billion in value by 2026.<\/p>

The United States, India, China, South Korea, United Kingdom, and C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire have invested most in e-Learning, with the US and Europe currently the largest e-Learning markets and the Asia-Pacific market set to explode with an expected 13.7% annual growth rate.<\/p>

And students are thriving online.<\/p>

A recent survey showed that 52% of graduate students in the U.S. found their online college-level education to provide a better learning experience than their college-level classroom education.<\/p>

And e-Learning is growing within the corporate world, with Global corporate online learning market projected to grow to $50 billion by 2026. This adoption of e-Learning in the corporate world has been driven by the \u00a0proven learning outcomes, business results, and employee satisfaction in the education space.<\/p>

The Learning Management System (LMS) market is also witnessing rapid growth as institutional e-Learning rises. The LMS market is projected to reach $29.9 billion by 2025, with a projected annual growth rate of 21.1%.\u00a0<\/p>

And online courses are good for the environment, resulting in nearly 87% less energy consumption and an 85% reduction in CO2 emissions when compared to traditional classroom courses.\u00a0<\/p>

With the continued emergence of e-Learning, the overall global savings in energy consumption and carbon footprint over the coming decades could be massive.<\/p>

Greater flexibility and lower costs are fueling the demand for online programs. In 2019 83% of higher education administrators in the US reported a surge in demand for online programs in their institutions.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
