MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Increasing Internet Penetration

Another driver for the online learning platforms market in Latin America has been the rapid growth of the internet in the region, influenced by investment in telecommunications infrastructure and increased broadband and mobile coverage. It is also thought to increase number of people that could be brought online like people in rural areas with little access to education. In Brazil, the National Strategy for Connected Schools was launched in November 2023, to plan to connect 140,000 public schools to the internet by 2026 in order to ensure quality ICT access to education. This accessibility contributed to greater participation in digital education and market growth.

Rising Demand for Skill Development

Industries modernize, advanced technologies adopt, skills require, and training happens. This process in Latin America's labor market rapidly evolves from the need for online courses and from all of these driving factors. Training in fields like information technology and digital marketing is in demand. Since 2023, 1MiO in Brazil created over 512,000 opportunities for youth in work and skills development. This included 232,743 opportunities for youth to work and 186,454 opportunities for youth to acquire skills. Through the "Access Your Potential" (AYP) program, PwC Brazil is helping 700 young people with skills training and mentoring, and also providing 50 scholarships in response to the 18% youth unemployment rate.

Shift Towards Flexible Learning Solutions

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the popularity of online tools and platforms, as schools and businesses have adopted them to continue their education and training programs. Flexible study modes let students learn at any time of the day so students keep up with their busy schedule. In 2023, Latin America and the Caribbean had 21.2 million Coursera students. In Latin America and the Caribbean, Chile was fifth and had over 1.4 million learners on the platform. The online learning delivery mode has expanded the market as both learners and providers have begun to realize its benefits.
