The market is growing substantially thanks to the widespread good-deals of subscriptions on E-learning platforms, such as Ivy League university courses and consultable data of renowned institutions. Unofficially, many trending websites and mobile applications offer a wide database of informative and rich video tutorials to help acquire a tremendous variety of skills without even needing an interaction with the tutor. On top of all these relevant factors, the E-learning market displays more properties as an advanced learning method to increase its customers, among which is the extreme adaptation of information to the levels of understanding of each target recipient, as to make the content easily accessible and apprehended by everyone, in this vision, many websites include videos attachments and animated clips or images to illustrate the ideas they want to convey, along with the concept of gamification that makes the process of learning fun and appealing even to younger audiences.

On an academic level, most universities and higher education institutions tend to develop besides their conventional informative websites, mobile applications that are easily consultable by students in order to access their courses and track their curriculum as well as check administration related data such as timetables. 
On a corporation level, the idea of E-learning has grown in popularity because it allows an effective and easily trackable level of training without needing a physical face-to-face content which makes it more cost-effective and schedule-friendly to many busy companies workers. Moreover, E-learning requires advanced hardware and software resources that allow it to become an autonomous platform that the corporation can supply with endless data entries without worrying about exceeding storage limits that exist in most conventional websites and applications. On another note, the usage of “cloud-based” E-learning platforms has allowed a better and easier accessibility to online contents to the point that it becomes consultable through mobile phones with a maximal content delivery, time management and just a few clicks away.

The market segmentation:

The segmentation of this market needs to be held out on many levels, so as to thoroughly understand how complex and multifaceted it is. Many nuances of segments exist on the market of E-learning, the segmentation that is very prominent is the one based on the delivery mode, whereas the second subtype is related to the learning mode, the third to the type, the fourth to end-users and finally the last to the geographical distribution of this market.
i.    Segmentation based on the delivery mode:
We can distinguish between three subtypes of delivery modes in the E-learning technique:
•    Packaged content. 
•    Saas/LMS.
•    Others.

The packaged content segment retains the biggest market share, due to its easy accessibility and its pocket-friendly properties. This segment is expected to stay at the first position in the years to come, as it is the most used and innovative delivery type. However, the Learning Management System (LMS) segment is anticipated to grow at a faster pace and to reach a higher CAGR in the upcoming period, due to its widespread usage mainly in corporations that opt for SaaS-based LMS to train their employees and track their levels of learning. The third segment comprises mainly video learning and virtual classroom platforms that are also expected to rise drastically in importance and in market value especially after the viral outbreak and in light of the lockdown that made their usage more convenient and frequent.
ii.    Segmentation based on the leaning mode:
The two available learning modes online are instructor-led or self-paced learning. In terms of popularity, the self-paced method is the highly used and recommended technique in learning online, it represents a flexible, shackles and stress-free process that lures many people and makes learning more fun and accessible. The self-paced mode is expected to keep being on top as it represents a high amount of available resources and is the most cost-effective option. However, in light of the current world lockdown, instructor-led learning is rising in popularity as it substitutes the traditional classroom setting and ensures more engagement and productivity. 
iii.    Segmentation based on the type:
The E-learning is used for two main purposes, training and testing. The training segment represents 75% of the global market share and that is justified by the growing requirements to train individuals. However, the testing segment is also anticipated to grow significantly in terms of the CAGR due to the current lockdown situation, the easy usage of such platforms and the preciseness of testing online.
iv.    Segmentation based on end-users:

The possible end-users that can benefit from the E-learning market are:
•    Government. 
•    K-12.
•    Corporations. 
•    Education institute. 
•    Miscellaneous  individual uses.

The corporate segment dominates the global market of E-learning due to its intensive usage in the professional environment the most. However, K-12 (terms coining the educational technology), higher education institutes and individual uses are expected to outgrow the first segment due to the high demand the market witnesses from these end-users, as well as the inclination of individuals towards this technique in many purposes such as skill-acquiring, language-learning and other relevant subjects.

v.    Segmentation based on the geographical distribution:
North America retains the largest share of 40% in the E-learning market due to its early adoption of this educational method and the mass involvement in normalizing and spreading its usage. However, both Europe and the APAC region contribute majorly in the market by establishing various programs and courses and inviting the corporate system to follow this trend as well, even the developing markets in the MEA region are catching up on this technological innovation trend and are displaying more efforts to make it a successful experience. Overall and on a global scope, the market is growing exponentially in terms of usage and revenue, especially by the high engagement of youthful populations and audiences and the willingness of more people to be autodidacts and to improve their acquired skills with the most effective costs and the least efforts possible. The popularity of E-learning platforms is increasing substantially on a global level generating by consequence an even richer and more diverse supply to the world market of E-learning.

The market forecast:

It is no secret that the world’s hidden magical power is its connectivity and its rapidity in demanding and supplying the information. Those luxuries would not have been possible without the internet and the wide database and consultable gems it lays before humanity. This very idea of laying the information at the bare between the hands of the user is the concept of E-learning and what keeps it rising in popularity day after day. With all the above mentioned benefits of this means of education and training, the E-learning market has guaranteed its share, profitability and reputation in the global economic market, all is left to do is establish new trends and dynamics and bypass the hindrances blocking its way to reach an optimal level of completion. Amongst the trends that the E-learning sector is working on to strengthen its positions are:
•    Micro-learning.
•    AI assisted learning. 
•    Video learning.
•    Advanced content gamification. 
•    AV/VR inclusive technology learning.
•    Advanced mobile learning.
•    Ameliorated user-tutor interaction. 

E-learning will shatter the profitability rates once it incorporates more mobile and portable delivery platforms than the ones merely accessible through desktop computers. This portability of learning will promote by consequence more concise and targeted search queries and a content that is adapted to these quests; this way E-learning will become more practical and more channeled towards contextualized needs. On another note, E-learning is not exempt from adapting a somewhat fun and commercial approach in a vision of procuring a better understanding and an accurate vulgarization of whatever content in hand. It is exactly in this perspective that gamification and bite-sized learning are being supported by the E-learning platforms as active methods to make the information stick faster and longer with younger recipients than a conventional course material, also by making a sensory experience that stimulates them in various mental aspects as well as making it a fun process to learn pushing them to even become motivated enough to make the initiative of searching for knowledge.
On the bottom line, E-learning should become a more normalized and widespread means of learning, as it turns out that it is the only prevailing learning method in the upcoming years of intense technological usage and innovation. As a response to this prospective demand, the market should supply with more adaptable content and make its platforms more cost-effective and accessible on a global scale, as to include each potential recipient in the process of learning and why not, make it a fun process rather than a formal, conventional one.

Increasing penetration of internet access and advanced technology with increasing adoption of training and learning programs online for corporate and academic set up especially after the alarming situation of the pandemic is expected to drive the e-learning market globally.
