The education ERP market is currently in early development stages, presenting lucrative opportunities for all market participants in the coming years. While quality and innovation of ERP solutions are expected to be key differentiators for larger players, costs and service quality would remain major driving factors for smaller market participants. At present, the educational system globally has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in significant challenges for educational institutions and students. The crisis encouraged a large number of schools and colleges to consider remote learning platforms for uninterrupted education for students along with online management systems for smooth administrative functions. Online learning platforms enabled teachers to easily reach students and adjust with the work-from-home culture. The technology ensures connectivity between students and faculty for course materials and schedules along with virtual classes.

The pandemic set a perfect landscape for education ERP solutions in various regional markets, where government restrictions resulted in temporarily closure of schools and higher education institutions. The situation prompted a large number of institutions to embrace online or remote education for uninterrupted learning for students. In addition, various institutions have invested in automated institution management systems including education ERP, learning management tools and student information systems. On the other hand, education institutions have also reduced spending on new services and infrastructure development. Moreover, nationwide lockdowns across several countries created the requirement for institutes to conduct administrative and academic processes virtually, offering a strong boost to the education ERP market in the region.

The service segment holds the largest share of the education ERP market and is expected to maintain its dominance over the next few years. The growth in the services segment is primarily attributed to the rising adoption of technological modules and solutions in academic institutions. Service providers are increasingly focusing on delivering dedicated services based on specific requirements of educational institutions.
