BURLINGAME, Calif. - July 29, 2015 - PRLog -- Outsell, Inc (http://www.outsellinc.com/)., the world’s only research and advisory firm focused on media, information, and technology, today announced publication of a new report, Education Content, EdTech & Human Capital Management: 2015 Market Size, Share, Forecast, and Trend Report (http://www.outsellinc.com/store/products/1317). This report forecasts a CAGR of 4.5% over the period 2014-18, with the Human Capital Management segment growing the fastest at 6.5% and Educational Content lagging at 2.7%. EdTech takes the middle position with a CAGR of 4.3%. This report is the third to use Outsell’s updated definition of this segment, covering Education Content, EdTech, and Human Capital Management, and includes detailed analysis of market trends and with a forecast for segment growth and performance to 2018 in each of the major categories.

The Education Content, EdTech & Human Capital Management market is one of the only segments of the global information market to have experienced continuous growth throughout the economic downturn. Budgets for K-12 and higher education content resources have been flat at best in many developed markets, but good opportunities exist for service development in these markets, and there are also strong growth prospects in regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. In the Human Capital Management segment, demand is strong for offerings that improve HR efficiency and drive corporate growth in addition to helping to support compliance with industry regulations.

Kate Worlock, the report’s author, says, “Education markets have long seen relatively stable growth, although it is becoming increasingly clear that growth in content markets is being overtaken by activities in edtech and in serving HR teams through Human Capital Management solutions. Content players are well placed to use their strong content brands to move into the edtech arena – the challenge here is upgrading the corporate skill set to enable this strategic shift to happen successfully.”

To take advantage of the market’s future growth, Outsell recommends that firms operating in the space ensure that they are prepared to deal with unexpected market developments, form partnerships to extend their skill set, embrace big data, and follow a global vision by using customization and personalization approaches to ensure applicability in different cultures and curricula.
